In the first article I wrote about my thought process when approaching Objective Marker based games. This time I’m going to be discussing scenarios with Loot Counters in play (Push & Loot for example). You only need one more than your opponent One of the main points that I was drilling in is that you … Continue reading Winning the game! (On Objectives) Part 2

How to win the game! (on scenario) Part 1
At any given point in the game you should be able to answer two questions – how are you going to win the game and how is your opponent going to win the game. “Killing them all” isn’t a valid answer!

Here’s what I ran at Lonewolf 2017 and a recent Black Dragon tournament: I achieved 9th out of 88 in battle at Lonewolf and 1st out of 14 at the … Continue reading My Abyssal Dwarf tactics
Mathhammer: Foundation dice arithmetic

Sometimes you may do this via pure experience (though that can be muddied with confirmation bias of course), and sometimes you may do it via maths. In Kings of War, … Continue reading Mathhammer: Foundation dice arithmetic
