If, for any reason, my pictures of toy soldiers are interesting to you and you have some of your life to waste you can now watch a battle complete with MOTD-style commentary and analysis.

Most comments I've received are on the lines of "41 year olds should really not make trotting sounds while moving their small plastic horses".

Very complicated
Who decides how big your army is/ ratio of, say, cavalry to infantry??
What's to stop the other guy going home and making loads of heavy cavalry and giving you a 'good hiding' when you have a re match?
At least I'll know who you are if I bump into you at P&B now

Deeper stairs would be nice, or smaller feet.

Beforehand, we agree on the number of "points" for the game. Competitions are usually between 600 points and 800points, which works out at 90 minutes to 2 hours of game.
Each model has a cost in points. So a cavalry model might be 14 points. Typically the more skilled cost more points. At 800 points, you could field 120 goblins against 35 skilled elves. Most players will field either a thematic army or one balanced with a variety of troops.
The type of mission is randomly decided, so you need to be able to cope with a variety of situations. My Rohan here were fully mounted, which is normal. They are light skirmishing cavalry, so have bows for shooting etc. Easterling cavalry are heavy armoured cav. So if they charged me, I'd expect to die. In that case I'd have to run away and shoot arrows at the to whittle them down.
I wasn't playing my best! I play maybe 100 games a year, including big UK tornaments.
Still, hopefully a little insight to what we actually "do" once they're painted.

Step daughter moved back in with us a couple of weeks ago, along with pretty boy Kobe, the pedigree working cocker who can do no wrong, Step daughter nearly had a fit this morning when he ran into the house with a dead rat in his mouth!
