The game was seize ground with pitched battle deployment and a few catches. First, terrain features were nominated as objectives. Second, as the defender (the Imperial side having lost last week), I had to deploy my entire army first and then the attacker got to decide if he wanted first or second turn.  Read more...

Recognizing a Lost Cause

Posted on June 7, 2011 10:34 am by Thor

Lost CauseA game of 40K, or any game really, is often a back and forth struggle. One moment you gain an advantage and the next you’ve lost it and are on the defensive. A lot of hard decisions need to made and one of the decisions I see people struggle with, or even fail to recognize, is when a cause is lost and no longer worth pursuing.  Read more...

40K Zombies: A Rant

Posted on July 23, 2010 09:28 am by Thor

40K ZombieI have a few pet peeves (a few is putting it lightly), but foremost amongst those is the unthinking person. This applies to anything but I’m applying it to 40K today. The zombie is the type of person who reads things and takes it all at face value, never challenging the advice or truly understanding it.

In general, they are unthinking individuals who play the game as a set of instructions and not as a game that tests the skill of two opponents.  Read more...
