Re: 15mm ECW baggage suggestions?

I used elements of the camp set from Blue Moon (purchased from Old Glory UK), which gave me a number of small vignettes (some troops sitting round a camp fire, a couple playing cards and some drinking, with a wagon (I think it was a Hallmark wagon from Magister Militum as I wanted a small wagon to f...

Re: Rule Tweaks for 2020

Since the rule changes we have allowed cavalry to turn and move without having to turn back again when they make a successful complex move test. It seemed reasonable and prevented a bad evade roll stopping them from shooting for the rest of the game. Si I agree that this should be a formal change. W...

Re: Hot Tip - Leaving Gaps For Evaders

The minimum gap is one base width. This can cope with BGs up to 3 bases wide (as they can contract by 1 base width on either side to get down to one base wide). For wider battle groups, a wider gap would be needed.

Renaissance Army Generator Error

The Beta 8 version of the Army List Generator has a minor error in it - you cannot choose any field fortifications as the cell is locked.

Re: Death of Generals

Many thanks Don
It was probably because it was in the movement section that I couldn't find it.

Death of Generals

I want to clarify something on the death of generals which I seem to remember reading in the rules but cannot now find. If a BG is destroyed in the initial pursuit, is the general killed automatically or can he move to the nearest friendly BG within 6MU if one is available (assuming he survives the ...

Thanks for this.
There appear to be pros and cons.

Which FOG-R Competition?

There are three of us considering coming across to the mainland from Northern Ireland for a FOG-R competition in 2018. It would need to be 15mm, preferably a 2 day event, with a trade show attached - if we're going to come all that way, we want to buy some new toys. We have a wide variety of availab...

QRS

Has anybody produced a Quick Reference Sheet which incorporates the proposed changes?
We are running a small competition in Belfast this weekend using all the proposed changes and it would be useful to have one.
If someone has, can they please post a link.
Thanks

Re: Points costs, revised proposals

Bow* are 0 points. Polish Noble Levy Cavalry have gained the ability to drop back and a better autobreak level and cost the same in this proposal as currently. I'm not sure they need to be cheaper. Don't forget commanded shot will also negate the effects of better armour. That's what I thought for ...

Re: Points costs, revised proposals

I assume that Elite Heavily Armoured foot should be 10, not 18. What cost are foot Bw* and Mtd Bw*? I see my Polish noble levy (Cv, Poor, Arm, Bw, Sw) originally 7 points and not worth it, which had been reduced to 6 (and might have enticed me to try using them) are now up to 8 points!

Re: Naval

To place a waterway, you need to win the initiative. In the majority of games Buccaneer's opponents will have a better modifier for their initiative. Therefore they will usually lose. Other armies with naval aren't as badly off. Even when you win the initiative, your opponent has a 1 in 3 chance of ...

Re: Proposals summary for playtesting

- Commanded Shot - It does make Commanded Shot better value with Determined Horse and Cavaliers though as more combat dice can benefit from the upgrade. Is that costed up right? Originally there had been a points difference, however, when the proposal was to add an extra dice for commanded shot, th...

Re: Early TYW Swedish armies

I Have run both Breitenfeld and Lutzen in the past using the current rules and they worked very well. The only issue I had was that the Commanded Shot appeared to slow the Swedish mounted attack down too much to match the timings of the historical battles. However, these battles did not consider poi...

Re: Bows

A 6 element BG of warrior/bow cost 30 points. A 6 element P&S BG costs 42. So how does the European army split the enemy fire when the enemy has 50% more BGs?

Re: Bows

The bow should still get one short range shot. If you move to 4MU, the bow get a long range shot. In your opponents turn, the bow will move to 3 MU and get a short range shot.

Re: Commanded Shot - proposal

Here is another suggestion about how CS could work for close combat. Adding CS to a BG makes them Protected and any file in combat gets the advantage of this. The effect of Protection would only apply against mounted (as in the rules as published) and would negate a - PoA (as published rules) or Be...
