Evading is different to normal movement. Cavalry for instance can't normally zig-zag around obstacles, but they can do that if evading.

If you turn on line of sight, and your unit can see the enemy, can the enemy always see that unit? I have some hidden units and I'm wondering how I can tell when the enemy can see them.

That's much too mathematical for me, can't remember all those numbers, I just know what works, what ought to work, and what doesn't!

Mike & Chris, I am not sure if you are still around. But I have been rewatching your YouTube video stuff. Even more awesome after hard some time with the game! What a fantastic gift by the two of you to the community! THANK YOU. Thankyou, I lost my job, so I had to stop making videos for a while, a...

To learn more about generals, I suggest watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8O6s-LRcyU&t=32s I think all your examples are comparing armour. Actually the morale of the unit is more important than the armour, and a unit with average morale and "armoured" may lose to a unit that has vetera...

there's this on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/726630/Mare_Nostrvm/ but I haven't really played it much, it's production values are fairly low but it could be fun The problem with Mare Nostrum is that it doesn't have an editor, only a few scenarios, one campaign, and very limited terrain...

For those hoping for some naval action in the game, or a naval variant... it seems it can be done with 15mm figurines (using different rules of course) https://misternizz.wordpress.com/2020/08/03/galley-warfare-another-fine-plague-project/?fbclid=IwAR1c-_Mi1IbcuvhOhZbz6rRl7MY5sqXfxEHdkt6gEN5ClTPjTID...

I know that Richard is dead against equipping Medium or Heavy Foot with javelins. I can't remember exactly why, but I think it is something to do with previous problems with other rule sets that had this feature. Yes, "too much like 6th or 7th edn WRG" but massed peltasts didn't work as well under ...

Massed peltasts: protected medium infantry with light spear, 50% sword, and 50% javelins. (an alternative would be to make them bounce more often like cavalry if a charge failed) I've been trying out giving massed peltasts 50% javelin shooting in my updated Thracian campaign, and I think it works w...

Now - this is important - routed elephant unit will cause cohesion test in friendly units in range of 2 squares. So if there is a fragmented unit in range - it will most likely break causing additional cohesion tests in friendly units. With a bit of luck this in turn may cause multiple morale drops...

My updated Iphicrates campaign part 2
https://youtu.be/E-5YkNt7nuk

That's great, I had hoped that would be the case, it should happen in melee, too. Do light horse javelins also do better against elephants (so that it counter-acts being disordered to a greater or lesser extent)?

Note that javelins are no more effective against elephants than other shooting weapons - not how it should be, but I asked about that a while back and was told no, there's no difference between javelins and bows when shooting at elephants - unless you shoot with something like Cretan Archers or Immo...

I have updated the Iphicrates campaign to use the latest models and units. Here is part 1 of a video about Iphicrates and this campaign. https://youtu.be/HxJaBMZ9duY Each battle has proved to be rather difficult, though it may not seem so judging by my initial scores. Nevertheless I was able to get ...

This is part one of my series of reports on the Field of Glory 2 Iphicrates campaign. Each battle has proved to be rather difficult, though it may not seem so judging by my initial scores. Nevertheless I was able to get Iphicrates to beat the Spartans using an army of mainly peltasts and massed pelt...

The Field of Glory Agesilaus campaign has been updated (to V4). It includes a new battle, new armies, and new units/models. Here is an after action report for all ten battles, in three parts: Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF2YWLAv54M&t=8s Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcBmf-bCxys&t...

How do you determine when a player will have to put units into garrisons? Does a player have to had put units into a garrison in order to be able to get reinforcements if you choose a reinforcement option?
