Surely some of these aren't armies at all but are brands of chocolate bars. I saw about a week ago that this became available for pre order on Book Depository (about 140 days to go). Is there a list of the armies contained somewhere? ARAWAK CARIB AZTEC TRIPLE ALLIANCE ALLIES CENTRAL AMERICAN ALLIES ...

With a brilliant soundtrack!

Hello,

Is there anyone in the vague area of SW London/Surrey who is lacking an opponent for Fog Renaissance?

I am trying to design a relatively competitive Later Carthaginian army to take on a friends MRR or LRR.

Advice on composition would be most welcome.

I have a strong feeling that a 'Marston Moor' type option for Imperials with Poles ( or vice versa)will prove very popular indeed.

Several questions prior to a first game on Saturday.

1) Approximately how many points are the starter armies?

2) If playing a smaller than the standard 800 or so points should we reduce the tabel size or the maximum amount of terrain?

I am planning to rescue a never used Williamite DBRarmy from the recesses of my Tardis like cupboard.

I am guessing that in FoG it will largely consist of shot heavy pike and shot units and determined horse?

Very much so.

However:

Huguenots: Pikes, Cuirassiers [ HeavilyArmoured, Superior Horse, Impact Pistol, Melee Pistol], Commanded shot [Arquebus]

That raises an issue; does anyone make a decent 15mm Miller figure?

Great stuff as always, just a thought, but how far forward will the time travelling Hannibal go?

Two questions:

1) Do lance armed cavalry count as impact horse or something different?

2) Will I need to organise a baggage camps for my various soon to be FoG-R armies?

My Numidians might beg to differ.

Just a quick query.

I have just been offered 16 bases of musket armed Janissaries at a semi-bargain price; would that be too many for a mid to late Ottoman Turk army.

Would it be possible to sign up for the Beta Programme- I would like to have a go at the Oxford Doubles!

Just to let you know JD has given us the go ahead to host a renaissance beta doubles at the Oxford Doubles at the end of July, details under doubles on the BHGS website. Competition will be 900 point doubles, any army from the beta list Cheers Alasdair Is it too late to sign up for FoG Beta and tak...

Tournaments/competitions should just impose a 15 BG limit, after all that is the authors state is the upper limit.
'Armies should be made up of 10 to 15 Battlegroups'

That seems reasonable enough

Means more BGs in the army This is, unfortunately IMO, a bit too important. I, too, wonder if there is a better way to deal with army breaks that does not favor gimmicky filler BGs. To be sure, filler issues are not nearly as bad in FoG as they were in DBM (IMO), but the marginal value of cheap sma...

Would my Midianite Arabs count as lumpen proletarians and win the tournament automatically simply for having the chutzpah to turn up on table?
