... It is also not necessarily a good thing if the range of time taken to compete games varies significantly. If enough time is given for most games to...
How true. I finish most of my games well within the time limit - at Anderida recently two games (wins) lasted about an hour and a half each and one (defeat)...
Sometimes I like to play with a cudgel like Medieval French. Short, brutal and to the point. Sometimes I like Scythians (w/ 4th command of Cimmerians). That's...
... come to blows when we'd finished. Ahh, reminds me of one of my favourite umpiring stories. I was playing with Slave Revolt in a doubles comp and we were up...
Good point. Until you have participated in a comp you would likely never think of that. You have to be aware that just because you have completed your round,...
In our club league, I was playing someone who was new to DBM 3.1 (though an experienced DBR and DBM 3.0 player), and I am a slow player anyway. We were taking...
... "This is looking good - I'll press home immediately" "This doesn't look good, oh well, if I pile in and hope for the best I might get lucky" Actually not a...
We were using Golden Horde, with a mix of Cv, LH(S), LH(O), Bw and 4 Wb(F). Not a "cudgel" army! One game did go the distance - against Uighurs who had many...
It saves a lot of time! My favourite example was against Iain McNeil, who was World Champion at the time; after a couple of bounds it was obvious that he was...
... Well, there are always alternatives. I too have had Kn(F) generals fall off their perch at impact, but then I also had a Kn(F) general who, after the...
... My approach against Simon Hall, except I lost... Close though. Aggressive play often throws the better players, they don't expect it, they are used to...
Hi Kevin, In UK DBM competitions at present players tend to be allowed to chose from all 4 DBM books and 3 DBMM books (so often a choice of 2 lists for many...
Kevin, The norm for NASAMW tournaments is to use both the DBM lists 1-4 (2nd edition) and the DBMM lists. Allied contingents must come from the same source...
An alternative is the format used on the first day at Rampage. Wherein players finishing early are immediately paired with others who finish early. So fast...
Like it. Lets assume that we are not all as nimble and light on our feet as Graham, so lets work on 4 games being the max in 1 day. You could in theory lose 4...
I agree with Graham, the Rampage "all you can eat" on the 1st day encouraged going for a result. Indeed if you found yourself in a game with no realistic...
... Stepping up the level of randomness is a good way to neutralise skill. Unfortunately, it seems more common for the weaker player to try something bizarre...
Yep, too bad. Callan & the Enforcer. But I think I liked best his performance as Breaker Morant........ JC PS Didn't Callan play with toy soldiers like the...
Tend to agree - had a choice at Britcon (MM) of an army that would be difficult to break, because during a long tournament it's better to not lose badly, but...
