Moving wins games.
40k is a chess game.
It's all about movement.
I've heard some top players say dice don't matter...but that's bull.
Dice do matter when a failed charge means you lose the game.
I won a game awhile back because I command rerolled a save and got a 5 on my daemonettes that scored me a ton of points. As I recall that single daemonettes was worth like 15 points based on where she was and the action her squad was doing.
Dice win games.
However, movement is much more impactful. Movement denys points. Movement scores points. Movement determines what lives and die.
Mastery of the movement phase is essential to winning.
I played, 'Git gud' the other day.
He beat me with his World Eaters on Tabletop Simulator. (I'll play you too, if anyone wants some games)
He did a great job of setting traps that I was forced to deal with.
He moved trash units, Jahkals, onto two objectives in the center of the board.
It could have shot them off the table BUT Jahkals make an objective they die on sticky so I had to touch the objective to take it and the moment I did, it was full send on his 20 man beserker squad staged behind a wall that I couldn't get an angle to shoot.
He also sent in two hell brutes that ping pinged back and forth killing basically my whole army.
I knew it was going to happen and despite knowing that I made some choices to see how it was going to play out. I didn't fully understand how stupid his hell brute rules were. They're similar to how dumb Murder Fang is in Space Wolves, but they can take three of them, with 6" consolidate movement.
So I took the bait, intentionally and hoped that my army would get enough 4++ invuln saves to survive the first onslaught. Spoiler: They didn't but I learned a ton about playing as melee army.
Then, the next day, I put together a new list of Slaanesh demons and beat the new BS Ultra Marines over powered Victrix squad list.
I fought this guy with a list of 30 daemonettes, they hit hard but are not hard to destroy.
He had two tanks in his list, which I had no answer for other than move blocking them.
Turns 1,2 and 3, I stood in his way more than I destroyed things with the daemonettes and I had a solid win.
Wild games.
How are your games going?
