It seems most people think the best thing to do is pick crews and schemes outside of your comfort zone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936992210201060191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896483057720869915.post-89580088516525778802014-11-18T11:49:02.003-08:002014-11-18T11:49:02.003-08:00It's not such a bad problem to have.

Differences in experience do exist, but the swiss system means that most players will get a few games in against roughly equally skilled opponents. If you're talking of games in a casual setting, my approach is to deliberate do something outside my comfort zone (e.g. selecting a different crew to my normal preference, taking tricky schemes etc) to hopefully handicap myself just the right amount to let me play the game as well as I can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896483057720869915.post-62690623023176574672014-11-18T04:56:59.710-08:002014-11-18T04:56:59.710-08:00True.

This really forced me out of my comfort zone and made me step up my game. It helped that it was practice for a tournament for Nate and I used combos of things I normally wouldn't use in order to try and out play him.<br /><br />It all came down to a pair of failed lures from a Belle that made the difference between a win for me, and a loss...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869476289201056987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896483057720869915.post-58733594711172279292014-11-18T02:32:17.161-08:002014-11-18T02:32:17.161-08:00It's fair, though I'm not sure 'what d...It's fair, though I'm not sure 'what do you want to play' system works aswell as you might think. 99% will just say 'whatever' IMO and this could be because they have no idea what to chose from, or what that would even mean. New crews and odd schemes I think are the way forward.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936992210201060191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896483057720869915.post-77894374877109698422014-11-18T02:20:57.679-08:002014-11-18T02:20:57.679-08:00I'm not offended at all, I know what you mean....I'm not offended at all, I know what you mean.<br /><br />Although I've not beaten you I've come darned close to it a number of times and once or twice it was merely a bad flip that meant it was a draw or loss for me rather than that still elusive victory.<br /><br />That said, I really don't mind that I haven't yet beat you. For me, the playing of the game, the social aspect of it, having fun and doing crazy stuff that either works or backfires and leaves you in a stupid situation is far more important than winning or losing. I've gone so far as to saying to newer players they can choose my faction, and where possible master if they want so that I am caught on the hop, so to speak. I have at least one master for each faction, and enough models than I can produce a pretty varied crew for my opponents to face. But woe betide if they say Ressurectionists and Seamus or McMourning...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869476289201056987noreply@blogger.com
