Re: Warband underpowered
I believe warband don't do well under the rules because the troop types they did well against historically (average or even poor legions protected or armoured or Macedonian successors with a fair chunk of protected offensive spears) are rarely seen on the wargames table. In those match ups they are ...

Re: Warband underpowered
I'm not sure that those changes would be historical. Roman battles against warband armies tended to go one of two ways: - Romans swept away by a fierce charge. This tended to be Roman generals who weren't the brightest with average legions. - Romans manage to hold the first rush and they grind the w...

Re: Warfare 2023
Folks, I've just heard the very welcome news that Ferdi Akaltin is planning to join us at Warfare this year. It's been a considerable number of years since the Field of Glory competition at Warfare has had players from outside the UK attending. This does, of course, raise the issue of what handicap ...

Re: Gallic field fortifications - Book 1 page 77
1. "Plashed wood edge can only be used in plantations or forest." Do enemy troops fighting Gauls behind a plashed wood edge count as disordered or severely disordered (depending upon troop type)? They are contacting a wood edge but are not inside the forest. 2. "Wagon lager to protec...

Re: Routing when BG has enemy to the front and rear
Yes that is correct. the routing BG will turn 90, contracting if needed and then do its rout move. Of course, you then get the issue that the routing battle group can turn in one of two directions. If it can complete it's rout move in both directions (i.e. by turning left or right as it were) it is ...

Re: Turn sequence and tests.
