Thoughtful video, Bjorn. I think it really does come down to know the game system, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of your current force, knowing just enough about your opponents force to not be surprised, and finally, just playing the game system as much as you can to gain that experience with it. Well done, my friend!
Thx. I've seen a lot of players get "tricked" by special rules. I used to do something like that... but now I have a bad conscience about these games. This should have been pointed out before the game. Old Warhammer times...
Great presentation, I remember my first competition game, was so proud of my Austrians and was so keen to get them into action. We were using WRG horse and musket rules. Half way through the game my Beloved Austrian’s fled from the field. What did I learn? Knowing your army is essential, as every army has strengths and weaknesses so you are on the money. For my part when I was in competitions I would during my opponent's maneuver phase (WRG corps du Armee) yes going back a while. I would go for a walk around looking at the other games in my category and take note of their units. (knowing your opposition) not the unit quality but unit types and quantity.
@@totalburnout5424 horse and musket was the category WRG 1685 - 1845 was the rule set. 2000pts was the maximum points value one could have.This is going back to the 80s I now use Shako and am currently re-basing my 15mm nepoleonic ( all 4 Armies 😫)
@@totalburnout5424 Yes it is, but my troops have been based on the Wargames Research Group (WRG) so 1 battalion was around 12-16 men/ 4 to a base. looking at it 20 years + later it just did not seem right 4 per base single row, a battalion would just be single line, 1 deep. So now they are 6/base base size 30x30 mm. it is a lot of work but I believe the visual effect will be stunning. wish me luck.
Nicely stated. As you say, "what is 'winning'?" For me personally, the result with figures matters less than the result with the other player(s).
@@OnTheGamingTable Truly spoken. Thx for watching. 🙏
Excited for part 2! Solid points here.
@@Champion_Eternal Thx. 🙏

This was brilliant. I hope you continue this series.
Thx. I already had more points, but unfortunately didn't had the time for more content. 🙏

@@stuartsimpson3696 Ah.. I hate rebasing. A lot of work with little profit. Shako is already very open about the basing, I think. Good luck. ✊🏻

@@stuartsimpson3696 I will.. 👍🏻
Just bring real weapons. Never known any 3000pt army to stand up an AK.
