It doesn't matter whether someone else acknowledges your win or not. Unless you're so lacking in self-confidence that you need someone else to verify your victory for you? Which would be a you problem, not a them problem.

You won in your head because you don't give them the 10VP, they won in their head because they do. Everybody's happy...unless you can't be happy unless you force the other player to play by your version of the rules. Which is hugely ironic in the context of the thread.


Again, the world doesn't work that way. Self confidence has nothing to do with it, and you absolutely know it.

You don't 'win in your head'. You win on the table. If you're going to just 'win in your head', just don't bother playing, why would you need to?

No, everybody isn't happy. Your high horse scenario very rarely plays out in the real world the way you think it does.

And yeah...forced. Because people are going to force people do to it. Rather than say that they'll only play against people who don't use it, just like people used to say they'd only play against painted armies.


You're talking about this ridiculous game like it's pistols at dawn. Tying enjoyment strictly to winning in this sales based rule structure is a path to madness

Table says you scored 5VP more than the opponent at the end of it all. Opponent says ACKSHUALLY they won because their army was painted. Do you really need their validation? Or the rulebook's? For a toy soldier game?

The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.
