Re: How to deal with cavalry (both for & against)
How you use your lancers in combo with horse archers is dependent on lists, terrain and opponents. My comments are very generalized. For example, with a mixed list, I might use the horse archers in commands of 3-6 and either attach 1-2 lancers to such, or keep the lancers in separate commands of 2-4...

Re: How to deal with cavalry (both for & against)
Lancers, even with a general, are not usually going to run down medium or heavy foot in good order straight up. More often than not in such cases, they will hit and simply bounce, assuming there's room to do so. Where they excel is dealing with already disrupted or fragmented foot, or flanking alrea...

Re: Field of Glory II - The Divisional Championships (TDC)-Rules
Rerolls have been part of TDC, and its predecessor DL, from the beginning and not likely to be dropped anytime soon. Some randomly generated maps are simply unplayable or unbalanced in favor of one army. Historically, it was very difficult to force an opponent to fight. Campaign narratives are fille...

The Digital League was the forerunner of TDC organized and run by stockwellpete. When he decided to close down, a number of us took up his mantle and setup TDC.

Re: How to deal with cavalry (both for & against)
If you check the old Digital League forums, you can find the data for armies used. Naturally, not all were used, and a few more dlcs were released after DL closed down, but it's probably the only such collection of data.

Re: Command Structure
You can't assign a SG to a light command as he is the leader of his own. Lights in a light command can only be rallied by the CiC ae he can freely join any unit in the army. You can assign lights to any other command, which is morel common in mixed commands. Lights in mixed commands can be rallied b...

Re: Command Structure
It really depends on the army and how many light commands the computer kindly/unkindly gives me. You can have anywhere from 5-7 command groups, depending on the generosity of the computer. If I don't have a lot of lights, I often dump all of them into one command, then use the spare light commands f...

Re: Field of Glory II - The Divisional Championships (TDC)-Rules
This is something which has been discussed by coordinators at some length in the past. The consensus is it is better to give players ample time to complete games at a leisurely pace and/or to accommodate real life demands on time. As noted by several, the Slitherene tournament time schedule is not l...

Re: How to deal with cavalry (both for & against)
I typically operate cavalry in 2-3 lines. I usually keep generals in the last line and use them to rally disrupted or fragmented units which have been driven back through the ranks or fallen back behind the first ones. You do need to be careful with generals attached to horse, as they can pursue way...

Re: Additional Generals
Unless playing very small battles, each side is allotted 4 generals. After purchasing and moving on to deployment, the AI will assign some generals at random and create some initial commands. Often they will not assign all of the available ones, so you will usually have one, sometimes two, you can a...
