Well... better late than never, right?
This past week or so has been a bit of a nightmare, apologies about the late late post.... and also the poorer quality of the post. It was a bit rushed, and I had writers block a few times.
Don't worry, I know the general direction I am taking here...

So... In your experience, both in games and out of them, how are victories won?
Are they won by a single precision strike on a single critical target at a critical time?
Are they won by placing massive force on a small location?
How about gradual grinding down over time to force a result you like?
Or even by splitting up the defense so that they can not react effectively to multiple threats?

I play tau and this fits perfectly with my favoured path of kauyon. (the patience/hunter, it means both.) Essentially, hide in small groups, sell your lives high, but don't go on suicide rampages.

I play nids....we love to swarm, so therefor we shall overwhelm you.

Most of the time it ends up in a deadlock though, tyranids adapt to stop pulse rounds, they are killed by kroot rifles and vice versa.

I am going to give this one a few more days. If it is not resolved by the weekend, I roll the dice...

[Hyper Kinetic]

OK, stalemate resolved... story up within the next few hours.... ish.

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

Oh MY god....my plan worked!

[Hyper Kinetic]

Hasn't worked yet: Remember that this is only the planning stage and we haven't even got it passed by the council yet

As a side note, this one is going to take longer than expected: I have decided there will be pictures and so this one probably will not be up until tonight (or early tomorrow, my time).
