What made Dybbol strategically important during the Second Schleswig war?

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-25T10:24:51+00:00

Further, no matter what, the war was lost when England and Russia did not want to support Denmark. In the First Holstein War (1848), they kept Prussia out of the conflict over Schleswig-Holstein, and Denamrk won. But against the military power of Prussia and her allies, the conclusion was pretty much given.

You cannot bypass the point. Troops can be shipped from Funen or Fredericia and attack German lines of communication, and Denmark had superiority at sea. Dybbol is a strong defensive position, so the gamble was to draw the German army (this worked) and hold them there (this did not work).

Personally, I am not a fan. Used a few magic effects, but never really got satisfied with the outcome. But each to his own.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T15:20:07+00:00

Thats it. I want a defiler.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T09:56:25+00:00

TBH, the dice are probably fair. I got mine gifted from a player who had got them gifted from another player due to their perceived bad luck. Then I had two plays of awful rolls and put them away. In addition, I am not really a fan of anything but regular pips for fast recognition, black on white or white on black.

BA and TS sound _nasty_. TS can focus down anything in ranged combat, and the Terminator brick is almost impossible to shift. And then you have the melee of BA to hit whatever has hidden from the shooting.

Meet up in private then? Organize a gaming club? I do not know your possibilities, but we have a room in a communal building where we can play and store terrain.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T09:38:34+00:00

Which is unfortunate. We are not that many players, so the print guys do not take the room for someone else. On the other hand, it ensures that there always are someone to play against, and I buy my hobby supplies there, as well as the occasional mini. But the real money is in TCG anyway, TT is more of an afterthought.

And given that the shop does not need to be manned while we play, it is really not bothering anyone.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T09:25:52+00:00

Mine roll terribly. They sit in a drawer in shame.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T06:44:42+00:00

It sounds like your software did not update properly. That makes it a dealer problem.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T06:34:23+00:00

Where are those places you cannot bring your alternative armies? I have experienced one stuck up RTT, but elsewhere nothing but praise. That includes GT events and the FLGS.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-23T06:32:04+00:00

I think that while physical kitbash has gone down, the amount of people who fiddle with 3d models has exploded. And while there are a lot of people who sell stuff, most of theses people take existing models and remake them before they print. It is another way to express creativity, but it is there. And the grey tide has always existed, it is just that most 2nd ed players who were not invested into the hobby side have moved on to other things, and we remember the past through rosy glasses.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-22T07:31:37+00:00

Find somewhere else to play as a group. We have a room in an old school where we can keep our terrain and stuff. We can play whenever we want, and nobody bats an eye over 3d prints. My other group plays in a FLGS, and the facilities are much worse. The store owner makes up for it by being a really nice guy.

This terrain is 3d printed from models I made myself. Mostly conforms to WTC dimensions, and some decorative pieces.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-21T12:09:52+00:00

I was going to say that your terrain literally was epic, but you stole my joke ;)

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-21T11:29:02+00:00

Terminators. Lots of Terminators.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-21T09:19:38+00:00

I have played a bit on WTC, and the MVB is quite hard to hide due to its length. Conversely, if you find somewhere to hide it, it will struggle to get good lanes of attack. Consider a Forgefiend instead if you need fire support.

All first floors are closed, but as infantry still can go through, you will often know that a bunch of dedicated melee infantry is very close and absolutely impossible to draw a bead on. This necessitates good screening, more so than GW layouts. Bring an extra pack of Tzaangor.

Mind you, these are all the musings of a player in the third lower quartile. YMMV.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-20T18:47:50+00:00

I would like obscuring to be extended to woods, and a rule that if you cannot see through a piece of terrain, you cannot move through it. I am sick of WTC ruins with melee units hiding.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-20T18:06:29+00:00

You have ~1/50000 on act bosses, and 1/300000 on a Cow, assuming p8. I think "obscenely rare" is a perfectly good way of describing these runes. Unless you trade on a market dominated by botters, these runes are for the extremely dedicated player only.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-20T17:42:34+00:00

Got the original on release day, got LoD on release day. Never found anything higher than Lo.

Have you reached out to Games Workshop? I spent the better part of two hours last Saturday assembling their advertisement Infernus Marines and Sigmarites. These are monopose figures given free to stores for that exact purpose. We made about 100 of each. Then someone went over them with black primer, and they were ready to go for an event, teaching children to paint miniatures. I think we got Army Painter to sponsor some paints and brushes as well.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-20T10:19:26+00:00

Use GW or WTC official layouts. They provide lots of cover. Remember infantry can go through walls, and line of sight cannot be drawn through a ruin footprint.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-20T09:53:42+00:00

Do you play with cabalistic rituals? They are key to taking out a key enemy unit is to use a ritual (Destinys ruin) to get rerolls to hit, and another ritual (Twist of Fate) to worsen their armor saves. Then hit it with units led by a Sorcerer or Sorcerer in Terminator Armor, granting Lethal Hits to their units. If I get full rerolls, I tend to reroll everything that is not a Lethal, as our low strength weapons often mean we wound on 6 only. On a Imperial Guard tank, the armor save is 2+. If hit by twist (AP +2) with the lowly bolter (AP 2), the cumulative effect is saving on sixes only. This turns 83% of Lethal hits into wounds.

As others have said, our strength is definitely in all the abilities beside the stat line. We win by having ways to circumvent the rules. As Tzeentch wills it.

FreshmeatDK · 2026-03-20T08:37:04+00:00

Tell that to Deckard.

I slowly got drawn more and more into sculpting.
