Default Re: How do you play Niefel theme?

I just won my first game with Niefelheim and I think the winning strategy was the way I used cannon fodder to buffer my giants. I set up the Big Guys behind a wall of expendable units, including whatever locally-recruited units I had available. I set the giants to Hold and Attack so that the cheap units took the worst of the enemy rush on the chin, and then the giants came in to clean up.

It helped a LOT with lance-wielding units, plus the combo of smaller units with the larger ones allowed my guys to better surround enemies and thus receive the bonus for consecutive attacks in a turn.

I also used a lot of summoned creatures and think I probably should have used even more. Ice Drakes proved especially effective since my "real" troops (the Jotuns and kin) weren't bothered by any stray drake-breath drifting around.
