So ive been playing for a few months now...and i gotta say some parts of this game can get me so heated that i almost cant stand it. One of the people i started with barely understands the rules of his own army (seriously i know it better then he does) so im just curious did any of you have to deal with frustrations and how did you over come them? I truely enjoy the game and can accept when i get my ass kicked (which hasnt happened in the last month thanks to many prays towards the blood gods) but i just want to know i dont just have temper problems... any feed back on the matter would be fantastic 8)

I'm usually faced with an opponent who doesn't know the rules for his own army.
And he's been playing them for years.

Blood Angels. Red thirst rolls. He forgets this rule EVERY game. Even though the red sparkly ones have had this rule in some form for YEARS. Even better is the trying to "flat out" move his rhinos 24" in the movement phase. FAST vehicles get to move 18" (no more). 24" is reserved for flat out FAST SKIMMERS (and turbo-boosting bikes/jetbikes).

Eldar players who forget they have fleet (and that it means more than JUST an extra d6 movement these days).

Just grow a thicker skin, and practice the mantra.
"Learn your fricken army rules, noob."

:D


Okay you got me beat. haha
Thank you everyone. You have made me feel like i am not in the wrong. I do try to remeber to let them know about things they missed but if its something they should know by now i will just say did you get everything in your movement/shoot/assult phase? he says yes i smile and nod.
I just recently thought of this:

If I commented on the tactics and strategy of my enemy to him post-battle, is that rude or food sportsmanship? I could definitely see it as coming across as asshole-ish.
I totally tried to do this with him and let him know that putting his terminators who can deep strike in a land rader was not his only option...her didnt take it well and the next game the termes were in deep strike. Its just a bit frustrating.

But thanks again to everyone who helped out with this.
