my name is teep and I'm an eperienced painter and noob HE general from Munich, Germany.
I would like to solicit your help to understand and eventually break one of our most widely
used and respected comp packs, namely Combat 8.1.
You can click on the link below for an English version of the full rules, if you will, but knowing how
much most people like reading these days, I'll do my worst at providing a short, high-elf centric
overview.

The reasons for creating such a topic are the following: first off, there is a hope that some of you out
there who enjoy comped games might feel tempted to try out something fresh in the last days of 8th.
Additionally, it would be interesting to find out what you guys think on the system as whole, where you
see problems and what you think fair and reasonable. What armies and what kind of strategies and
game plans in general would you exspect in such an environment?
Obviously, the Cartman in me would also appreciate some pointers on what your ideas on good HE (and DE)
builds within these restrictions might look like
.It would be great to get your input, and we have all sorts of dudes on this forum: players
from all around the globe,hardy veterans, doe eyed noobs, savvy tacticians, world class players,
trolls and even one of the original guys from the Combat team, Gwydion who isnt only an excellent painter,
but also a very accomplished German tournament player.
