I need a bit of help please. Is there an accepted way of mapping FOGAM troop types to FOGR?
I remember seeing some posts about mixed AM/R tournaments it but can't seem to find them.
What I'm contemplating is using the FOGAM lists with FOGR points & rules so that all the 15th century armies I have hiding in toolboxes can get a run out. I'm not going to invest in FOGAM v2.0 just for the occasional game and haven't played v1.0 for a couple of years.
If there's anything other than troop types I should take in to account please let me know.
Thanks.

Re: Using FOGAM armies with FOGR
Using your thread and some database technology I've identified the few areas where the two don't match exactly or you have suggested a solution for the drilled/undrilled split:
Did you come up with anything for Cataphracts? Heavily armoured cavalry with light lance perhaps? I'm not too concerned about the absence of a FOGR category for chariots.
Looking at the weapons the unmatched are:
I don't think the spear is a problem and your 1400 date for knights to use heavy lance looks spot on.
Right off to do a couple of lists.
Code: Select all
AM RE (matched) RE (unmatched)
=== === ===
Cataphracts - -
Field defences - Field fortifications
Chariots (Heavy) - -
Chariots (Light) - -
Chariots (Scythed) - -
Heavy Foot Heavy Foot Warriors (Undrilled)
Inspired Commander - Great Commander
Knights - Gendarmes
Medium Foot Medium Foot Warriors (Undrilled)
Looking at the weapons the unmatched are:
Code: Select all
AM RE (matched) RE (unmatched)
=== === ===
Firearm - Arquebus
Lancers - Light/Heavy lance
Longbow - Bow
Pikemen - Pike
Spear (Defensive ) - Spear
Spear (Offensive) - Spear
Swordsmen (skilled) - Swordsmen
Right off to do a couple of lists.

Re: Using FOGAM armies with FOGR
A few years back we did a WOTR civil war using FOGR.
The relative cheapness of bow made the armies much larger.
We really enjoyed the game.
