Inexperienced Coach looking for dark elf league help
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:00 am
Ok, so after 3 1/2 years away from tabletop, I decided to jump back into BB. I had always previously played amazons, so this time I was taken by the idea of the Dark Elves. I have signed back up to our local league, and my first 2 games in a 9 game regular season (then playoffs, which I won't be making ) are against Chaos Dwarves, both with similar builds.
1st game: 2 Centaurs, 6 Blockers, 3 hobgoblins, 2rr 1 ff
2nd Game: 2 Centaurs, 5 blockers, 4 hobgoblins, 3rr
My roster is : 1 Runner, 3 Blitzers, 1 Assassin, 7 lineman, 2rr. (I know I know, Assassin , but I love the idea of them, and this is the roster I wanted to try) Can you tell I have had zero tabletop with Dark Elves ?? HAHAHA I am sticking with this roster, so advice towards tactics would be appreciated
So for my first 2 games, figuring that the second one will be similar, with not too many changes in skills etc.... I would like some advice about how to try and play firstly the dark elves in general, and more specifically how to try and crack these first 2 games and not get devastated (1 loss and 1 draw would be awesome, a win would be amazing, but not totally important. For obvious reasons, I struggle immensely with amazons against these CD teams, so any advice to help me not get slaughtered as DE would be fantastic!! I really want to have fun in my first league back, but getting smashed to the point of having no chance in my later games isn't my idea of fun.
So, over to the community for assistance
I will probably try and ask for advice each couple of games, and see how it goes!!!!!
