I expected a little more comments about the generals issue I proposed? I was wondering what other people had to think about the points I raised? Especially if they are exactly the same for all armies, why should anyone need to pay for their first three generals??? I considerate identical lost point...

Greetings I like the idea of a FoG TNE. We would need a separate thread per army discussed but that would seem to make sense. This might also evolve into something that list notes could be created from. I really would like to see something like TNE done for FoG - TNE has proved very useful - you hav...

List to use for Edward IV and Henry VII French expeditions
Greetings The core units for these two expeditions to France are probably the dismounted knight/bill and retinue longbows from the WoTR list with artillery (expressly mentioned and favourably compared to Burgundy's for Edward IV's 1475 expedition). Any thoughts what other options a 'national' as opp...

Greetings From immediate off the top of the head thoughts. 1. Troy - in D Day terms it's only 'Funny' was a WVGI (Wooden Vehicle Greeks Inside). 2. Marathon 490 BC - although in the battle the ships could be a camp - Mykale was an assault on the camp so probably wouldn't count 3. Sphacteria 4. Sicil...

Greetings I presume you mean Magister Militum with their Navigator figures? IIRC they have some sort of special offer on at the moment reducing the cost of their 25mm figures. See http://www.magistermilitum.com/news.asp I've dealt with them at shows for their 15mm, 10mm and ship ranges and find them...

Greetings I've gone through this thread in some detail - more for consideration as to home games than for any suggestion for a change to the published rules (see richard's post above). Let's assume a 'house rule' of allowing an intercepted unit to 'step forward' even if charged in flank or rear (pre...

Greetings A limitation of the game system is also that there can be only one BG of elephants (IIRC) whereas the indications are that Pyrrhus may have used them on each wing and I would like to simulate this on the tabletop. Surely a limitation of the list rather than of the system? For scenarios you...

Greetings Where are you getting your book from for it to be delayed until late April? You haven't ordered it with a yet to be released book have you? I am not sure Rise of Rome is going to help you with the precise looks of Pyrrhus' army - it provides a list of troop types, range of bases per BG and...

Greetings I notice that Andy has moved from 205 to 209 posts since I first saw his post :-) If you are interested in post counts you have to watch for the culling of posts after a while to free up space which in at least in some fora is done and reduces post count. I'd hope we are judged on how cons...

Greetings Greetings I wonder whether the Roman view of the Numidians in the Punic Wars was coloured by the comparatively poor cavalry available to them? Generally the earlier Roman armies do not seem to have coped well with light horse of any description and had to use allies to address the issue. R...

Greetings One of the things about thinking 'has my BG lost?' (rather than won) is that it is probably not a thought process that people will have come across in other rules so it takes a bit longer to become an automatic reaction. I imagine when it does it flows pretty smoothly - those who have play...
