In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him here as (518) 303-6207 or dr.abalaka@outlook.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something<br />more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884716674102378071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767702148160126356.post-58265187322369259122016-04-29T13:05:53.512-07:002016-04-29T13:05:53.512-07:00Hi all ...

Perhaps a post/article on actual playstyle(s) would be in order or at least a review of some categorical styles: Hammer/Anvil, The Avoidance Dance, Shoot you First ... or other variations on cute names ... in that way when playstyles are referenced we can have a more easily understandable conversation because we will be speaking the same language. P.S. Nice job on the website and especially on the YouTube channel. I know a thing or two about community (wargame) organization and since 'coming out of wargames retirement' its nice to see things being so well done :-) Keep up the good work and maybe I'll see you guys at a GT one day!<br /><br />All My Best!<br />JannerJanner Hollidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078261498914038078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767702148160126356.post-76243968501989955622016-02-04T03:14:30.987-08:002016-02-04T03:14:30.987-08:00I definitely did not use 1 and 2 twice on purpose....I definitely did not use 1 and 2 twice on purpose.

At this point...I look forward to your videos then. At this point, I think I've selected what armies I'm going to try to work up. I considered The Herd, but there are two to three people playing it locally and, well, see my previous comment about wanting to play armies that are not being played as much which applies somewhat even when they aren't spammy netlist armies. Anyway, here is the lineup, I'm currently working on:<br /><br />Elves: I didn't really select this army so much as it was the only remaining army I had from my WFB days back around 2000. I could convert it quickly to KoW play. The biggest turn off for me with elves is that it seems to be one of the 'in' armies with lots of flyer-shooty list goodness that seems to be so much in vogue right now. So what I'm trying to do is emphasize the units that aren't so much in those lists. I admit I have a Lord on Dragon, but that's because I had one and it looks cool. The units, I'm trying to utilize are chariots, Sea Guard, Gladestalkers, and Dragon Breath warmachines. I also like Palace Guard (because I had a bunch of former White Lions).<br /><br />My other army picks are all voluntary. The first time I picked up a KoW rulebook was because the store employee told me all about how this game actually had a halfling army. I was curious how they had worked that out. Then we got to talking about the importance of maneuver and the fact that you don't have to try to figure out how to fit ranked models and then remove them one-by-one. That wasn't really what sold me on the League of Rhordia though. What sold me was the fluff. I actually LIKE these guys and their values which is unusual for the normal twisted background gamemakers create for their armies. Add to that that no one around here seems to play them and they have one of the lowest topic counts on the Mantic forum and I got interested. I've still got a lot of questions about how to use them and how to mix them and what the devil you do with light cavalry that is neither fast nor particularly durable, but I hope to work it out.<br /><br />And I decided to play Forces of Nature. I like druids or at least the idea of druids; I have since I first read Elfstones of Shannara. There also seemed to be a lot of flexibility in the list to customize troops to fit what you want to do, plus they have pathfinder which seemed really kind of useful. Unlike The Herd where a sizable number of units don't have pathfinder, all or almost all the FoN does. And (you'll notice the theme here) no one around here seems to play that army. I am also intrigued by some of the options I have to model this army.<br /><br />Some day, assuming I stick with this game, I want to develop an army from the evil side of things. I (think I) like the idea of having armies that play differently from one another as well. My elves tend to be fast and less numerous. Rhordia is NOT fast at all, but probably more numerous. Nature is more vague but would seem to reward offensive play more than defensive. I'm thinking I want my evil army to be more elite, forcing a style that has few units, where all of them matter. Anyway, none of this really seems oriented to preferred play style. I obviously have my reasons for my choices, and to some extent I know them, just not that one because I don't really perceive a preferred style.<br /><br />Anyway, if you'd like to continue this conversation off your comment thread, I'm game for that.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11779446895154364902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767702148160126356.post-4764568306489586972016-02-03T09:05:31.442-08:002016-02-03T09:05:31.442-08:00You make an excellent point on pitching to beginne...You make an excellent point on pitching to beginners to pick a play style. I would suggest The Herd for you based on your preferred style of tactics as an opinion. As far as what you consider cool looking minis, that's much harder. I think most people draw interest from the models and if they're torn they don't know which direction to take. You may be able to narrow it down to maybe 2-3 armies though? They may like one but have a great fear it isn't competitive enough. I want to debunk that idea...then reinforce it with one that any army can be competitive if you play with excitement about certain tactical goals.<br /><br />What the videos will do after this is take a look at each KoW faction and start to talk about what a player can do tactically within the scope of these divisions. So I would suggest a new player watch the videos for the army they like and HOPE it helps from there. They might be able to draw the lines from there.<br /><br />I would think this is more for people familiar with wargaming but new to Kings of War.

For example, a chariot seems to be both a harassment type unit and a flexible cavalry type unit. I'm not sure this is not by design though; when you parse the units into that many divisions, you'll get overlap.<br /><br />You actually ended with what I always struggle with the most - what is my preferred play style. I don't think you can pitch something as being for beginners and expect them to know what their preferred playstyle is. I've been playing mini games on and off for 20 years and I still can't tell you mine. I like well-painted cool looking minis. I don't like units getting wiped out. I like maneuver. I like sneaky tactics, and seeing them work as planned. I like thinking strategically about the objectives, scenario, placement and terrain. I hate spammy and netlists. I like playing armies that seem to be out of favor by people who like spammy netlists. But that doesn't really tell me my preferred play style, or at least I don't think it does. I find that I end up picking an army and then trying to figure out how it plays best. Anyway, you might want to start your discussion by talking about how one decides what army to pick or identifies a preferred play style.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11779446895154364902noreply@blogger.com
