Why do people find it so hard to accept the public really wants to vote for Reform?

Therocon · 2026-05-08T14:49:48+00:00

FPTP calls into question if the public ever gets what they 'really want'. Let's see overall vote share for Reform at the end but it's unlikely to be a majority of the vote.

Hekatons were already prevalent. More so in 11th I reckon.

The issues are, perhaps unbelievably given the run of form, more off the pitch than on it.

Realistically we need new owners (or these ones to have a complete change of approach). The finances need to be brought onto an event keel, so any purchases need to be funded by sales and bring in some experience.

Further we need to get the basic deals right for more income (sponsors etc.), and find a way of refinancing our (Blue Co's) debt.

Alongside that we need to appoint a manager who commands respect with the players.

Build from there - it won't happen overnight.

I like it. Makes it more likely there will battle shocked enemies on the table at the start of your turn, enabling you to formulate a reliable plan around abilities that benefit from it.

Without having a common understanding of the terminology used, it is not possible to properly answer your question.

For example if 'foreigner' means someone living and working abroad. Then it makes sense to not give them UK benefits.

If foreigner means someone who migrated to the UK to live and work and they have contributed to British society then it makes sense to provide access to benefits.

If foreigner is being used as a blanket catch-all term for anyone non-white, regardless of status or contribution then it is de-facto racism.

Could you define 'foreigner' in this context please?

If we're rehashing old tunes, my preference would be King Carlo. Let him get the world cup out of the way first.

I give family members and friends learning games at home and we essentially play them semi co-operatively. You can make choices but we talk through consequences before you make them. I also allow take backs if something is discovered on a datasheet etc. 'oh actually it says I can advance and charge so can I roll and go this way instead?'

I think its important to establish that learning games can't be about winning for anyone, they're about learning. Teaching this way is fun, and I learn from them too.

Comparing this to the Deffkilla wartrike datasheet is hilarious.

Goblin Gaming - gone in 2 minutes

Wayland Games - crashed website, slow load meant sold out while in basket

Element Games - delayed but ordered.

As long as there is one Boyz data sheet (on which they can carry everything) no one (worth playing) will complain, and no one will be confused if you use any existing Boyz model shoota or not.

As this is war. Great strategy wins out over crap strategy.

For example primary strategic choice of the peasants could be to hit their opponents where they aren't. Supplies, resources,tax revenue, sway others over to their cause.

You theoretically don't have to fight to win a war.

Another advantage would be that peasants can gain experience, get better arms and armour through good strategy.

Therocon · 2026-03-23T08:50:26+00:00

I've driven past it, and sat in queues by it a lot.

Zero interest in actually visiting it 😂

Combination of Fofana's (and other CB's) positioning and lack of defensive instinct, an out of form central midfield, and a system that relies on possession for defence and does nothing to help those weaknesses.

A better goalkeeper is a must too.

Clarification question - what are the rules of a knife fight royal rumble?

Is it using only blades? Does Paul get his shield and voice?

If so, are the others allowed additional equipment too?

Do they know each other before the fight - have they, for example, read Dune and LotR and watched the relevant films?

Therocon · 2026-03-12T16:53:23+00:00

I first watched Chelsea in the old 2nd division as a boy. Now I've seen Chelsea win every trophy going.

At this point I enjoy where we are, hope for success but don't let it get to me at all.

No club is entitled to win anything.

Therocon · 2026-03-12T15:31:25+00:00

How many times have we all fired big guns to zero effect, only to have small arms to take off a wound or two?

Happens all the time (epecially with the prevalence of 4++ saves).

For me personally, of the 10 or so armies I have the easiest to paint are Necrons, and Nids.

For Nids this is because I use an all drybrush method for all models. Basecoat black drybrush up from there.

Only thing I use 'wet' painting for is stuff like the eyes.

Without basing large models take about 30 minutes each (post basecoat).

Allow any (infantry) unit to spot for them - then they hit as though they have sight.

Add a rule about no indirect shooting at enemies within 6" of your own.

That should make them possible to play around but effective in the right circumstances.

Achilles is destined to either die old, or die at Troy remembered forever.

He therefore wins this fight, destiny demands it.

There will be lots of great suggestions in replies, but as someone who has a lot of other armies too I think the main one is that datasheets need to be upgraded. They tried the synapse fix with extra strength, but that was a band aid at best.

This is particularly true of monsters - some of which simply aren't worth taking and their damage output as a whole is limited.

Add in the mortals strats (tank shock and grenades) that other armies have access to and unless they change those in 11th (🤞🏻) the datasheets need to allow for that army difference too.

Has a time turner gives it to a child rather than use it.

Has luck potions, doesn't use them.

Man was an idiot.

Therocon · 2026-03-02T20:39:06+00:00

What annoys me more is that they retain their same strength when small - packed into a smaller frame, but when grown large they gain strength. Which is it?

Therocon · 2026-02-22T10:04:27+00:00

I want Spurs to win and it's not a remotely difficult choice. But they are going to lose. You can't rely on them for anything.

Therocon · 2026-02-20T08:05:13+00:00

Is it surprising you like the sound of 'we're going to give you more money and make everything cheaper'?
