My French Republican armies in 1870-1871. Troops that are close to being as bad as the rules can possibly allow, pitted against rather competent Germans. Although the scenarios we fight are pitched to allow either side to win in game terms, I know that even if we win the game it's unlikely to be pretty for the garde mobile (or garde fragile as I like to think of them).

Bloody Big BATTLES!

Pretty much anything I'm in command of......

I don't have losing armies as such. But if cavalry involved then it dies horribly

Take care

Andy

Any army commanded by Rhys, a gaming friend of Pierre the Shy and I

His club t-shirt had the following on the back

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK until
a) they are all dead
b) we are all dead

Delete as applicable

Sounds like a ruleset with a very poor morale section!

Every bloody army I play as 

I'm with Plaindave and Tawa - let me try it - I lose with it. My all time favorite army to lose with, however,  were Ral Partha elves back in the late 70's.

It's cheating a bit, but in the game 'Battleground: Fantasy Warfare', a miniatures game in a deck of cards (the units are printed in a top-down illustration on the cards), my Lizardmen could not win a single battle. Despite formidable abilities and combat stats, even when my opponent graciously allowed me a bonus they could not make a single Morale check and usually never even got to enter a fight...

It started with Space Marines followed by Sisters of Battle, Lizardmen, Space wolves, Imperial Guard, 101st Airbourne, German Fallschirmjager, Late war Germans, Rebel Alliance (X-Wing).

Most of you will think I am a bad General but it's all the fault of the dice......................honest 

I don't have losing armies.

My dice on the other hand...

Hello FK

This is a hard question because I've always tended to Doomed armies and it's  hard to select a particular one. Memorable debacles include a Hun army that had a human avalanche and decided it would be better to be somewhere else - in turn 2!! Chinese cataphracts beaten by peasant archers taking the general and guard spears out . Hindu Indian army that was so unlucky it could get beaten up by the scenery. All disasters but giving me chuckles then and now

Cheers

Are you Big Alan from my club?! He has almost exactly the same story about exactly the same army, no possible way to lose, one lucky shot on one unlucky virtually unstoppable unit followed by a virtually impossible morale fail and the whole army cascaded off table...

For my own part it's Pharaohs Boys. Sweet jebus. The bloody Hittites duff him every time. What's worse is he's got a single overly competent sub commander (usually played by Sniper Al/Sniper Pixie if you know him) who can consistently shoot up, break up and counter charge the Hittite heavies EVERY BLOODY TIME and then looks incredibly smug as the other two thirds of the Egyptian army disintegrates around him. "It's not that hard, look, all you need to do is..."

Mind, in the one true scale I have Hittites and my club mate has Egyptians and she's narrowly lost every time to a combo of expendable screening Syrian javelinmen followed by the heavy mob. The Egyptian Royal Guard always punch above their numbers though, A class discipline with attached general mean they a/ end up somewhere really awkward for me, really easily, and b/ are tough as bloody nails.

I am not Big Alan but I feel his pain. In this regard we are all Big Alan .

Can we get that made up on t-shirts?

"We are all Big Alan".

Then we could go beat up a Visigoth.

Hmm, my Egyptian Royal Guard squadron, led by the Pharoah, yesterday attacked the Assyrian heavy chariots and had a flanking ambush of Sea People auxiliaries support them; and they got wiped out. My little lady is still gloating about it today, which is quite cute, really.

Visigoths are a peaceful people.  Only a tiny minority get the rest a bad reputation.
