Another great Britcon, thanks to all who organised, played or in any way contributed. I am a lot less sceptical now than before and see the rules doing very well in the future. My reaction to six interesting games: 1. A camp should be worth either 3 or 4 AP`s, if you decide to take one. Presently it...

If anyone fancies an evening game, then I can either host, at Fleet, N Hants, or travel any reasonable distance if invited.

Please call 07809 573355 if interested.

Regards, Lance.

I am totally with Pete on this one, yes I was that peasant archer. The game is forcing all sorts of false conclusions by its own terminology. it seems to, me that the mounted, in the example given, are cutting down the foot in significant numbers, so what does it matter whether they are Disrupted or...

Unfortunately I haven’t had much time to post recently, although the practise games have continued. Time therefore to put some thoughts together. I apologise in advance if some points have been covered before but please take this as a personal summation. The Big Picture Revised layout of FOG is much...

Well you have got to be a little weird to use Unprotected Undrilled Defensive MF Spears! My comments upon the amount of luck that appears in many games is largely due to the way battles can so suddenly swing, which has been noted by the authors and significantly reduced throughout the newer versions...

Why is it only the bloody romans that have the widest range of troop types? There should generally be far more poor troops, especially for the undrilled armies, as compulsories within those lists, usually as a proportion of such types. I will not quote any relevant battles to start an acaedmic argue...

Cohesion tests for Routers and Dead generals. At the moment the critical distance for forcing CoH tests for the above is a somewhat arbitrary 3 Mu`s (as admitted on the Forum). As far as the death or incapacitation of a general goes should this sphere of influence match something like that of his po...

Battle Report ??“ Chaironeia, the sequel. I wont bore you with a dribbling tale of gross incompetence or delight you with a superb video nasty of all the exciting bits, rather summarise the results of the two games between Phillips` Macedonians and a Greek Alliance. The Greeks are big, I managed 18 ...

Pre-Usk Questions 1. Are Generals at risk from shooting, either when they are with a BG or not? 2. Superior skirmishers require other superior troops to their rear to rear to give them the factor for rear support? 3. Disrupted troops require a CMT to charge but not to walk into contact as a corner o...

The validity of rear support? This is a concept that I have struggled with from the start. I will have to argue the case generally so please consider the broader picture! Certain assumptions have to be made, but principally ancient warfare was Linear, so I would contend that having a secure flank an...

A single and simple question. In hand to hand combat what you fight, base per base, determines your POA`s. So in shooting what you shoot at, base per base, determines your POA`s? The example we had was a target unit of protected cavalry, 3 bases in the front rank and 1 in the second. These were bein...

Game Seven. Having played historical match-ups to date we decided to have free choice for this game for more of a competition style army (in 15mm). Trouble is we both chose Ottoman Turks! Pete had used them once before against me so we were aware of their ???form???. I managed to get 18 units out of...

Excellent, thanks for the reply, this will take away several areas of doubt.
The uphill question has been reworded by Pete.

I certainly agree and accept that Coh tests are key to the game system. But I still believe that tests resulting from combats can be forced, and failed, as the result of losing a combat result in a very minor way. What about only taking a combat forced Cohesion test if you suffer 2 more hits than th...

My Arabs were in single rank, so had two dice at impact and 3 in melee. I still believe that the effect should be far greater given the perfect charge - but accept that when a huge attack goes in the target will get broken very quickly- but why not? They could only drop two levels that phase anyway,...

Latest set of questions and problems, 23/12/6 Could future editions of the rules be formatted so that any changes stand out more clearly, in italics or bold or bullet marked? It would help us pick up on the ongoing revisions. It seems valuable to deploy half or more of your generals with skirmish li...

Table Size? OK we have only played 5 games, all historical match ups, but it seems that definite trends are appearing: Most of the terrain ends up in the flank/table edges areas ??“ Good Open area placement is too powerful? ??“ Bad? Deployment is so flexible and open to serious gamesmanship ??“ Bad ...

Fifth Battle Report- Carthaginians in Spain V Gauls. Lots of open space in the central 80% of the battlefield with all significant terrain well out to the flanks. This suited the Gauls as they had Heavy Foot, although they were concerned about the open flanks and Carthaginian LH. 6 Numidian LH shot ...
