Adventurer's Guild

I've been looking into running some fantasy games again using WFB . What I don't understand is why archers are so poor. I've discussed this at length with several people and my primary problem as I see it is the fact I am running high elves. In Warhammer, you required to field a percentage of point value in Core troops. Now that isn't such a big deal, but I am trying to decide whether to put my points into Silver Helms or Archers.

We took a little time this week, and ran a game of 40k. It has been a while since we played anything quite this large in terms of point value. For me it was a good exercise, and I learned a few things. What bothered me was simply forgetting some of the simple things, hated flipping back and forth between the books, and unfortunately I am not sure when the next game is going to come again.

The Thunderwolf Cavalry my buddy was playing would have been unengaged soon if it would have hit on a flamer with a grenade. It is important whenever you are playing against someone with two wounds per figure to roll as many high strength attacks as possible separately to rem
