I play by the rules, but if someone says I have to destroy my whole squad because they can't fit within 2" of the transport's doors; well it just seems mad.

Not the whole squad. Just the ones who can't get out. Remember too there's an 'emergency disembarkation' rule, so if he only has the door blocked you can get out anywhere from the hull 2", and just do nothing for the remainder of the PLAYER turn (useful if he wrecks it on say, his turn. you can't do anything then anyway).

Played a game against local TFG, was doing so-so, but I noticed he had fielded a LOT on the board. Like, his Marines had basically outnumbered my poor boyz. When I asked to see his list, he was overly-defensive, so rather than call him out on it, I just rolled with it.

A little rolling here and there, and the end of the game saw me with a mob of 7 Boyz,1 DeffKopta, my Warboss and 2 Nobz. Nothing left on his side. Calculated his list and found he was 750 points over.

like measuring movement from the frontmost model in a unit, then putting the rest of the models ahead of him, thus adding 3-4" to the move. Mostly its very well hidden because they try to make it look like an honest mistake or carelessness.

Dear God this. I have a "friend" (not really liked by anyone) who does this constantly. In a team game we had once, I deepstruck my Flamers (Daemons) behind two of his tanks, hit and immobilized both. The way his guardsmen were set up, he could MAYBE get 10 in. But, magically, after his 6" move, he had 50 guardsmen in range. The best part? After my unit was decimated, when he moved BACK on his turn, he was about 3" further than he was before his first magical 6" move. When called on it, he simply ignores it.

And then when I asked if I get a cover save from a shot damn near across the table(with a decent amount of terrain on it, plenty to shoot through), he simply said "No." without checking, and then got incredibly angry when I asked a third party to check. I ended up not getting the cover save (which is fine), but his attitude made the game no fun at all.

Needless to say, I don't play against/with him anymore.

btw metallifan what age whas that tfg?

**pom134**

I was playing SW with Eldar. Ld 8 Grey hunters peaced out after shooting, ended up about 4" away from a wave serpent so there were just going to get escorted off the board. I walk away to check on another game. Come back and my opponent moved the wave serpent while I was gone.

My opponent? THE MANAGER OF THE GW STORE.

His store is closing and his job is being terminated. He deserves it and I actually get satisfaction out of the fact that he will soon be jobless and hopeless.

TFGs are the main reason I bring my Rulebook if I'm gaming away from home. When I catch a cheater though, I make the assumption that it was a geniune lack of understanding, find the offended rule, and show it to them, explaining how it works if need be. Most of the time I only do this once in a game and TFG will no longer try cheating, and play a straight game. Those that continue their behavior I show mercy to two more times. After that, I inform one of the clerks when they come down to the bunker to check on the games and they usually tell the guy to shape up or forget about using their bunker.

My worst experience was with a Chaos player 2 years ago. He kept insisting that his Predator could tankshock -through- buildings. No matter how I tried to say no, he kept insisting that it was a rule for Chaos tanks. I finally agreed to let him TS through non-fortified buildings if he agreed to let me do the same. He rudely replied with "Are they Chaos tanks? No? Then no they can't. Sucks to be you." And that was it. I'd had it.

I grabbed him by his shirt collar and explained, in a calm but intimidating way, that I was very good friends with the owner and that I could easily make sure he never set foot inside the store again. I let him go, and he stares at me for a couple seconds. Then, he starts packing up his stuff in silence. He heads to the stairs, pauses at the top, and says "I won, douchebag". Whatever. Not by any count I knew of. I shrug it off and pack up my stuff. Soon as I come through the doorway, a 4th ed rulebook in Hardcover whips towards me and smokes me in the right shoulder. The kid bolts for the door, but snags one of his case's straps on a nearby hook. He makes the mistake of stopping to untangle it, and one of the Clerks grabs him by the arm, hauls him over to the counter, and tells him to either give them a valid home phone number, or they're calling the cops. So they end up calling his mum, and ask me if I still want them to contact the cops, to which I laughed. I explained that beating his army senseless to the point of his ragequit, then waiting for his mum to arrive, was more than reward enough for me.

Never did see that kid again, but I think it might have been because his mum must've skinned him when they got home. She was about 50 different shades of pissed off when she walked into the store.

This whole story of "bad guy get his come-uppance" is ruined by the fact you grabbed him when you had no right, and honestly makes you sound like a bigger douche than him.

I grabbed him by his collar. It's not like I hit the kid. And he was (I'm guessing) about 16 or 17. I was 18 at the time. So it's not like I was scaring the crap out of some 12 year old child.

Obvious troll is obvious. Thanks for playing though.

**Terminus**

You still come off as a douche by getting physical and in his face, and pulling the "I'm friends with the store owner, I can get you banned nyah nyah!" card. Kid was a jackass, but you were a bully.

What matters is that there were about 5 times during this game when I wanted to throw my hands up and scream, "DUDE! F*** this game and F*** you, you're not even worth the effort of a game."

And I didn't. I gutted through and finished the game, despite its incredible un-fun, and despite him cheating, and still beat his face in. Beating face in is nothing special in itself; beating a cheater's face in, especially with style is worth a story.

So who's got 'em!

Well, not to split hairs, but from the sound of it it wasn't so much that you beat him, as the Karma Dice Gods did.

**cosmic pixie**

Mettalifan, the line about the store owner was probably not as bad in the real world but t just makes you sound like the kid that screams at you that he will get you arrested for knocking into him in a corridor.

Anyway, I was playing TFG with my DHs and he had a problem with my fast attack GKs Deep striking so he claimed that his necrons could all deepstrike and, after 20mins of rule searching he said that he could just do it.

I was bored by then and so I decided to let it be as I had a bunch of no saves weaponry that culd kill him at 36inches.

We were paying a pretty bust cities of death board and he decided to deepstrike into the massive building next to dangerous terrain and the edge of the board. Half of his army arrived the next turn and, guess what? INSTANT PHASE OUT

I frakin' loved that game, I killed his c'tan with just my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.

Did he mishap off the board?

**Gorskar.da.Lost**

Well, there is this one guy at our store. He's alright as a person, but by God does he cheat. I mean, seriously, nobody should take winning that seriously. However, Karma has it's eye on him, judging by his recent performance.

Basically, one of my friends played him with a Death Guard army, and found that not only was the TFG around 500pts over (on a CSM list, no less) but he was also fiddling the movement of his models so that his "6 inch" assault move got him into combat with units that were, on average, 8+ inches away. However, my friend pulled through and, despite heavy losses, won the game. Just goes to show that cheating doesn't win games. The only problem with this scenario is now the TFG is complaining about the sportsmanship of my friend, claiming him to be a "rules nazi." I mean, seriously.

**cosmic pixie**

Dashofpepper, TFG's necrons went straigt off the table or landed in dangerous terrain and took a whole lot of hits. Then I deepstriked right on the building that he tried to get.
