As Eldar players, we have many tricks and options that other codexes don't get. Utilizing them to full effect is the key to victory. The learning curve is steep, but it is worth the climb in my opinion.Spellduckwronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562390052997011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-4290523565608006512013-05-29T09:55:26.364-04:002013-05-29T09:55:26.364-04:00Just found your articles.

I agree, Eldar are very fickle force and we have to think the next turn we are playing.<br /><br />Your statement about long time Eldar players will be brutally true to many opponents. Eldar are a rapier, not a broadsword and the blade looks to be sharpened.

Both players have been smashing their armies together for a few turns and the board can get chaotic. It is imperative to keep a cool head, plan out what you want to accomplish, and execute.<br /><br />I think that long time Eldar players are going to be a SERIOUS threat on the battlefield very shortly. We have had to home our skills and fight for every inch against newer and more powerful codexes for a long time. Once that same level of effort and strategy gets paired with a modern codex, it is going to be devastating. I have been saying this for years, and in a very short time, we shall see if I was correct.Spellduckwronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562390052997011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-6620694461608791102013-05-28T22:24:38.344-04:002013-05-28T22:24:38.344-04:00Adaptability and Situational Acuity are very impor...Adaptability and Situational Acuity are very important during the midgame.<br /><br />I have not had a "well duh" moment reading your articles sir. people tend to loose focus and forget the basics when in the thick of things. I am very guilty of that. I think it is going to be much more important for we that play Eldar in the coming months.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-84924192593551860652013-05-28T18:48:06.892-04:002013-05-28T18:48:06.892-04:00Thanks, nelsonus!
I completely agree. The initial ...Thanks, nelsonus!<br />I completely agree. The initial plan usually has to morph fairly quickly after a few turns. Unfortunately, we as players, tend to get caught up in the here and now rather than keeping our eye on the overall strategy.<br />I know I frequently come up with great plans in the shooting phase that I wish I had thought of in the movement phase so I could have actually acted on it.<br />I have to actively try to make sure I don't have tunnel vision on the immediate threats from last turn.<br />A player that is thinking critically in the mid game has a serious advantage in the late game over an opponent that was not.Spellduckwronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562390052997011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-29703194824553006982013-05-28T10:38:18.460-04:002013-05-28T10:38:18.460-04:00I like these articles.

It's a good reminder to THINK during the midgame and to have a plan for the remainder of the game rather than just react until the late turns where you have to hurry and grab some objectives.<br /><br />The initial plan is good, but it rapidly loses focus after turn 2-3. Refocusing helps me a lot to finish games out strong and not make dumb movement mistakes that I will rue when turn 5 comes around.<br />nelsonushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714677080294526960noreply@blogger.com
