Sounds like you are having fun.

My good lady went through much the same pains when learning - it wasn't until we played on the same side against two other players that the lessons really sank in.

Together, we slaughtered them - without exchanging a word, and spending about half as long on the chess clock as the other side. It was beautiful. Dwarfs & Dwarfs vs. Twilight Kin Elves & Orcs. (This was first edition - the Abyss tainted Twilight Kin are going to make a comeback, but nobody knows when.)

And the temporary list is up!

E-mailing the list to Jon & Julie. The orcs and the Twilight Kin shall soon face the wrath of the dwarven Hammer & Anvil!

Heh - I was lucky, most of my group switched over after WHFB8 came out.

Playing the game also does a lot to kill objections. Most of them had played KoW with me before 8 came out, for the, at that time, Kings of War meant another game where they could use the same armies.

And, at first, it was a way of getting in a game when the time was too short for a Warhammer game.

Warhammer 8... killed of the interest in Warhammer, leaving Kings of War as the clear victor.
