Hey all,

I just found out that the best way to learn is to play lots of games and learn from your mistakes

Instead of cyber learning and posting stuff and hoping that the best list would come to you

Is that right?

**Cannerus_The_Unbearable**

You never know til you hit the tabletop. A lot of cyber lists are designed with a vacuum in mind, but if you happen to live in an area with an abundance of a certain army compared to where somebody else lives it changes things up quite a bit.

**Unholy_Martyr**

Yeah Tony, you just about summed it up right there.

Internet Army Lists are just like Internet porn tailored in such a way as to make them seem unbelievably awesome and something you'll never want to go without again.

Fact of the matter is, in the real world, most of what you see will never happen, and if it does, it is rarely as it is described and or prescribed. Only way to learn is to actually try it...can't hurt right?

Agree with everything except this, buying new stuff definitely hurts my wallet!

**lixulana**

well when your trying stuff with your friends proxy :-)

having the actual models only matters in tournaments.

And in store, my store boss doesn't like proxies

Try Russian Roulette.

But it probably won't hurt long.

I have seen far too many intelligent posts on dakka today. Stop adding to the intelligence!! (Not sarcasm, I believe in this as well, though to a seemingly lesser extent than you.)
