The Art of the Flanking Maneuvre

No I'm not talking about outflank, but running your units up the side of the board. Often times this is preferable to running up the middle, simply because half the units will be fighting you. And if you made your board right, you'll be in cover the whole way there >:D

The most important thing is to do this only when the map allows this. Meaning, if there is suitable cover to keep your men in cover until they are bashing in some heads. DON'T do this, if your opponent has planned accordingly, meaning there are enough models there to stop you.

Followup cover. At some point your models, hopefully anyway, will be on the other side of the table, make sure there is cover there as well, you never want to be out in the open! imagine if the deathstar just had a 4+ invulnerable save, there's a 50% chance we'd be watching star wars episode 4, No Hope.

Very lastly, fight what your deathstar is good at fighting, if its good at fighting everything, first kill what can kill it, or if the game is already far along, kill what can lose you the game, meaning anything that can kill your troops.
