WHFB - VC testing required

[Mark Wightman]

John, do you fancy a game with your VC?

1500 pts - to allow testing of Club comp lists . . .

I'm free next Monday (9th) or the one after (16th)

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Sounds good, I think my list is practically fully decided and a bit more practice with it certainly can't hurt.
(I am actually considering dropping Mannfy d**n his high points cost.)

[Mark Wightman]

I still can't decide which army to use. All I've decided is that it won't be my Woodies ;D

I've not ruled out using Vamps myself yet

Which Monday would you prefer - next week or the week after?

Manfred isn't cheap. Did you have him with the Skull Staff? What's that, 250 pts, 1/6th of your army at this level. Seems steep, for a no AS or WS model.

He's a great caster though. And anything that comes in to assassinate him is going to get flattened by your GG unit.

[John]

The 9th if that's ok, I've got nothing planned for it.

If I take him he'll be mounted with the Skull Staff (270 points >_<), which is 100 points more than a Vamp lvl2 with 2+ armour and the periapt, but having all 7 spells is d**n handy.

Thanks for the game Mark, was interesting and certainly taught me a few lessons regarding stupidity (on both sides) and regarding Vamps VS Kroxigors (don't unless you're Konrad).

[Mark Wightman]

A great game.

Learned a very useful lesson regarding stupidity - it's kind of . . . err . . . stupid.

My guy only had a 1:18 chance, thanks to his cold-blooded - so on average only once in every three games, but it still happened at the worst possible moment.

I also learned that when you cast "Portent of far" on your Sally unit in combat then you really should remember to reroll their 1's. I forgot and if I recall, my entire unit whiffed that turn (we both did).

Oops, the more I remember about that game the more worried I get about my memory of the rules
Perhaps that is why PoF is such a bad lvl 1 spell, even when it goes off no one remembers to use it.

I found out that Mannfred actually generates +1CR just by being in combat yesterday which is a nice suprise, obviously wouldn't of changed our game, he was completely flat by the time those Kroxigors were done with him he now has a mighty steed to run away from such things faster (although sadly not a more tactically astute commander).

Just about finished tuning my tourny list now, hopefully I'll get one more game in before end of June to try it out.
