While pursuing the objective, do your tactics stink?

Gear Pilot28 Jul 2018 1:13 p.m. PST

I attack when I am supposed to defend. Is that bad?

I am possibly the worst tactician in tabletop wargaming history…

raylev328 Jul 2018 2:21 p.m. PST

only when I lose….when I win, my tactics are great.

vicmagpa128 Jul 2018 3:12 p.m. PST

it all depends on my dice rolling.

Definitely not an Alexander of the tabletop. Probably more like Grant even if I don't have the resources of Grant. I try to make my opponent react to me and if they beat me (which they usually do) it's because my offensives failed. I try to make my games as quick and bloody as possible. If I was a real general, my troops would probably call me the Butcher.

I have had opponents tell me I did everything perfect, and have still had the stuffing knocked out of my forces. Other times completely missed the mark on tactics and had the stuffing knocked out of my forces. So dice seem to be more a factor than tactics. I lose far more then I win.

Probably but luckily I am my only opponent

What are these "tactics" of which you speak?

Winston Smith28 Jul 2018 6:40 p.m. PST

Yes.

I think you need a plan to have tactics, so that usually leaves me out.

As noted … If I win … my TTP were good …

If not … well than not so much … evil grin

My tactics are brilliant, it's those @$&^%$#ing dice that lose the battle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

What are tactics?

Narratio29 Jul 2018 8:18 p.m. PST

Tactics…. tactics…

Ahh yes, "Ah, well… who wants to live forever? DIVE!" or possibly – "Open fire! All weapons, now! Charge the lightning field! I take personal responsibility in the Emperor's name!"

Although I'll admit both of them get strange looks in Napoleonic or Ancients battles.

And course, one cannot got wrong with a good "Tora! Tora! Tora! Death from the Skies". That one work with Hun horse archers as well.

Yep, I got tactics

Bashytubits29 Jul 2018 9:07 p.m. PST

Narratio, your oration is mighty.

Old Wolfman30 Jul 2018 6:57 a.m. PST

Sometimes it starts out OK,then deteriorates from there.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP In the TMP Dawghouse30 Jul 2018 6:57 a.m. PST

Yes, tactics are good but do you have logistics !?? wink

PVT64130 Jul 2018 9:30 a.m. PST

Legion, My figures are Minifigs and Old Glory so there are always well fed.

Choctaw30 Jul 2018 2:38 p.m. PST

Well, yeah…

I will gladly throw wave after wave of troops at the objective.

Howler02 Aug 2018 2:35 p.m. PST

Tactics good, dice bad

Oh yes, the little known Skunk Orks !

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP05 Aug 2018 4:54 a.m. PST

They do have an area attack that … well … let's not discuss that just right here …

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP In the TMP Dawghouse05 Aug 2018 6:44 a.m. PST

Ah … Yes the Skunk Orks not to be confused with the Skunk Ape that is supposed to be found in the FL everglades … evil grin

Bashytubits05 Aug 2018 8:22 a.m. PST

Me feets stink. Are tactics somehow related to feets?

Bashytubits18 Aug 2018 7:07 p.m. PST

Since feet are required to execute tactics, yes.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP20 Aug 2018 9:34 a.m. PST

I used to have tactics on my feets, but my doctor gave me some topical antibiotics and they went away.

This guy has tactics on his feet, looks like they haven't been removed yet though.
