Sometimes I wonder how much we're capable of learning from blogs and forums.
It can be a bit depressing. There is so much information out there, but it can be difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Leaving that out of the equation though, I think we put ourselves in too much of the argument.
Consider.
I replied to comments made about Daemons in this thread (comments have not been ported over) Paul S says that Daemons work best when:
a) Your opponent doesn't have a clue how to properly deploy
b) Your opponent still believes transports and tanks do not dominate 5ed
c) He does not take three Preds and five Razorbacks
d) He asks you what target priority means
e) You roll a lot of sixes - he rolls a lot of ones
f) Your reserves don't arrive turn four
g) you are allowed to control the center of the table
h) Your opponent thinks that he can go H2H with Daemons and prefers to attack rather than shoot
i) You are satisfied with a draw or minor victory
So he's basically saying a Daemons player has to play an idiot to win. All things being equal, luck and someone who doesn't know how to play are what is required for me to do well. Please note, this is not an attack on Paul S. It seems like he is venting a bit, or trying to make a point. Still, this seems to be the overwhelming opinion.
