Maybe a combination of both?

Define wealthy. The information is so limited to be almost non existant. And what evidence is there of leather armor? Linen seemed more available and if glued into multiple layers, seems hjust as viable an armor as leather or bronze and a lot more comfortable and cheaper.

Probably most "campaigns" between the Greek City States were short affairs. I also wonder what the "Average Joe" wore. If you were wealthy you could affort the expensive leather/bronze armour, but for an average citizen what was the cost benefit of bronze vs leather vs linen armor>

The Hoplon (shield) probably could take the impact of a spear thrust, or at least divert it over/away from the target. As far as heavy leather Linothorax- once you had set up a system/mass process of glueing the cloth together would seem to be easier and cheaper than the thick leather which would re...

Graham- I thought the same thing as far as Central American armour. Of course having a shield would deflect the sword blows. Perhaps the hoplite swords were more made for cut/crush than the Spanish sword thrusts.

How to Make Your Own Greek Armor Posted by Joshua Rothman 06/27/2014 Intellectual life thrives on mystery. When it comes to ancient Greece, one of those mysteries is the linothorax—the flimsy-looking, hip-length armor that you see warriors wearing on Greek vases. (Linothorax means, literally, “linen...

I have created several army lists for the War of 1812. If you are interested, send me an email and I can send them to you:

-United States
-British Army in Canada
-British Invasion Forces in Carribean and North America

Terry-players just need feedback from you/Slitherine.

A: "Simply , all rule sets are flawed." V: Shouldn't stop authors for sending out revisions. I played DBM, and extremely popular game that underwent many revisions, revisions that probably added to it's popularity and forcing players to try new armies. A:"There is no need for all the ...

I disagree- how do you grow a player base if the present published rules create such problems? All present players agree that the present rules are poorly printed and not very well edited. How do you entice new players if they face such rules? How do you sell them onthe rules if they look at forums ...

What if players (attacker first) alternately pick terrain pieces?

Also, what is the effect if you allow the same deployment rules as FoGAM or (more likely) FoGR?

It would be nice if people would post pic of their basing just to get an idea. For my French I did: (2x2 bases in battle column) .. FF | FF .. F=Fusilier, G=Grenadier, 1=Flagbearer, 2= Drummer, FFFF | FFFF 3=Officer, V=Voltigeur (one in front on first two bases), ..just empty space GFFF|FFFF GFFF|12...

I (would) use option "2" except I would only have two grenadier figures on the far right, and two skirmishing on the far left, or maybe have the skirmishers in front of (if you can squeeze them in) the main body of the two "center" bases. Option "1" screams out doing it...

Very nice looking! What other Nappy projects/ranges are you looking to do?

If the unit is caught in the flank or rear they drop one morale level at impact, unless the chargers are LH or LI.

Also realize that in most European woods, the brush and the debris has been collected by local villagers for firewood so the groundfloor would be pretty clean. Probably there would be some disruption of formations but as long as the platoons and companies stay relatively together, orders can be give...

Congratulations to Lee Cleveland playing 1809 Bavarians for winning the first Birmingham AL Field of Glory Napoleonics tournament! Everyone had a great time and play went smoothly without too many rules questions (considering it was our first time playing in a tournament format). A big thank you to ...

I believe it is two cav BG plus 1 Horse Artillery (making three) is the minimum....but I can be wrong.

If you are planning on attending, please contact me ASAP. Right now we have only us Bunnies....
