It is a good idea to try and look at the game from the point of view of your opponent. Given time I would love to play 2 games in a row with an army swap! That would be great lesson for sure.<br /><br />I am happy with how the game worked out although I felt bad that the first game my friend was playing after long break was so painful for him. He has a new army book now and I am sure with new toys it would be totally different story!<br /><br />Cheers!Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-864015966341828362015-02-18T02:59:01.629+11:002015-02-18T02:59:01.629+11:00Great match Swordmaster!
I tried to look at this ...Great match Swordmaster!<br /><br />I tried to look at this match and see how I would go about it from your opponents perspective. As you said, he was at an advantage in shooting so perhaps he could have held back his combat troops and given his shooting more time. His shooting probably should go against lightly armored combat troops and reavers initially. He could then try to set up a war dancer/Dragon Princes combat. War dancers have killing blow I believe which could help against tough DP armour. Then try to get the other unit of DP into a combat with treekin. He lacked many anti armor options and you had a greater threat range with your DP so him finding a way to get a favorable matchup against them should be key in his battle plan. <br /><br />He gave up his eagle early for no real gain other than target saturation which really didn't work since the treeman was removed that same turn as well! You played well, tough to criticize anything you did. Letting your opponent have a shot at the archmage was really the only big one that I'd avoid if possible since that's a 355VP swing in one fell swoop. <br /><br />But other than hold back/maneuver to get more shots at your light armored infantry and try to contain the dragon princes with the pieces that I had (if I were your opponent), I'm not sure how I would have played differently. You had a very solid plan and deployment and executed well which will always be a tall task for any of your opponents. <br /><br />Thanks SM!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880233343826942633noreply@blogger.com
