500 Point Games:

[Arguleon Veq]

In UK WD313, there is a large section on smaller Fantasy games. Mainly at 500 points.

It is pretty interesting, before reading it I never liked small games but I am now considering playing a few. It has run downs on how different units are effective in this game size.

Do any of you like to play smaller games? and if so, what units do you find most effective?

Basically what the magazine says.

DoW Deullists with Pistols work great in games at this size, they can quite easily avoid any enemy infantry unit due to their Skirmish ability. You pepper the unit for a while and after a few turns of torment you can pull off a flank charge to finish the weakened unit off.

You have to beware of characters in the unit leaving the unit and charging you though. You also have to make sure that the rest of the enemy force is distracted and dont manage to get the charge off on your Deullists as they just cant stand upto a decent enemy charge.

True. I wish that GW would do more scenarios and battle reports like this. They have Border Patrol and Skirmish. In America they have made something called warbands.
