Bloody difficult but

I only have played the game two days which might do the trick. Still too much thinking in RTS style. However just some remarks to an otherwise GREAT piece of work: The garrisons of the towns of Benouville and Ranville were actually "overrun" by some Jeep born Para/Engineers. It seems that ...

You could of course try a 20mm figure or even better a 15mm figure on a elevated base. It would not stand out as much as a 25mm figure but on the other hand it would have the benefit that you would not need to provide tournament organisers with a declaration of sanity each time you want to enter :lol:

I find this an interesting discussion due to 2 things. First is that I think the discussion more or less makes clear to me that FoG has much more realism into it than I expected. The role for LF seems to be spot on in regards to their real life battlefield role. And historically cavalry just was not...

Why would any army be more suitable to get a win then another. I would say that it depends more on how you use any given army and are able to see its weaknesses and strenghts. If you are a player that wants to get stuck in with hard hitting infantry then it would be a rather dubious choice to pick a...

Okay so I have 9 "Elephants".
So rebasing 8 "Elephants" would be a good move.
That way I would be able to do 1x8, 2x4, 4x2 BG's
Or would 3x3 also be an option for "Elephants".
In which case rebasing them all would be handy.

You may want to check out the Gladiator miniatures starter armies.There is also Chariot Miniatures. Well to be honest, someone that is happy with Essex is probably not going to like Chariot. Altough very nice figures they are pretty fragile especially compared to Essex. I dont know other ranges fro...

Elephant Battlegroups

Hi all, Since I am not sure if I would need to post this here or in army design this seems to be the more logical question regarding Elephant BG's. At the moment I am anticipating the rules. However since I am also rebasing my undead fantasy army for use of FoG I am not sure what to do with these. A...

He Coyote,

I would suggest making one base per BG a "command" base.
That way you can add your character figures.

As with all crossbow, it's only so-so at best. The better the armour of the opponent, the less meh they are. My protected/sw/xbow seem to do fine against non shock troops. Though they do very little actual shooting HMM, THAT is actually very weird ! X-Bows actually had the punch to pierce plate arm...

Re: My 2 cents

However, looking at Skeletons, it's appropriate in a Jason and the Argonaughts kind of way to have the Skeletons as Med / Heavy Foot and why not give them swordsmen skill - they seemed pretty damn good on the film! Well I have made up my mind for the basing: Zombies as mobs Skeletons as medium infa...

Hi guys, So it seems that most of you seem to think Zombies = Hordes Skeletons is still a bit a doubter but I think I will be going for the Medium Infantry since it conveys my idea of Zombies a bit more than Hordes (dont ask me why I have not found any written of other proof :wink: ) Rebasing will b...

Fantasy Undead and basing ?

Hmm , I know :oops: , But nevertheless I would like to ask the following; I have in my possession a large undead army based on 6x3 for Warmaster. However since I am getting very interested in FoG I would like to rebase them for it. I would still be able to play warmaster with them in civil war again...

Hi sean, Altough I have not played FOG or even have the rulebook in house yet (Yeah I know I am working on the issue :oops: ) I would like to comment on your dilemma. First off altough it seems tempting to start redoing the army etc etc it might be a good idea to look at how you fought the battles. ...
