Thanks for sharing, definitely an interesting article covering perhaps one of the more tactical aspects of the game.

Well. I was afraid this would be a Slaneesh topic, but it turns out it's about gaming. I think it's possible to make a simple AI mechanic for AoS. It would be crude and ineffective, but that could be compensated by numbers. It would present a benchmark challenge which you can try to solve as efficiently as possible.
I love me a bowl of numbers to crunch for breakfast. If you need anything theoryhammered, I gladly take requests.

I think you are right - make take a fair amount of effort but would be an interesting project - for me when I game against myself I play as hard as I can from both sides - maybe it takes a certain kind of mentality to do this and enjoy it - don't think it's something that everyone would enjoy but I find it all helps

Some interesting points you bring up. I'm unashamed to say that I've been playing with myself since I was around twelve, although I do prefer playing with someone else if the opportunity presents itself.

Playing with yourself can certainly be fun. I enjoyed your center page magazine spread.

It could also be interesting to consider possibilities for how best to manage a three way... Should two participants double team the third or would it work better as a free-for-all, no holes barred, anything goes arrangement?
