Hi,

here´s the result of Muwattali vs Thorsten

Muwattali won in turn 12

Thorsten won in turn 11

A very close run game with a lucky end for me.

The game between afroening and me endet with the allies on their way back to England. Or the USA. Or wherever.

Victory for me.

Hi Hammy,

you should have come. Not only table service (unfortunately only males servants), but a bar of a non-profit organization. Beer was around 1,50 € for half a liter (nearly a pint).

Thorsten

Moin Hammy,

ach was! Siehe oben.

Hi Simon,

true. Either the international relations AND the rule question. Our basic problem with the rules was the fact that we couldn´t find the rule in the book...

Thorsten

Hi Lawrence, we are nothing without you... Thank you again - I will look this up as soon as I am home. And thank you for your little english lesson. And to improve your german: "base "in german is "Basis", while "basis" is "Basen". A little confusing, isn´t it? The phonetic "ä" you heard with us is ...

Hi, when do you count troops as being "uphill" in FOG? We recently had the situation of a former 6th edition player playing a former DBM player with two very different ideas of being uphill. For the 6th-bloke uphill meant "charging downhill with at least a part of the basis (what is the plural form ...

Moin,

alles kein Problem. Wie kann ich denn mit Dir in Kontakt treten, ohne mich gleich in Deinem Forum anhzumelden?

Hi, counters - definitely. Having played Early Germans a lot (with lots of disordered / wavering / routing units) you need a good visual effect. We used markes in blue/yellow/red. I would like markers with single figures glued on (wounded / dead figures - like in Age of Eagles) even better. Thorsten

Hi,

we played Early Germans vs. Romans (Republican, if I remember correctly) three times. The Germans hardly ever managed to rout Roman units. And lost all games. The Germans look very impressive when set up - and when routing...

Moin Moin Richard,

I didn??t know you??re that deep into northern german dialect (ick hab nich wu??t dat du so dicke in noodd??tsch bis)!

Thorsten

Moin Simon, A good or bad thing in your view. Makes flank attacks less likely. Good thing (if you prefer playing infantry armies like me). Do you find much advantage to deploying second? I played the Germans. I NEVER deployed second... But it felt like deployment at DBM - it feels very uncomfortable...

Hmmm,

at the moment "Cohesion Test" sounds the proper name to me... Or what about "Vom Kriege" ? Not used as the name for a game before - as far as I know.

Thorsten

Hi there, here are our impressions on the first two games Martin and I played. First game was a "little" test with roughly 400 points per side with Alexander Macedonian vs. Early German, the second was a full 800 points game with Imperial Romans vs Early Germans. 1. Army size: the armies are surpris...

We are playing 800 points at the moment (usually Imperial Romans vs. Early Germans) and it takes us long - roughly 6,5 hours per game. If you deduct 2 hours per game for rule reading and interpretation we are still at 4,5 hours.

Thorsten

Hi Simon,

we??re playing about once a week. We??ll give our feedback next week.

Thorsten

Ok, only read Hammys introduction. My very first idea was: Oha! DBM is going back to WRG 6th edition. In detail: what I like is: - the idea of showing examples before explaining the details. And I like the stile (the "ouches" and "Ewww"). - the language. Very clear and precise. - the pressing forwar...

Aha,

fine. Unfortunately I am not into computers and do not understand a single word...

Thorsten

Hi Ian and JD.

received the data today. I am trying to print it: a nightmare. Takes literally hours. How can I speed it up?
