The three 2x2 blocks all wheel through 90 degrees, but still end up in contact with each other ?

Maybe I snuck in a cheeky contraction somewhere along the line too...
As each BG will have had to wheel separately to get where you got them they cannot have moved as a battle line - see page 30 and p75. The ending in contact is not relevant, it appears to be something you have invented as a criteria (in that they must be in contact throughout).

And any contraction takes you out of the Advances section which means it cannot be done by a Battle Line - see page 41.
aaah - its a subtle implied bit. "Battle lines are limited to moves from the advances section" - as in, a battle line makes a move, not the individual units within it. I get it now...

Hardly implied IMO, quite clear - plus the definition of Battle Lines (P30 IIRC) helps.

I was thinking of this and smiling to myself whilst watching Mr. Porter explaining some subtle feature of the rules to his opponent this morning :D

Aaah - I thought I'd tidied all those up.

It was actually E. Hungarians, but I'd put Byzantines in the first draft of the script

In search of Early Hungarians...

Tim,

I also don't see an 800 AP Early Hungarian list that appears to match these mythical Early Hungarian nee Byzantine opponents.

Hmm, mythical armies, mythical battle reports, Elivis, Tim Porter. Sounds right to me

putting the arg into argumentative, except for the lists I check where there is no argument!

I'm pretty sure they were Chris Johnston's Early Hungarians - however I think he gave me the printout of his army list rather than me writing it down.... and I lost it! If you look on the Roll of Honour it shows it was the army that placed 4th at Hubcon (thanks to the 16.4 : 8.6 victory I handed them in the last game!)

I've changed the reference on the last page too now.

I hoe you are all satisfied now :cry:

As its snowing/freezing and so I can't spray varnish or undercoat a load of 28mm TYW figures, or undercoat 15mm TYW Pike & Shotte, a Louis XVI French Army, some WW2 GI's and large number of 15mm Sarmatian lancers, thats probably what the Christmas break is for....
