So I have three boxes of Rivendell Knights with about nine painted thus far. I've used five (plus one captain) alongside a Rivendell foot-troop force led by Erestor. It was very effective giving me three out of three victories against Morannon Orcs and Wargs.

In those fights I used the bows on the knights, alongside the bows of the ground force to eliminate the warg support. (They have six) and they were all killed or dismounted by turn two. I then ignored those newly grounded orcs and continued around the flank of the orcs, by using the woodland and their superior movement range to avoid the Orcs left behind. (Kind of like a lethal version of that school yard game 'British bulldog'. The Elves got through anyway.) Meanwhile Erestor led his troops armed with spears and bows right up the middle, peppering the main horde, after the Knights were the only cavalry on the table. Of course what happened next was obvious, we clashed, elven fight value ruled the day and we only lost three elves in total as the Knights slammed into the back of them and gave me victory.

Now that was a very basic hammer and anvil strategy and I pulled it off very well, as you just read. I'm feeling a little braver now and fancy the challenge of taking a full cavalry army. My initial thoughts are to divide the army into three and send two to the separate flanks, then basically shoot, shoot....shoot some more etc before eventually closing in from all sides.

You may or may not be able to tell from that, that I've not used an all cavalry force before, only used them to support an infantry force. Is there any advice you would give me? Or any mistakes you think I'm likely to make? Thanks in advance.

What types of game modes are you playing and are you always going to be playing against the same enemy?

I'm almost always playing against evil, so mostly strength 4 heavy infantry, lightly armoured cavalry and the occasional spell-caster.

I realize it's quite a strange list to use, but I'd love to use it at tournements. Though I realize in some scenario's it gives me an advantage, yet in others it will be a problem.
