Article: Do or Die Scenarios are Bad
Here's a teaser of an article I wrote recently for Bell of Lost Souls:
Warmachine is a game where if you play carelessly with your warcaster, you can lose the game immediately. When I read battle reports from other players, I shake my head every time I read the dreaded "do or die" scenario. What does this scenario mean? It means that if you don't do something big this turn, you will lose the game. It's literally do or die. This is exactly the type of scenario that you should avoid.
Recently, I read a battle report where someone got himself in close proximity to pButcher. He was trying to pull off a kill on pButcher but when all things failed, he figured his warcaster should go try! Now I don't know about you guys, but I can't fathom why you would ever get anywhere near a MAT9 Reach POW16 Weapon Master. To make matters worse, you're not running eEiryss and the Butcher is camping focus with Iron Flesh on himself. For those of you that are not familiar with Warmachine, pButcher is a slaughterhouse on two legs. He's the size of most armies' light 'jacks and his melee swings as strong as most heavies. Under no circumstance you should ever be near him unless you're prepared. If you're running a melee beast warcaster yourself, you still might want to invest in another strategy since going up against Butcher with camped focus and buffs is going to be tough. If you're ranged or a spellcaster and you're going for it, you're doing it wrong.
You can find the rest here.
