Wargamming

I've been a wargamer for years now, and only recently have I actually managed to play a campaign properly. It's something I've longed to do for ages, and tried to do numerous times over the years with pretty much uniform failure being the result. In the past I've always had grand ideas about map based story driven campaigns with multiple players involved and all sorts of other shenanigans. 

Well this time I decided to scrap all of that, and instead went and played the simple campaign laid out in the new 5th Edition rule book. I've just stuck with one opponent for the course of the campaign, and the only additional rules we've used have been the new experience ones in the rulebook, and so far it's been allot of fun. 

We've developed a few favourite units, and hated enemies, and both won and lost veteran units thanks to being a bit too eager to test out their new abilities! 

It’s also been a nice way of flexing my muscles with my Eldar a bit more, as all too often I create one army list and stick to that. The added bonus of a gradually escalating campaign has allowed me to experiment a little bit, and had shown me that some units are nicer than I’d have first thought. 

Anyway, if you are a wargamer and haven’t taken part in a campaign yet, I’d strongly advise that you do, it’s a lot of fun!
