They can punish your mistakes and just get away with it. Originally posted by DMan222:I find that Dark Elf teams excel in defense, and their offense is not even close to the power of Wood Elves and High Elves, though, like you said, they are still Elves and AG4 can do many a great thing. Make sure not to overcommit to one side though, they can and will switch sides on you if they like the odds. Defense is usually about forcing them to do lots of dodging and not letting them get anywhere up the field easily. Runners can do anything you ask (aside from hitting in most cases). I don't play Skaven, but I am of the mindset that linerats are for shoving on to the important pieces while your Vermin blitz and your Runners BS around. Skaven, you just got to out BS the Dark Elves. If you can punch through part of the D, even better, less desperation tactics. Lizards are great, you have nice strong guys to punch with, and those stunty fellows as desperation as you should only need to make 3 dodges to get through an Elf screen. Orcs, you can probably punch through part of the D and hope they fail some dodges to make it easier on you - 1/6 and 1/36 is a bit rare, but it will happen.

So, if you are facing a good coach, your offensive drives are gonna be tough playing as Brets (like basically every match up with the current game).
