|
From my blog:
Citation: | At one time or another we all must have asked this question. By super I mean an army that in the hands of almost anyone will deliver an above average number of victories. Personally, I don't think so; whatever the rules.
However with Art de la Guerre (ADLG) I can answer the question in a bit more depth than with other rules. This is because there's a lot of data freely available on army choice and performance from ADLG tournaments around the world. |

At the club I as in back then we considered in WRG that Late Imperial Roman was a Super Army. |

A quick glance at the results from this last weekend's tourney at the UK Games Expo shows that the Yuan Chinese won, but also had 3 places in the bottom ten, including last (Sorry Graeme ), whilst there are 9 very different armies in the top 10 ( the 2 Ghaznavids being the exception).
I prefer to look at it from the other direction - there aren't any real dogs in the lists either..... |

ADLG is very much a rock-paper-scissors game. This is good and bad for obvious reasons. I will note, given that the game is rock-paper-scissors, this makes armies such as HYW French very powerful as they can effectively morph a rock into scissors if they are facing off against a paper.Â
The only reason Ghaznavids perform so well is due to the distinct lack of mass ranged armies. |
