Good thing is that I have enough regiments on my own to destroy them in close combat too so I was looking at the oportunity to do so with my cavalry.
It would be very difficult for me to create a situation for favourable combination of charges as support units of the enemy will always be in the way and despite having some good amount of bow fire I might not have enough time to clear them all out. With such a fast army to face I think I was at disadvantage. I wanted to try out magic bows one more time. I present this army just for a reminder as I haven't changed it since the last game against Daemons. Vargulf is a great and versatile unit on its own and with regeneration it can proove to be hard beast to put down.Īrchmage, Annulian Crystal, Bow of Seafarer - High MagicīSB, Great Weapon, Heavy Armour, Shield, Reaver Bow, Dragonhelmġ0 White Lions, Musician, Standard, Banner of Eternal Flameġ0 White Lions, Musician, Standard, Gleaming Pennant Both characters are hard to stop or divert as they fly and nothing really can stop them from charging their chosen target if only that target is in their front arc. Both units of Knights are not only delivery systems for the characters but can be very dangerous on their own, especially when they charge. The army is also a very interesting and efficient combination of small sacrificial units which are also very fast and can be crucial in blocking any counter charges or attack paths and powerful characters and hard hitting units. My Archmage was going to have tought challenge to stop it. The army is still fast, with potent magic nicely augmented by two bound spells. "Only" two Vampires :), a little more variety in core section and Vargulf instead of Vargheists.

But it was still true to his idea of a very fast undead host and it might have been even more dangerous than his previous army.
I faced a different army than he used against Brewmaster_D or Findolfin as it was his tournament list and he was limited to the available models borrowed from his friend. Overall, I think the Tango remains fully playable.I finally had a chance to test my army against new VC led by Gatti-jwg20. Kf2ĭuring the game, I had the feeling that White should be better but it is not easy to keep control. I see no reason to challenge that notion) 12.
#White against black knights tango plus
Be2 Nb6 (11.f5 12.d5! gives White a plus according to Chesspub. Chesspub vaguely recommended 11.Nb6 which I tested in the Dresden Olympiad:ġ. e5 is any good - now 10 d5 Nd4 11 Nd4 ed 12 Bd4 Ne4 seems to work, and I guess after 12 Qd4 Black has sufficient comp.?ġ1.Be2 is indeed a strong move and has been played several times since the release of Richard's book. e5 12 d5 Nd4 doesn't work (nor I think does 10. f5 12 0-0! (12 d5 Na5!? is less clear?) is good for White and that 11.
Grrr, I foolishly assumed that the 11 Be2 idea was new rather than being in Richard Palliser's book, so spent an hour and a half working out for myself that 11. Not what we are looking for when we play 2.Nc6! :D Nd4 whenever possible or else there is a risk of the position turning into some form of inferior KID. After 10.d5 Ne7 11.Qd2 Kh7, White can play 12.g4! with a sizeable advantage. Seems to me it's just a one-tempo down KID. I've no idea who Recuero is though - I've noticed that a player isn't necessarily untitled just because ChessLive doesn't indicate he/she is!Īfter 12.Kh7 13.c5, Black is probably hard pressed to play 13.dc 14.dc Nd7 when White might have something after 15.Qc2 but nothing much.ĩ.e5?! is just dubious IMHO. I'd be interested to know if you reckon White's play here can be improved on. e5 was just that it's been successfully played against a GM (in the game Ramesh-Recuero, given on ChessLive). Kh7 13 c5, which looks strong to me - but am I missing something?
