Thanks to my university having the day off and my wife having to work, I was able to show up to the local game store today and get a couple games in. It had been a while since I was able to go to the game store and play against someone other than Dawson. The main thing was, I got to meet some new people and had a good time. Though there are a lot of people there I wouldn’t want to hang out with, I met a few that would be good to get games with. Those I would hang out with were mostly Military. Its good to see military playing 40k and its good to meet new people to play against. It gets old real quick playing against the same people every time.
So, nothing totally enlightening or special, just wanted to say, go out and play with new people from time to time. I am going to try and work it in a bit more in the future. I think it helps you build your strategies. If you play with the same person over and over, it becomes nearly second nature to predict their moves. By playing against new people, you are forced to think through the multitude of possible ways a game can go.
