rudra34 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 So tomorrow I'm going to give my girlfriend her first game of Warhammer with the wood elf army she is collecting. Using almost every model she currently owns, this is the list she will bring. Durthu 16 Glade Guard - Musician, Trueshot 5 Glade Riders 5 Sisters of the Thorn 5 Wild Riders I wanted to ask everyone if there is anything important that I should remember not to leave out while teaching her the rules. I've been playing for awhile with everything pretty much built-in, so I don't want to skip out on anything. If you were playing your first game, what would you want to be told?

Murphy'sLawyer Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Make sure to start each phase by announcing what phase it is. Beginners sometimes forget a phase and being reminded at the start of each phase helps. Also don't noob stomp. You don't want to be forbidden to play on Game Night as a repercussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talapas Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What?! But people have fun when they're being crushed! Only when I am doing the crushing???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 put her and her elves in their place hehe!!! yea go through the phases first teaching what you can do. i remember my first real game was early this year ha. first few games can be discouraging, so make sure to tell her its a game of patience and knowing your opponents is just as important as knowing your own strengths. huge learning curve, but its a fun game... im still learning and dont know jack yet lol.

Murphy'sLawyer Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What?! But people have fun when they're being crushed!You do realize women are way more vengeful then men and are better at getting revenge too, while wearing a smile. Think of that during your game.

rudra34 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Wood Elves are stupid and only a sissy girl would play... oh nevermind. I try not to call her a sissy. She'd come after me with her claymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanNinja Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would suggest empashing the movement phase. That is the most important, IMO. I'd also let her know that if casting a spell isn't worth a possible miscast to not attempt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Are you kidding? With any luck I'll have her 6-dicing flock of doom with Durthu every magic phase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudra34 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well, with some excellent advice from an amazing teacher, she managed to beat me 940 to 365. I blame cheaty elves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Cheaty elves are the worst. Even worse than smelly elves, pointy elves, flaming elves, speedy elves and frenzied elves combined. Stupid cheaty elves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Good work letting her win. Much more likely to get addicted that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 True, but the next time we play I will likely not hold back. She's likely to be vengeful, and that will make for faster learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
