Except they didn't - its a myth based pretty much on the McNeils.andy63 wrote:
Also lawrenceg mentions Grahams Dom Roman swarm,something got to be done about this army, its so powerful and hard to beat.You may think i am whining which i probably am but all i think you need to do is make the Auxiliary BG min 6 not 4.
Otherwise its going to get like the days when the DBM Patrician was the army what most of the top players used all the time.
Some did whilst others used things like Ugaritic, Fanatic Berber, Medieval Portuguese, etc.
Yup, played that with the Hepthalite Huns (which whilst interesting I don't think are a great army) and drew (well 9-11 IIRC due to number of BGs in the army). I can see how it works but it wasn't so fearsome that it needs defanging IMO.
I am not alone on this people like Bruce Brown voiced the same opinion at last years last round of the SOA doubles.
Excellent player (Graham) + Dominate = very very good combo - but not used much by others in comps as yet.
As I said before if it turns out to be too good when Joe Spod uses it I agree something will need looking at, until we have such evidence I'm happy to let it roll. Also as I said before I suspect that when used by Joe Spod the issue with it may be it is hard to break rather than it wins all the time (like the old Patsy) - mind you I've broken 19 BG armies with 12 BG ones so maybe not.
