beef: I contend that the advantage it would have given me is far less than the advantage he would have had if I was forced to use the reserves rules vs his already fully dployed army. The advantage of me using the "Pick and Choose" reserves method though is definately not to be scoffed at. Come turn 3 when he gets his termis nice and close I move on with a Demolisher that was previously invulnerable because it's been sitting off table. The ONLY disadvantage to reserves is the fact that you don't know what turn your units will arrive. Once that gamble has been taken out of the mix Reserves actually becomes pretty powerfull. Being able to deploy, move, and/or fire in one turn after your opponent has already commited is rad to the max to put it another way.

So I don't begrudge him, and I hope he doesn't think poorly of me.

It should be done like the old days, your Hq v mine, whoever wins, wins the game. forget 40k in 49min this is 40K in 4 min

it is a points based game rather it be 1500 or 1850. the legality of the list is all that maters, as anybody can tweek a list at whatever points values you use

 

 

in fact of point a guard amry can have more heavy weapons than a more "elite" force like marines at a lower points level. making guard actually more effective.

yes some armies fare better at various points and variious board sizes. 4x4 is the best size for my wolves,

Hey beef we should play each other. I'm like you. I let people get away with murder. Next time you're near Canada drop by.

I will bare that in mind, thanks for the offer. Next time your in london give me a shout, maybe we can get a 10000 point mega game in with alot of proxy , unpainted or based models and make some of the rules up as we go.
