Good call, Phil! :D So thus far we have MMR & LRR Romans, Hannibal at Zama, and Late Achaemenid Persians. We can add the Principate & Dominate Romans as well. That is still a very small list, comprising some of the most tactically complex armies of the ancient world. To return to the original topic,...

The teppo was a Japanese adaptation of the Portuguese arquebus: http://wiki.samurai-archives.com/index.php?title=Teppo One of the best (IMHO) FoG AARs to date features a unit of Ii ashigaru armed with the teppo: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll269/wargameserize/fogargentina/sengoku0908/DSCN2631...

If by "reserves" we mean the intentional deployment of one or more large units held in the rear in order to exploit or fill gaps in the front line, or pick up enemy units who break through, then the practice was not at all typical for ancient and medieval battles. The Roman manipular and cohortal li...

IIRC, the original WRG basing scheme was indeed meant to reflect the fact that heavy infantry would have been deployed in denser formations than other troops. However, the FoG rules do allow for deeper bases or fewer figures per base than the stated norms (p. 127). So as long as the base widths are ...

Do you mean "if I cheat and add 2 Units of knights and some triple armed protected LH this army gets better"...? That might be a popular answer :wink: It might be indeed. :wink: However, I was thinking more along the lines of: "if the list was adjusted in future, to better reflect historical capabi...

The FoG rule book includes only four sample 'starter' armies (Mid-Republican Roman & Carthaginian, HYW English & HWY French). The army lists proper are published in a series of separate books, organized by period: http://www.fieldofglory.com/catalogue/
