I do like TLoS. You must be one of thsoe people that think armies set around before a battle aggreing which of their military units can shoot over which peices of terrain. Chess is a miniatures game, but it has zero fluff. My point was that PP tries (and does a really good job at) producing fluff for it's models but it's just falls flat on the table; which leaves it much like Chess.
It's a wargame. WAR-GAME. IT IMPLIES ABSTRACTION, or else we'd kill each other, plain and simple. And no, I think base2base LOS is the best way to go. TLOS 'because its realistic' is retardo, because it fails to grasp that the models are abstracted warriors that ARE STUCK IN A PARTICULAR POSE. ITS NOT REALISTIC.

Never one that consisted of so many prolonged battles from so many aggressors in such a confined space that consumes a mass amount of resources from all sides. The only thing close I can think of is Germany in WW2 when likened to Cygnar and it's battles on numerous fronts and dwindling resources, except Cygnars position is even more complicated what with fighting Trollkin, Undead, Khador, Skorne and PoM all on it's borders or oceans. It's horrible writing, period.
Confined space? I think the IK are about 2-3 times the size of Europe. So many prolongued battles? Only 2 important sieges in the last 6 years of settings, Northguard and Caspia. Everything else is peripheral. Cygnar is beset on all sides? Incorrect, they currently fight Khador and Cryx, as the hostilities with the PoM are currently on hold. And the trollkins are about as scary to cygnar as a wet baby hare is to a lion. It isn't horrible writing, its your inability to remember the fluff correctly.

I know that in every game of warmachine I've ever played, my warcaster has died and they're still kicking around in the fluff.
Dumbest critic ever.

I know that these same warcasters, rare as they are, seem to be at every warmachine game I've ever played.
2nd dumbest critic ever. I killed Captain America 2018 times at Marvel vs Capcom since the early 2000, why didn't he die earlier in the fluff???

Really, PP games are just horrible. The rock, paper, scissors mechanic is so broke that you and your opponent can show up with prebuilt lists and the game is already heavily against you. I show up with a stealth heavy force then sitting across from me is nothing but blast weapons = not a fun game for anyone.
It is for the Khador player. And now you know why focusing a force on a single shennannigan is a bad idea. But you really had to test it to realize it???

Most games end around turn 3, usually consisting of running towards each other as fast as possible to kill the head jedi becuase the entire battle will stall, no one else is capable of leading, there is absolutly no contengency plan if head jedi dude "dies" (again...and again...and again).
Man you must be a horrible player. Also, ''no one else is capable of leading, there is absolutly no contengency plan if head jedi dude "dies" '' is based on the fluff. No one else than the casters have the capacities to direct a dedicated Jack. THAT WAS IN THE RPG. and now you criticize that PP games don't feel like the fluff? Maybe you should reread the fluff.

On a personal note, I ****ing hate Victoria Haley. That ***** can do EVERYTHING. She has a great stat line, great amount of focus for her skill set, can cancel spells, can scramble jacks that get too close, can take down infantry (with a spell better than even ashes to ashes) and then combine that with an awesome utility feat and the ever dumb-as-hell temporal barrier and it just goes to show what bad writing truly is. I think she even has a buff too.
Sounds like you have a clear case of the butthurt there. Try not suck!ing so bad at the game, I guess?
