This Saturday (01/25) I will be playing a 1000 point game with Larry Correia here in Utah, USA. We know it will be ridiculous but we just want to use all our toys on a giant new table. It will be a custom scenario, 6 quadrants, multiple classifieds, panoplies, data trackers, 3 HVTs, 20 possible VP...the works. Army only goes up to 999 points and we decided to stick to legal vanilla lists: stay within points and SWC and stay within AVA. I ended up with 3 combat groups and 27 regular orders not including irregular, impetuous, strategos and tac awareness. I have 1 of each TAG, a bunch of hackers, engineers and snipers/TO bots, AD troops and an EVO. Sooo...If you were making a 999 point list, what would you put in? What would you leave out? We will document our Hubris and post it on WGC Infinity FB page.
Quite a fun idea... It might not be CA but I'd totally go for this with Steel Phalanx and really go mad with the Enomotarchos links.

This is so confusing.

Cheapest Lt in CombArmy is the 14 point Morat Vanguard. That leaves room for 244 Gakis and 2 Taigha by my count. That's only 25 combat groups...
All I need is a couple of boats and I could reenact the beach storming scene from Troy [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So...it did not go well for the Combined Army. The game took 5 hours to play and i was down to 5 orders by turn 3 with all of my attack pieces destroyed/killed. I was ahead of points at the bottom of turn 2, then he rampaged a Jotum behind my lines and killed everything and used the rest of the turn to get classifieds unopposed. We were trying to be quick and i rushed my deployment and made some big mistakes. He did not. I had excellent dice for all the unimportant rolls, but horrible dice for anything important. I highly recommend trying a big game at least once. There are definitely some different challenges when playing 1000 points and on a 10 foot table.
