Post 250 Escalation League Super Skirmish

Usually our group has a tendency to play team games with outrageous numbers like 5v5 or even sometimes an unmanageable 7v7. Why we keep doing this to ourselves I'm not entirely sure.

We ended up with 8v8 using our 250 point armies from the Escalation League tournament. That only put us at 2,000 points a side which should have been a manageable battle. Unfortunately the more people you have in a game the longer it is going to take...


I ended up deploying from the Web Way that Colin had made for me and my bikes spent a lot of time turbo-boosting across the battlefield and soaking up hits with their cover saves.


While looking incredibly cool, the game was long and frustrating at best. I'm learning more and more that playing with large teams is a terrible idea, especially if you have anybody on your team who thinks they are somehow your "team leader" or what have you. Arguing tactics and watching other people move your models for you is quite possibly the most aggravating experience you can have in your lifetime.
