Former theoretical particle physicist in his mid 40s that dropped out of science. Now doing some light data analysis and statistics as a Risk Controller.

Started playing first edition in 2013 on Vassal late in the evenings when our kids where sleeping. Learned a lot from I like Tau and Uncle Europe who hanged around Vassal quite a lot at that time. Started playing the app later on and even played in some of the tournaments. Took a break when the support for the app stopped (around 2018, 2019?) and started playing second edition in May 2022.

Sunderved and the Mountain Vargath where my favourite faction in first edition. Selundar a close second. I liked all offensive factions except for Tundra Orcs and always had the ambition to show that is viable to play offensively. Factions which are more on positioning and more calculable are easier for me since I am coming from a chess background and I am pretty bad at hand management. (In general second edition is more difficult for me. Not only I grew older but I have the feeling second edition is less predictable than first edition.) In second edition up to now I don't have a clear favourite but the Avians seem to best fit my simplistic approach.
