You aren’t entitled to 90% of the game time just because of the army list you’re using. No, I don’t think a player should get more time simply due to their army construction. This way people can get a feel for what it’s like to have the clocks used in a game with at least one large model count army. We plan to do another stream soon featuring at least one “horde” style army, most likely Orks or Tyranids. Below you’ll find the first game we played using the Chess Clock, we played the game on 3-13-18, and it is Dark Angels piloted by Tom Malone versus Eldar piloted by Jeff Poole. In an effort to help FLG and ITC show just what games with a Chess Clock in 40k would look like TFG Radio agreed to do several live streams on Twitch using them and then port them over into videos on YouTube. Players generally give major pushback to the idea of decreased points levels as well so it isn’t surprising that we’ve found ourselves in a position where the ITC has released beta chess clock rules for 40k to be used in the top 8 and at top tables of tournaments. So, that would be a lot of work, and a nightmare to maintain plus it would be quite controversial. Neither of those solutions seems to make many players happy, with many players preferring to see a database made of players known to be a problem and track their issues combined with the imposition of harsh punitive measures against players who are proven to be issues based on this database.
There are two possible solutions to this problem, lower points, and clocks. Games finishing turn 2, 3, or even 4, is just not acceptable in a competitive environment.
By Slow Play, I don’t just mean players who intentionally play slow to win or gain an advantage but also those players who play slow and therefore have their games not finish to a natural conclusion. One that people have constantly observed but which little has been done to curb.
There has been an endemic problem with Warhammer 40k for several editions now. Before doing so finish this article at the very least. I know many of you probably want to jump straight to the comments to either deride the use of Chess Clocks in 40k or go fight those who will inevitably deride their use in 40k. Hello Warhammer 40k fans SaltyJohn from TFG Radio, and LVO head judge, here to share a video we did at TFG Radio showing the use of the new ITC beta rules for Chess Clocks in 40k!
