In spite of your good advice, I managed to get the Seluecid army totally destroyed yesterday. Bad initial deployement, poor terrain selection, and horrid die rolling all contributated to what went wrong. It was, however, a learning experience, so i guess it wasn't all bad. Thanks to everyone who pos...

I am a new FOG player and will be playing my first Immortal Fire game this Sunday, putting my Early Successor Seluecids up against the Galations. Do any of you experienced FOG players out there have any suggestions for army composition and other advice on how to play against the Galations and use my...

Well team, the great campaign game against the Swiss took place this past weekend and ended in a draw. The Swiss had 6 blocks of superior pikes, 2 units of LF Xbow, and one unit of LF handgunners. I took 1 unit of SK, 2 units of Cav (Skezlers), and 9 units of LH (bow). The Swiss set up in a small ar...

Fulgrum,

Thanks for the comments. I agree that this may be a boring game, but it is part of an ongoing pan-europe campaign we are running, so not losing is not a bad thing as it preserves my army. that said, i am trying to find a way to "beat" him since I can take his provinces if i do.

Team, I did not get the chance to face the Swiss this weekend so it will, hopefully, be teed up for the next one. I am going to continue to heed your advice and work on the list from Richard. Still trying to figure out what to do with the foot archers since that seems like just putting out something...

I think we will be facing the Swiss this Sunday, so should be able to report back on whether or not I could execute per your great advice.

Thanks all for the tips. Greatly appreciated. For those that suggested firearms, I only wish i could. Unfortunately, I am stuck with the Middle Hungarian list due to the campaign we are running, so they are out along with the Allies. Keep the suggestions coming and I will let you know how I fare.

Thanks Marc. Based on the date we are playing (1431), he will have to have 24-120 bases of superior pikeman, up to 24 bases of superior halberds, up to 8 LH xbow and up to 8 bases of LI, bow. Not alot of options, but plenty of good heavy infantry. In a 600pt game, 6 blocks of 8 BG units costs him 38...

I am a new player to FOG, but am familiar with pike/halberd armies from other rules/historic research. My questin is this: using FOG, what is the best method with a Hungarian army (mostly knights, LH, and other cavalry (bow, spear, SW) to fight them? We are using 600 pt armies and i expect to have t...
