When the second rank is archers, do they still count as supporting....I.e 4 dice plus 2 support archers fire, or only the 4 impact dice?

A charge contacts the first and 2nd ranks of a unit, not in a melee to its front. How many dice in the impact?
2 as only one file fights or 4 as two elements are contacted?

A unit of Knights charges two cavlary unit in a single lines, both cavalry evade. One of the evaders roles low on the VMD and is caught then broken in Impact by the Knights. The broken unit then routs further than it's friend initial evade move. The charging unit pusues and would catch the 2nd evadi...

The original charges will still step forward with the uncontacted bases. Making them fight both units if that's your intention.

The gamesworkshop matt is nice if you can get one. 6x4'.
They don't snag so sliding bases is easier to move losts of troops about.

Foot troops are not required to charge if they can be intercepted by Mounted.

This this count for the standard charge range only or count for VMD as well?

When shock troops are already fighting in an overlap are presented with a compulsory charge target...do they have to charge it (moving away from the overlap) or are they considered already in combat?

Some help on the ET shooting dice please. Do the rear corner shot bases in Early Tercio formations still count for shooting to the front, or can they only fire to side/rear dependant on the position of the 'horn'? I presume LT with 6 shot bases only fire 4 dice to front (2ranks) and can use the rear...

Quicker then paintingTartan.
Whats with all the waxed backs....'New Man'?

They're in the rules. Disorganise effects on Cav etc.

Do you still get the extra -1 for shooting into combat in V2?

Perfect I hate spaghetti pikes! Hole in pocket.

Are the pike separate wire or cast in hand?

Flavour, uniquness, quirk, fun. All reasons to get them in. Unless all you intend to do is play comps...Don't choose safe, choose fun. MF version. I'll admit I also have 'Poor war wagons Bow' in my Indian army for fun factor too, they've not fired once yet in three games...but they will and it will ...

Triarii, are HF Armoured Superior offensive spearmen. 2-4 bases per battlegroup. Upgrade to Elite in superior legions, or down to Average/protected in Raw legions. Most pikes are HF, protected, Average, pike. 8-12 bases per battlegroup. Some limted superior and more raw types. Never Armoured. Cartha...

Lovely job. I do like the three colour sheild patterns. Amazed at how many variations you've got in. I run out of ideas after about two shields.

Ian, We play at Maidstone on every second Saturday. FOG gets played about every other game day, so about once per month. If you fancy coming down for a game give us a buzz. http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/mws/Diary/Diary2012.html

Staying with V 1.
Don't play in competitions and supply both armies so mismatches are minimised.
It's brought Ancient gaming back to my club....so perfectly happy luddite.

Can I have both elephants, lt, hvy chariots AND carts provided I stay within the list limits for all the above?
i.e. 6 elepant bases, 4 lt Ch, 4 hvy Ch and 2 carts?

Yep the legions represent both Romans and allies fighting/eqipped in the Roman style.
Italians fighting in the non-Roman style are the optional troops Extraordinarri and the lighter Italians.
