The Wall and Flanking Units

THE SHORT VERSION

A large Uruk-hai formation can grind through an enemy through armour, strength or the advantages of pikes, but its flanks need protection. Smaller neighbouring formations guard those vulnerable sides and add charges when the timing is right. Adam emphasises priority in the Charge phase: sometimes holding close rather than charging immediately lets the supporting force respond properly, while the central infantry is tough enough to receive the enemy attack.
