wisetiger7 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Soo... it's not doubles... except for round three?!? Why the heck is it called doubles? Shouldn't it just be a team event, with teams consisting of two players?! And 2,000 points?!? So game three is 4,000 points per side, 4 players... hope there's increased time allotment for that game... In my mind, doubles is a great chance to build on the strengths of your army while another player covers your weaknesses in a collaborative effort. If we're playing two 1v1 battles, those weaknesses are much more prevalent. If I bring magic so my teammate doesn't have to, then during the 1v1 matches, he won't have a caster. This means we each have to bring lists to account for all aspects rather than building off your doubles partner. This also means that during game 3, one person can/will have a useless caster because their teammate has a better one, etc. So now you're just wasting points. Running it this way defeats the entire purpose of having a 'doubles' event IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Except you dont know if what you do in your game will affect your team-mate.......so try to have an open mind and realize this is totally a "funsy event" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
