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

The sword is a weapon for killing . . .
. . . the art of the sword . .
. . . .is the art of killing . .
No matter what fancy word
. . . . . you use . . .
. . . or what titles . . .
. .you put to it . . .
. that is the only truth . .

the spire of angels

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.
