Langrisser - Best game ever

Langrisser (Warsong)





This is the first ever game I've played. Well, not really the first, think that would karate on the ancient apple pc. Langrisser is the first RPG (Role Playing Game) that I've played and it's also the reason why I'm hooked on RPG games. It is still to date one of the greatest strategy games.

What sets Langrisser apart from others is its tremendous scale. Most similar games have you controlling between five and ten single units. By comparison, in Langrisser it's not uncommon to control over thirty units at one time, fighting against scores of enemies on a single map. The main characters are extremely powerful unit dubbed "generals". Each general commands a battalion of generic soldiers, and the two share an important symbiotic relationship with each other.





Some guy did a in-depth summary here

Can't wait for my Langrisser III to arrive.

Update: Langrisser III is sold out... Boo Hoo!!!

IPPT

IPPT at Khatib Camp





Took my IPPT on 13 June before my deadline on 14 June (Hahaha). Managed a pass with incentive.

Some points to note:-

Shuttle Run - 10.4secs (4 points)

Wasted time during the turns, should end before and reach for the sensors.
Time to achieve - 10.2 or faster

Sit-up - 39 (5 points) no sweat

Standing Board Jump - 216 (2 points)

Aiming point should be above and away from the board, have to tuck in my legs more during the lift.
Distance to achieve - 238 or further

Chip-up - 5 (2 points)

Basically have to improve upper body strength
Reps to achieve - 11

2.4 run - 10.36 (5 points)

Good effort (pat pat myself). However, wasn't exhausted after the run which meant I didn't push myself enough. The trick is to run fast during the start then keep the pace. Somehow I know my body will push itself to keep up. It's only 6 rounds.
Timing to achieve - 9.59mins or faster

On the whole, good job! Time to spend the 100bucks!
