Default Re: Why Play Competetive 40K

I finally realized why I like fantasy over 40k. At least right now. I thought it was about the more restrictive rule set of fantasy but it is my feeling of control. I have control issues apparently. Fantasy allows you to control your opponents movement with march blocking and bait and flee, You can just block line of sight and limit his shooting, You can oppose his spells. Once it gets to close combat there isn't much control in either game. It just turns into crazy smack-em-ups.

I guess I could get some control in 40k if I just power up my army lists. Hmm...maybe I should take Ikarus' advice and just make some crazy powerlists. I'll have my regular lists for when I'm playing against people who are out to have fun and not impose their will on me. I'm pretty sure that is what is bothering me.
