Simple, no nonsense explanation of basic in-close fighting. Very useful for beginners and asso a reminder to the more experienced not to forget the fundamentals. |

A great concept for an article, Pasi! I am hoping there will be more of these articles. The photographs are marvellous too, really clear, and the models look really good. I think there is definite scope for these sorts of articles, as additional explanations go a long way towards helping one to grasp the ideas involved. More importantly, articles allow questions to be asked via the feedback. I suppose there is a tricky balancing act, not divulging rules, yet still conveying the concepts. Nonetheless, I hope we see more articles along these lines. I know I can benefit from them, as I get to game. |

Couldn't agree more with Tobbie here... Simple but great... Really usefull to begginers, but always good for more experienced players. Great models too!

Bart, I'm sure what you meant to say is "... if I only had a friend who plays it... AND lives near me". 
You have friends who play it, or want to play it, aplenty. Hint: Some of them have posted here.
Seriously though, I know what it's like. The few occassions that I have gamed, I roped in a family member or two and had them use my minis (there is no way they would actually have their own). Fortunately, I don't mind accumulating a host of minis for such occassions, but they aren't frequent enough. Oh yeah, I paint slowly too.
Back to the article though (at last), I too find these sort of articles rekindle my desire to try the gaming side of the hobby. Thanks again Pasi. |

This article will definitely come in handy when I finally get round to painting the whole army and start playing. Great pictures of wonderfully painted minis make reading it very pleasurable. |

Yeah, I wrote a draft several months ago and then I heard the new rulebook was on its way so I decided to wait and see. Plus had lots of other things to do meanwhile. The guide was originally quite a lot longer but after changes were made to the profiles, that is, practically everyone has a hand weapon now, the tactics for keeping two-handers alive changed and had to go. Shame.
And thanks to everyone for the comments. They keep the motivation high! -- Pasi |
