Max out your light infantry and screen your medium and heavy inf. Advance as fast as possible. Remember your light inf only has one job and that is to protect your medium and heavy inf from being shot. You should win most of the time.

I agree completely with klay. Kudos to Pete and RBS and Slitherine for my favorite challenging and historical online game. Looking forward to next season.

2nd Round harveylh - Sassanid Persian 591-628 AD defeats nyczar - Scots 50 BC - 476 AD, 61-59 Can't get much closer. A very good game. Great use by nyczar of his light chariots on a somewhat constricted battlefield and was nearly the difference. I sure hope I don't have to face light chariots next r...

Division A harveylh - Jewish Revolt 66-135 AD draws with NikiforosFokas, Scots-Irish 50BC-476 AD, 52-44 Tough game fought on a map filled with rough terrain, woods, hills and marsh.

Division A harveylh - Jewish Revolt 66-135 AD defeats MikeC_81 -Arab City 300-633 AD , 62-28 Terrain favored the Jews which made it difficult for Arab lancers to flank them and I was afraid our game would end in a draw because the lancers were a threat to the Jewish battle line moving forward for ha...

Here are my matches in the FOG2DL this season and how I feel luck has been a factor. This is just my view and my opponents may feel differently. :wink: Themed Event 1. Won v hidde - moderate good luck 2. Won v Triarii - balanced game 3. Lost v jjaquemond - balanced game 4. Lost v rexhurley - very b...

This game is doing my head in again. I stopped playing over 6 months ago and have only played in the FOG2DL since then if someone has dropped out at the last minute. I won't be doing this again, and if you see me putting my name down as a reserve again you all have to remember this post and tell me...
