Maybe thats the idea?

So, anyone hear of any good alternatives for FOG? I prefer Impetus, and the Basic Impetus is free, so you can tell people to check it out and then sell them the proper version (with supps) when they like what they see. I heard the comments from a fairly well respected veteran of the wargaming scene...

Not sure about URLS's, but if you look closely Elelphants are a brownish colour and not grey, not sure why people paint them that colour

Just on a another note about 6mm, has anyone tried Rapier miniatures from Newline Designs?, just wondering what they were like height wise in comparison to Baccus

Cheers

I have to say I always find OG 10mm a bit of a pain, because for some reason they have made there strips some weird sizes so they dont fit in with any popular basing schemes, and some of the ranges you just cant snip the bases as half the figure comes away to

There is also AIM which are sold through minifigs US, Warrior miniatures in Scotland which are at the VERY cheap end of the market, and Scruby does some as well, Irregular also do some of the more unusual ranges some are good though

I think in Alfred the Great's time, any group of armed men of 35 persons or greater was classed as an army in Britain

I am going to use Parthians next weekend, just going to make up an amry list and see what happens, might be good might be bad, but it should be fun

FRom what I can tell most of the horses in the HYW period seems to have been a Shire type horse rather than the riding horses we see today, so te would have been a lot stronger,but probably not as fast Interestingly, in the Braveheart all the English Cav were actually the Irish Womens Cav unit, they...

Hi Spike

As your probably aware theres two fields at Battle, the official one and the one where the reenactments take place, when we were there they were saying that the one where the reenactment takes place is actually the battle site and not the one where thay have believed it was

Not sure about the UK but Essex in Australia have special deals on their English 100YW, I am presuming Essex miniatures UK are doing the same thing

With John Stallard being involved I am surprised it wasnt ECW or Zulu Wars

They look good just a pity they want to bring out yet another set of Romans, I understand why they are doing it, but it would be nice if they had started with something else, not sure what mind you though I'm sure everyone would have their favourites

Hi tom I agreee with you wholeheartdly

By the way I'm not sure if you made it down as I had to leave early,but you missed some interesting games of FOG at Ceasers Challange yeasterday, it realy inspired me to get things going for it

I was wondering what the rules are going to be if there are any special ones regarding shieldwalls , and if Norse troops and their opponents ( Alfred etc) would be classed as Drilled for the training they did in forming these walls under battle conditions?, and of course during the battles themsleves?

Its the same when you walk up Messines Ridge the others round Ypres, you think at the time is that it?, but when looking back you can see how far you are actually up above Sea Level

Thats what I was presuming

Thanks for that

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I am still in the process of reading the rules and just got to this bit

I was wondering what the reason was behind the - for crossbows vs Other foot?

Thanks

With the baccus stuff you'll only get enough for 4 strips per base for the African Infantry, I always like to use 6 to make it look like a unit of CO troops, just an observation so you may need to order more command strips etc to make up the units
