Thanks a lot! I find it more difficult to...Hi Tas,<br /><br />Thanks a lot! I find it more difficult to write a good story when I lose because I need to somehow "justify" my mistakes from that point of view. But I am happy to know that it is no less entertaining!<br /><br />I think I know what you mean, even if I don't have that many sources of inspire, the two moments that had an impact on the game (among others) were exactly due to Mindthirst. Stealth plays the role too but I think it is more the matter of the adapting on tactics level rather than a requirement to change the list.<br /><br />I can imagine how painful dealing with the Bloodworms that finally explode would be!<br /><br />It is an interesting observation and I even went back and had a quick look at the reports from all the games I have played so far. Indeed, I tend to favor refused flank or tighter formation. I cannot give you the answer yet, at least not the one I believe would explain it.<br /><br />However, I think that I may often have one flank empty may be the result of having asymmetric composition. I used to play with the armies that had two of almost each element and that helped to place them in a spread formation. <br /><br />The general aim is to have the force that is flexible and can do variations of formations. From tight to spread, depending on the scenario, opposing army, terrain etc. But it seems I am not and that too might be the reason why I make more mistakes.<br /><br />Thanks for pointing that out, I will think more about it, I need to find an explanation myself!<br /><br />Cheers!Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-63920712470555472502016-06-21T08:32:42.308+10:002016-06-21T08:32:42.308+10:00Nice report.

Playing KoM/League, I run a lot of sources of inspiration, and I use a lot of shooting. My nightstalker opponent put the Crystal Pendant of Retribution on his Bloodworm Legion, and it was a total headache to deal with. I had to triple-charge it to stop it getting into my shooters, and it did something like 12-18 wounds as it died. <br /><br />I've noticed you often deploy in a very tight formation, giving the outside flanks / outside contain to your opponents. Any reason why? <br />Tas Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053833791620690678noreply@blogger.com
