I played a game today against another Chaos player. I have played him before a few months back when I was stretching it to field 2k points. This game went better, but in the end I lost. Here are some points I need to try to remember for next time.
1. Play to the mission. We had 6 random, mysterious objectives. instead of trying to find out which ones were on my side of the board I played very aggressive and that did not work for me. I ended up losing both of my squads of Plague Marines on the way to kill his guys. I only held one on my side. On his side, he held 2. I sent my heavy hitters at the one worth less points since it was closer instead of staying in the land raider and going for the one further away.
2. Know what rolls I need. I am still relying heavily on the other person to tell me what I need to roll to wound or hit in close combat. I don't think anyone has intentionally led me wrong, but I think I would do better knowing this since I would have an idea of what my odds are before getting involved in a situation.
3. Don't be afraid to contest rules. A few times I pushed back on something I was fairly confident about and ended up being right. No one has been mean about having to look up a rule, so I should keep doing this. This will also help me to know what the rule is for the future.
4. Think ahead. I wasted some of my units by having them move one direction, then another the next turn. If I try to plan ahead more, I will be able to have a better strategy and maybe anticipate moves.
5. I need to learn the stats on other models. Today would have been a lot better if I had known what I have that can hurt specific models of his. If I am thinking about that, it will also hopefully help me to remember any special equipment that I have that could be effective.
Aside from playing more games, I am not sure of a way to get better. Maybe reading through the rule book again so I have a better understanding of things would help.
