Hey guys, so I've played about 15 8th edition games with O&G and WoC and I've lost every single one. I didn't lose because of bad setup or bad tactical strategies, nothing like that. I lost purely on chance. Every single game I do fairly well on magic, decent at shooting and then I whiff my close combat 100% of the time.
Today's latest failure I played 1500pts WoC vs HE. I murdered his Phoenix Guard block with my Hellcannon and magic. Speed ahead to our Close Combat phase and the game goes downhill. My Sorc dies from Miscast even with Infernal Puppet. He had 4 Dragon Princes + Mounted Noble charge a block of 17 Warriors w/ FC, Mark of Nurgle and BSB. Then 20 Spearmen flanked the same block. Ok not a big deal, his knights only killed 3. So it's my turn to attack. I throw 16 attacks and miss 14 of them. All 1's and 2's. I lost the combat, fled into one of his Great Eagles and they all died.
I forfeit after that because all I had left was a Hellcannon and a block of 16 Warriors w/ FC, no more Lords or Heroes on the table, against 2x20 Spearmen w/ 1 Noble on foot and the Dragon Prince unit.
These losses are so frustrating because the exact same thing happens EVERY game! I haven't won a single close combat because I never hit anything. What do I do?? If this has happened to you, what do you do to keep the desire to play? At this point I want to just sell everything and quit Warhammer.
