Neues Benutzerkonto erstellenThe suggestion to discuss dates in the topic is good because it allows spectators to join the room at the right time (provided the players want play in the open room or would provide the password).
However, I find it disturbing that there is an assumption that some players might cheat like that, i.e. don't play to get the draw. If I were to assume that there are going to be at least one such individual in the group of attending players I would not enroll at all.
New report from the game against Mr. Galharen and his Winged Hussar Host
@ FuriousD
That was just a suggestion and maybe a request simply because we planned that game with Elo for quite a long time. Due to time zone differences it didn't work out but now I am back to Europe for some time. As I mentioned I should be able to play once a week but without that challenge and if we don't meet during the tournament (I expect Elo to smash everybody 20-0 :)) then it will again be postponed for another month. It is of course not a problem of a tournament organizer but I hope our request can be accommodated.
I am happy to participate in any form of a tournament and I always do my best to oblige to the rules. As long as both players get along well and understand each other then mutual enjoyment should be the highest priority 
I agree that scenarios are great idea, I have been playing with these on every tournament I have attended since early 2012 and they add an extra dimension to the game.
Cheers!
It seems you attract very competitive players to this tournament, Elo
@ FuriousD
But challenging somebody does not mean everybody has to! In fact, if I were to challenge Elo that would be even better for you because you requested not to play against a friend so that would automatically be sorted.
@ Galharen
I am afraid that I can afford one game per week only so if you guys intend to play more often than that, please let me know. While I agree that there is not much time left before we find out what 9th edition is going to be like I don't want to slow down anybody if there is a requirement to play more often.
@ Elo
Sorry, I missed your post in the first place. Please, don't worry! As I said I was simply curious and wanted to use the chance to play against you to fulfill my promise! Your English is good enough, trust me, much better than mein Deutsch 
@ Echsenvamp
Danke! Alles klar!
I am mainly asking because I promised Elo a game and it would be a great opportunity to finally have it! I am perfectly familiar with Swiss system but whatever the organizers decide is fine by me. I will play against new players no matter what and that is great already!
Cheers!
Hello guys!
Elo was kind enough to mention the Liga for me so if you don't mind a player with rather fluffy army I would like to give it a try. As I understand there are 2 weeks to play a game in each round and there will be 3 rounds total = each player should play 3 games. ETC rules too.
How are you going to determine the pairs? Is it possible to challenge/grudge players in the first round?
Thanks!
New report from a game against Empire (2700 points)
Hi Elo!
I am glad you liked the report! It is always great to see a very good player in action Yes, PkNg is ETC team member so I am glad I could learn from him! Sure, there were some unlucky rolls but I know I could have avoided these if I have played better. But that is why I write reports, to show the mistakes and try not to make them again. And if somebody else can learn from them then it is even better!
Dice gods support those who are not making silly mistakes 
Cheers!
Hi Aem_kei!
I am glad you like the report, with all the details I wanted to add it took me way longer than usual to prepare it
With so many magic missiles and 3 wizards to channel I expected some heavy losses from magic. But I also made mistakes and despite some unlucky rolls I think they were more the consequence of the way I played rather than pure bad luck. The good thing is I can play better and avoid these in the future
Pkng is an experienced player, I hope that by "hard" you meant it in a good way, like a tough challenge but still fair play! I should also play regularly against tough armies and experienced players to be ready for such games. Hopefully I will be able to organize some soon!
Cheers!
Hi guys,
I haven't played for months, hence no new battle reports. However, I had a game by the end of February and I finally managed to write a report. I hope you will like it!

Hi Eloriel!
I have just spotted this topic and I liked what I read, very interesting (thank you Google Translator :)). I know you moved to WE in the meantime but it was good to see you had a lot of fun with DE MSU. I am sorry our game a few months ago didn't work out but since I am now in Europe for some time we might have an opportunity to play again!
I am sure that MSU experience helped you to become a better player even if you moved to the different army now. Although from what I have observed on UB your WE force is very mobile and uses maneuver warfare in a very similar fashion as a more traditional MSU force. Well done!
Cheers!
Thanks Freddy!
Here is the report from the last game. I hope you will enjoy that too!
Game 7 from CanCon 2015. This time I faced Beastmen!
Hi guys,
Game 6 of CanCon 2015 where I foolishly thought I can go aggressive against dreaded Lord Kroak and paid the price:

Hi MiRu,
In short, MSU idea is about using superior force on an isolated enemy (be it unit, character, monster etc.) to inflict enough damage in relatively short time to break and/or destroy the enemy. It uses the fact that it has many units to control the movement phase to engineer multiple charges from many directions, preferably avoiding frontal attacks, to maximize the chances of success.
Because of that I prefer to allocate units to at least two groups: assault units and support units. Assault units are those who have high strength attacks, high weapon skill and can concentrate these attacks on relatively small frontage. In my current army these are Swordmasters, Lions, Dragon Princes and combat orientated characters.
Support units have very important role of delaying enemy units, destroying its support with shooting or in combat, basically, helping your assault troops not to be interrupted in their jobs. So reavers, archers, eagles, bolt throwers, they all have a lot to do to help control movement phase.
Sometimes the roles are not so easily separated. I often use Archers in combat because they provide ranks and can break steadfast and against lightly armored foes they can kill things too. Reavers can easier get to the flanks and their S4 on the charge may help. White Lions, on the other hand, due to their stubbornness can hold enemy regiment for a while (although they are too small for an anvil here) and potentially every unit can be sacrificed so that I can surround the enemy and execute that charge from many directions.
If you have time I wrote quite long article on how I see MSU working. It is a little outdated but the main principles are still the same:

I hope that helps!
