This isn't a query about where you have the most fun playing BB, it's a question of where - and using what race - you think showcases your skills to their best effect.
For example, my preferred BB games are on fumbbl, simply because I get a huge range of opponents, and get to keep teams beyond maybe ten or so games.
However, I'm undoubtedly a better player on TT. Many of you will say it's the quality of opponents, but I don't have anyone to play that have fewer than several hundred games under their belts. I find that, tactically, I'm far more astute with the models in front of me. Effectively, I think I'm a 'visual' player.
I also find that playing balanced, or weaker teams; (humans, rotters, etc), tends to bring out the best in me, because I get less complacent about the vulnerabilities and capabilities of my players.
How would you chaps/ladies consider yourselves? |

Playing a weaker or downright strange team.
I dont think TT vs FUMBBL matters much apart from the time pressure you sometimes get towards the end of games in TT. |

When I'm awake and using Elves against something bashy, on FUMBBL. Or something rubbish, with something rubbish, you have to think harder, so it brings out the best in you more.
I often play (in these days of having a job) tired and give the game less than my full attention. This is easier to do on TT, but, for whatever reason, I've not fully played as well as I can on a board yet (I know most people can just jump back and forth, no worries), although it is getting closer with every game. I remember in our CC game I thought a player was stunned in a square, but he wasn't, so you had a route to 2d. That sort of error doesn't come on FUMBBL.
I probably only play as well as I can half to 60% of the time. I try and grind out results when I know I'm not at 100%, but I don't always get away with it.  |

Speaking of which, 'goo, we're not far of playing our first-ever fumbbl match in the WIL.
Should be a good one, if PeteW leaves any of my players alive....  |

Yes, I hope it will be good. Sadly, I've picked up numerous niggles, some Pete induced.
It's only fair he whacks some of yours too. |

Let me coach a Chaosteam on Fumbbl and I think I'll be equal to most anyone here. Preferred TR is high, 200+. I'll do okay coaching Humans and Orcs, but not nearly as well with elves. |

Yarp - I think it's fair to say that there is a percentage of guys (8-10?) on here that if you get them coaching their best, it's very tough indeed to split them. Stuff like racial selection and pimping and dice have greater bearing on results than talent, at the top end, talent is so tight that seperation is nigh on impossible. Archevol has got the right idea, whoever you are, you're always more comfortable in some situations than others.
For instance, I hate Chaos, you strange, strange, Beast. Differences are cool.  |
