You have painted the armies carefully and with great care, you have lined up players for both sides. The day of the battle arrives for you to display the new and latest military goodness on your meticulous table.
How do your players react when something outrageous happens?

My troops are so disloyal and heartless sometimes, sniff…

Well, my players don't behave that way.
But the little painted troops sure do. frown

How about setting all that up, then the players never show up? That's always a great feeling.

There's also this scenario

I was ready to go at 8AM, they never showed up until 10:30 and then dicked around for 1/2 hour before even looking at the set-up.

I don't have problems with other players but my troops sure give me fits, the little jerks.
