Swords & Bows (No Guns or Lasers)
Well met!
4 players, 500 pts apiece, 2 teams. My team is (self)restricted to Samurai, Knights, Romans, Kyrie, Elves, Dragons. I have Annerios' Custom Elric. Each of our opponents has an unknown Custom (hopefully not gamebreakers!). Our opponents play everything else. Suggestions sought to deal with possible enemies (Krag Maga, Q9, Cyprien, etc.) Considering the following: My army: Elric 130 2 x Knights 140 Mimring 150 Thorgrim 80 Teammate's army (he likes Samurai): Kozuke 100 2 x Tag Archers 130 Tag Samurai 120 Syvarris 100 Tarn Vikings 50 or Kaemon Awa 120 Kozuke 100 Syvarris 100 Theracus 40 Izumi 60 Raelin 80 or 2 x Tag Archers 130 Izumi 60 2 x Roman Archers 110 Tag Samurai 120 Raelin 80 or various combinations of the above with Concan, Sentinals, and even Templars. I plan to bring a few different lists for my teammate's army, and determine which to play depending on the terrain and (if I can get away with it) my opponents' army. Game is Wed. 8/6. Suggestions? |

Re: Swords & Bows (No Guns or Lasers)
Do you have any idea what sort of customs you'll be playing against? Or what sort of maps you'll be on? It's hard to make competent suggestions with so many unknowns.

Could you post Elric's card so we have a better idea of what's going on?

Re: Swords & Bows (No Guns or Lasers)
Here is Elric's card:
Mimring seemse kind of out of place in your army. If you're worried about range you're probably better of using Syvarris (if you're teammate doesn't end up using him) and Marro Warriors or something like that (unless you think you'll be facing an army that relies on bunching it's units together, in which case Mimiring would be really affective).

Oh, by the way, I did mention that I was bringing a few lists to choose between depending on the terrain and my opponents' armies. For the sake of brevity, let's limit the number of lists to 4. So, 4 armies to deal with whatever might arise . . . .

Re: Swords & Bows (No Guns or Lasers)
Well met!
As often happens, I imagine, being forced to make the nature of the exercise clear to you has made it clearer to me (I think). I most fear range. Thus my plan now is for us to maneuver for terrain advantage while dealing with obstacles by rushing those pesky ranged units with simultaneous waves of tough guys in pairs of squads (Knights/Samurai, with Thorgrim & Elric) with the most flexible ranged units possible. Thus: My Army: My team as originally constituted: Elric 130 Thorgrim 80 2 x Knights of Weston Mimring 150 my teammate's team, as follows: Izumi Samurai 60 Raelin 80 2 x Roman Archers 110 Kozuke Samurai 100 Syvarris 100 Tarn Viking Warriors 50 I'm so proud! (Feel free to enlighten me concerning the flaws of my plan.) David |
