Phsyche outs

While I was playing 40k yesterday, I realized something very interesting. Now in this game, I had added to my army The Nightbringer. He is basicly the best unit in the game. He is definetly not un-killable, but my opponent seemed to think so. He gave him an exteremely wide birth, and he never enen tried to attack. I then occured to me that, maybe, I had phsyched him out to the point where he thought his only defense was to run away. This huge fear of The Nightbringer handed me an easy win, and I think this could apply to other games as well.

Lets say your up against some guy who is ranked number 3 in GoW. You might not even try to attack him, even if you have a heavy advantage. This gives him an even further advantage, and this can really criple. If this happens to you or your teamates, remember one thing: stick together. The best player probaly can't kil 3 average players. If this dosnt work, then you are pretty much screwed.

In conclusion, do NOT get phsyched out.

Interesting, sounds like a good strategy. I don't know if it applies to GOW though, because of the fast paced nature, most just tend to charge the opponent regardless of the situation.

No I think it applies to GoW, as I was playing ExMaYhEm and he was really good. No one on our team attacked him. Needless to say, we lost due to that.
