Meaning of “Cheese”: using tactics, strategies, or exploits that are considered cheap, unfair, or require little skill to achieve an advantage or win. These tactics often circumvent the intended gameplay or difficulty, relying on loopholes, bugs, or imbalances within the game.
“ Bring your cheesiest army!” Sid said, “ I need to practise for Britcon tournament.” I sniggered, I’d beaten him before with my Bactrian cheese companions: lance and bow combination super troops!
How does one describe Sid? A man who is cunning, smart, a Machiavellian prince ( from Swansea?). As Alexander the Great kept a copy of Homer’s Illiad under his pillow on his campaigns, it is rumoured that Sid retains a copy of To the Strongest wargames rules under his duvet! This game was never going to be easy!
First came a river: difficult terrain across the whole table!
Well I had been truly out cheesed! A great battle plan from the maestro Sid and a plan that exploited my weak flank. I can’t really complain….. but, I will!!!!
Yellow card issued by Dux: overly competitive play🥺
