Yes, absolute must, but there are ways to determine efficiency properly and ways to do it wrong. And redundancy plans are important to all lists, but more important to SM than others...like, eldar don't require as much redundancy, and usually unit versatility will help compensate for redundancy. If you have a dedicated tank hunting unit, it's usually a good idea to have a few backups. But you could for-go the option altogether and choose to play units that effectively handle infantry but just so happens to also be lethal to armor...*cough* guass *cough* etc. I recommend that everyone take all of the principles listed in this post to heart and learn how to practice them...as for efficiency. I have a blog as well that focuses on just that. 40kwisdom.com. it's new, so there's only some Tyranid info so far, but I'm going to overview every unit in 40k, if anyone would like to know about anything in particular, just let me know.xeno_scumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565129889401750324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-60316343795035074362010-05-26T13:29:21.903-04:002010-05-26T13:29:21.903-04:00mastering baiting, puns aside, is something that i...mastering baiting, puns aside, is something that is related to many of those aspects and may deserve its own attention. my current marine army, for example, relies heavily on effective baiting. maybe this fits under "Strategic Misdirection", but i think it has some shorter term aspects while in-game.<br /><br />"How to Pull Models For Advantage" might better be called "Allocating Wounds/Damage for Advantage".<br /><br />"Knowing What Your Opponent Must Do" should be "Knowing What Your Opponent Is Likely To Do". 'must' implies that your opponent thinks the same way and sees the same things you do, which isn't always true.<br /><br />there's also a host of psychological aspects that may not belong here, but could eventually be included.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754922347269614157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-31981049324578012402010-05-26T07:32:38.215-04:002010-05-26T07:32:38.215-04:00SOT's and Chumby's additions added.

So list-building will have it's own strategic category. I just want to make sure I hit every major topic I can.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-44229274467654120582010-05-25T18:32:24.732-04:002010-05-25T18:32:24.732-04:00The two lists presented seem to break down most of...The two lists presented seem to break down most of the game, it will be interesting to see how you apply each to 40k. <br /><br />I am also reading a book right now, the new Dreseden files book. The lessons I am learning from it are not to trust wizards and vampires. While that may not apply directly to 40k I think that we can all agree that this is a good life lession.Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075294689773116021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-67384014497717378162010-05-25T12:52:05.605-04:002010-05-25T12:52:05.605-04:00I believe List Efficiency is one of the most impor...I believe List Efficiency is one of the most important factors of a competitive game. Having a list that compliments itself and flows like water between all it's units will often bring the force a tidal wave to your enemies when they work together. <br /><br />The area of list efficiency could be expanded to contain several items in the first list.Spaguatyrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459803772469387289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-58758306982786338702010-05-25T05:05:38.504-04:002010-05-25T05:05:38.504-04:00This sounds like a great idea.

The last two times that I've been badly beaten have been due to poor use of reserves. <br /><br />I could definitely use some schooling.Wienashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756262005166254202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-60538600570400236412010-05-24T21:08:30.207-04:002010-05-24T21:08:30.207-04:00Stratey: List building, deployment, and overall pl...Stratey: List building, deployment, and overall plan.<br /><br />Tactics: Maneuvers over short times (1-2 turns) that support your overall strategy and allow you to winz0r<br /><br />Both are incredibly importantChumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-76668316418226372312010-05-24T20:40:49.597-04:002010-05-24T20:40:49.597-04:00One could argue that the local metagame is the onl...One could argue that the local metagame is the only one that matters.<br /><br />I'd add "Knowing when NOT to shoot/assault something" to the tactical competencies. Not about when you'd get stomped in the assault, but recognizing that sometimes it's more to your advantage to leave something alone as an obstruction to your enemy rather than destroy it now.sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.com
