They don't have Space Marine or Terminator training in the US Army ?(yet) ... or any other army for that matter ! :laugh: ?An SF A Team is as close as you can get to Terminators ! ?:laugh: ? And it is true you learn more from losing than winning ... unless you're in an Arab Army and then you just learn to die ! }:) ?Seriously, the US Army always did (and does) AARs, After Action Reports, to evaluate what was done wrong or right and how to get better at specific tasks. ?We did the same thing as we cleaned up after an Epic game. ?And would discuss it throughout the week, until the next game. ?:)

Hi!

I sometimes found the post game discussion even more entertaining  than the actual game, then again I talk a little too much... :)

Lessons learned in one game could be used in the following games, or not ... at the player's own peril ... ?:laugh:

Hi!

The essence of all games is the social interaction, I think thats why I find the discussion part of it so entertaining. On occasions I have found myself showing up for some games only to just spend the evening talking about gaming instead of doing it. It was still fun though...

I know what you mean.  It's fun to just observe someone else's folly ! }:)

Hi!

:D  True, there is a latent vicarious component to satisfy as well.

"The objective of a wargame is not victory but the total destruction of your opponent..."  :p  :p

And I think I should contact the guy who does the line up & charge thing. It seems he's at about the same level of tactical skill as I am.  :blush:

Charging is a tad complex for him... lining up and shooting without moving, even when some of your units are out of sight is his level. I had small squad that spent the game hidden behind a hill, half his army was lined up waiting for it to move whilst my entire army was rolling up his flank...

I think he was inspired by the Prince of Orange from Napolionics perhaps...

Hi!

I find that a lot of "average" gamers don't really grasp tactics very well, even in games where tactics are either very simple or fairly obvious (GW games). I think that it may be due to the "save and re-load" mentality of computer games, where if you screw up, you get another knock at it. Of course this depends where you find your opponents. I find people with backgrounds in historical gaming to be very good opponents, but thats just my experience.

I'm pretty much with you Primarch, many G/W gamers are just interested in "bright, shiny things" ...  :laugh:

Hi!

Everyone likes eye candy, I'm no exception, but after the "bright and shiny" aspect fades away, you need a actual game thats worth playing to justify all those bright and shiny models.... :;):
