Orcs & Goblins Tactics page
by Avian
I have been playing with Orcs & Goblins since '98, half way through fifth edition. This page is a collection of my various articles on Orcs & Goblins tactics and army building, with a short summary of each, gathered here for your convenience. Some people will claim that the greenskins require little or no tactics and I certainly disagree with that, though it must be said that greenskin tactics generally involve creative ways of profitably getting your own troops killed.
