you know, just realised how much fun id be to have small scale fights against the ai rather than just full 40v40 all the time.

1:38 Zerkovich talking about CP again? and the video is demonetized.

"You concentrate all your forces into one area"

I was always under the impression that dumping 3 units into 1 was a waste besides flanks or monsters. I thought units that are relatively the same size have a hard time making enough room to fight the same target head on

"They won't be the same unit"

8:00 The first person to use this uneven distribution of forces was a Greek called Epaminondas. He beat a Spartan army in exactly that way

[MonkeyMind]

While I don't disagree with the premise of the tactic, In this video's illustration, the "winning" army is bringing more units to bear against the enemy army, than the enemy has. Would like to see the point made again with equivalent units on both sides.

What you're demonstrating is the Oblique Formation, a real strategy employed by Alexander and Napoleon. It works very well. It was hard to pull off historically because you needed your main line to stay firm. In less disciplined armies, they could break because your main forces are focused on the left or right. The center has to hold strong.

But the tactic you described comes down to "Have more (and better) troops than the enemy" because you literally had 6 units while the enemy had 4. In this case, also flanking is viable. Realistically, any concentration of force means a shorter width and a higher risk of getting flanked.
Only exception here would be a 1:1 matchup where you let your elite unit fights a low tier unit in the enemy frontline and breaks through.

It's good to mix Monsterous Infantry together with a normal infantry unit. But it's not that great to pile normal infantry on top of each other. Rather than having 2 units piled on one, you're better off letting the stronger unit continue to fight while pulling the weaker unit back and sending them to go for a flank or something.

I wonder how many players you’ve tricked into grouping for a pit of shades ☠️

[gouda]

Guys I'm concerned about how much CP this man has

[marcomurci]

Thank you Zerkovich for your time and dedication to making educational videos, I always learn something with them, I really appreciate your effort

[Rich-inds]

This a useful tactic in WH3 especially since so many of the maps (settlements, sieges, survival battles) are designed around choke points. Going wide is less of a viable tactic compared to WH2 and monsterous infantry are a bit less useless now as they’re useful for reinforcing infantry.

Is nobody gonna mention how he chose to name it CP combat potential

Force concentration on enemy's front li....
Why does that shadow sorcerer has 200 kills.?!

[CrazyMegaOmega]

Since ranged has been so overtuned in tw warhammer I never focus on any melee tactics like this, to the point where I have no excitement to play melee factions like demons. Im glad this video pointed out there are interesting things to do without having a spam of bows and arty.

Video suggestion, reactive vs proactive play...when should you bank on your advantages vs trying to counter enemy strength. Like should I throw the Minotaur at the week infinity to try and break them, VS sending them at enemy elite to cut them down first
