The Brettionians is another army which is reaping the benefits of its new born army book. In my, oh so humble opinion, I think Brettonia is a pretty cheesy army. With 75% characters, and some funky formations, I think you'd agree with me, at least a little bit. The disadvantages of Brettonia are similiar to that of any human army. Being a human their stats are all average, exceeding in no area. The Brettonians are an all knight army. They must have at least 25% knights on all occassions. I don't really consider this any advantage or disadvantage. The knights of Brettonia are pretty decent. The Grail Knights are their big time unit. With a weapon skill of 5, strength of 4, and immunity to psychology they are a pretty good unit. A bit costly, at 45 points a piece, they still make up any Brettonian general's main force. Brettonia also has a lance formation for it's knights which gives them a monster rank bonus and allows more knights, than should be, attack. Their archers are not super at shooting, but have a wedge formation which gives them a good rank bonus and allows more archers than normal to shoot. Brettonian characters can have virtues which are a steal. A 50 point virtue which makes him immune to hostile magic, a long with a whole bunch of others that do a number of things. Special characters of the Brettonia army are amoung some of the best, if not the best. They should be check out in person. Be sure to sit down while reading the Green Knight.

If you like having lots of cavalry and characters to lead them, then Brettonia is the big pick here. Their reliance on cavalry makes them very predictable, but powerful none the less.
