Thanks for your comment!
I am very luck...Hi Lien,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />I am very lucky that there are quite a number of players I can play locally that have more than one army too. In addition, I play online sometimes and in general, I noticed that there is not really one army that is more popular than the rest. At least among the players I have the opportunity to play against. Even if it happens that I play against the armies from the same faction they tend to be distinctively different in their composition.<br /><br />I really hope I do learn from my mistakes :) <br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-45906269971424590632018-01-22T21:09:03.661+11:002018-01-22T21:09:03.661+11:00Interesting to see that you keep fighting differen...Interesting to see that you keep fighting different armies and playstyles.

I can't recall the exact rolls now but it is obvious that a few more damage points would have been scored. Ah well, shows that I should better check the characteristics of the units, especially those that I haven't played against for a while.<br /><br />Cheers!Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-80656720187609002612018-01-22T15:05:24.762+11:002018-01-22T15:05:24.762+11:00Hi Dan!

I greatly appreciate that you take time to provide your feedback on the reports and blog posts. They are very helpful and motivate me even more to keep posting!<br /><br />It is an interesting question about the army lists. Interestingly, when I thought about it (also about what armies are more popular) I found that I don't quite play against the similar force twice. <br /><br />On the other hand, each army and each scenario provide a set of challenges that I'd rather avoid labeling them as more or less demanding. What I did notice, however, is that if my opponent is passive or undecided as to what to do and how to proceed, then I have more opportunities to engineer these multi-charges I need to win in melee. <br /><br />It is true that if the Golems parked in my half I would have had a big problem (literally!). It takes some more maneuvering to be able to find the cracks in such tough formations, also in the context of the scenario where a single horde has to be countered by 2-3 of my own units, sometimes merely to contest the zone.<br /><br />I was disappointed a bit with my focus on routing the enemies rather than sticking to scenario. I have an impression that more often than not I do the opposite, i.e. play for the scenario conditions first. It was a good reminder, however, that I should try to avoid that tunnel vision and resist the temptation to go for the kill.<br /><br />I am very happy about the opportunities to play often. It is even more important for me this year because we have just lost one of the local stores. So showing up in the existing one also helps to keep it running. And let's admit it, who would not want to play more often anyway? :)<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you don't have that many opportunities to play at the moment. I hope it is going to change somehow and in the meantime I will do my best to provide as many reports as possible! I have one in the pipeline (very interesting game, not only thanks to the outcome and the battle development) but I think this one will be published in a week or so. I would like to add some more painting time this week before Australian Clash of Kings 2018 that takes place this weekend. It means 7 games over two days! :)<br /><br />Cheers!Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-75683447136957537032018-01-22T14:45:11.822+11:002018-01-22T14:45:11.822+11:00Just a note that halfbreeds are only Defense 4, so...Just a note that halfbreeds are only Defense 4, so your drakons should have wounded on 3+ and your SW cav should have wounded on 4+.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-62265665129485036152018-01-22T13:27:11.509+11:002018-01-22T13:27:11.509+11:00Great game Swordmaster!
When I was running a simi...Great game Swordmaster!<br /><br />When I was running a similar list to yours, I found control to be one of the more difficult scenarios as well as dominate because it can be tough to have your units stick around (elves are fragile!). It is an uphill battle when the opponent has hordes that offer unit strength 3. <br /><br />That said, I think you had a great game plan and probably could have snuck a win if you would have moved units in a more “scenario focus” a turn or two earlier. <br /><br />Is this type of list (high defense) the type you struggle with the most? I found it difficult with elves to crack def 6+ reliably. Bloodboil helped me late game if I needed one last push to take out a unit. The addition of alchemist curse should help as well but I’m not sure how to fit it in my current TK list at the moment and my herd list is fairly decent at armor cracking. <br /><br />It seems like you have been able to get a decent amount of games recently which is great! I got six games in at a tournament 2 weeks ago and managed to finish 9th out of 56 and win best sports in the process with my brand new herd list! Sadly I only really have time to play in tournaments and we are in a tournament drought in the US currently. I will try to make it to lone wolf though which should be a huge event!<br /><br />Thanks again for all the reports; they help immensely since I don’t have as much time to play as I’d like!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880233343826942633noreply@blogger.com
