It has been around a year since I decided to focus on Winter Guard Kommand and try to actually figure our how it works. I have played basically two different lists. One Stalingrad-style list under Irusk2 and one Gun Carriage based list under Vlad1 (in addition to a few variations of the themes). I think it is about time to evaluated how Winter Guard Kommand has worked, what is good and bad, and what I have learned.

Winter Guard Kommand under Vladimir Tzepesci, the Dark Prince's orders (Vlad1)
Vlad is a Winter Guard's second best friend after Irusk2. Where Irusk2 keeps them alive to fight another day, Vlad1 makes them fight today. This post details my approach to Winter Guard Kommand under Vlad1. As a special treat, this list contains two of the Empress' finest Gun Carriages. A marvellous addition to a WGK list under Vlad1.

Today's tip: How do I know which unit this random Winter Guard belongs to?
There are currently more that 50 Winter Guard models on the table when Irusk commands his WGK list. This is a well and good during deployment, and perhaps during the first turn. But what to do later on when the table is a complete mess of Winter Guards from six different unit all mixed up? I have opted for coloured base markings, here is how and why.

Revisited: Winter Guard Kommand under Supreme Kommandant Irusk's orders (Irusk2)
Irusk2 is still a Winter Guard's best friend and Stalingrad-style lists are fun. However, over time Irusk has learned that the original list had its downsides. First and foremost, there is a lack of ARM-cracking ability. This is an attempt to remedy some of the problems, by changing the list to include the Greylord Adjunct and the triple Marauder battle group.

Today's tip: Weapon Crew escaping from annoying opponent
A friend of my gave me a brilliant tip the other day. Our marvellous knockdown on a stick, the Field Gun tends to be engaged by my opponents to avoid the knockdown issue. My fellow Kadorian pointed out that there is a rather cool way of getting out of the engagement.
