While I originally found it on Reddit, it definitely deserves a re-post.  I admit it speaks to me.  IN SIGMAR'S NAME!!

^Haha!

In my current campaign playing as the Orks I'm on the pointy end of Karl Franz's spear.  Man I thought the Dwarves were tough but by Sigmar!

Heh.  None of the Empire LL's have the easiest start IMO (not even Karl or Balthasar), but they're a force to reckoned with once they gain a bit of momentum. 

(The Dwarves *are* also/still tough, however. ;) )

I totally screwed the Empire Campaign first time I played it.  :'(

Dude, I've probably screwed up my first 10-12 attempts at playing the Empire so far.  (You gotta keep up, man!)  :P 

But you know what?  Each time I play, I learn some things, get a little further in, and do a bit better on my campaign than I did the previous time.  And when I inevitably stumble and face-plant (sometimes in spectacular fashion), I get up, dust myself off, and start again.  It's all part of the process...and great fun.  8)

I'll agree with Martok on dusting yourself off and trying again when it comes to this game.  For some reason, for me at least, this game entices you to keep on trying.  Could be the subject matter but there you have it.   :)

Gah!!  I forgot to save enough Prestige so I could avoid the Wissenland crisis (stupid, stupid)!  #:-) 

Now I have to hope Franz and his men can hold off Eben von Leibwitz's assault(s) on Grunburg while Gotrek & Felix take their army and finish off the Empire Secessionists in the west, then return to help the Emperor launch a counterattack toward Nuln, Wissenland's capital.  Things are about to get interesting...

So there I was:  Emperor Karl Franz, beloved of his men, fighting a desperate defense at the city of Grunburg against von Leibwitz's invasion of my lands.  There's lots of back & forth, with the outcome of the engagement very much in doubt -- until towards the end, when I finally manage to turn the tide of battle in my favor...and then the goddamn game crashes.  >:( 

ARGH!!!  I spent almost an hour fighting that battle, damn it!  Gah!!  :buck2:

Heh, not yet.  There's plenty of Greenskins and Beastmen around to cause havoc in the meantime, however.  :P

I'm playing with the "Proper Combat Mod 2", which makes battles feel a little more tactical and less frenetic.  They also tend to take a little longer to play out (though usually not an hour like the above example), which I personally prefer.

It seems like, no matter who I am, the dwarves mess with me. It's like they Know...
