So are you guys saying that you have to measure each file to see if each is in range?

When figuring which files of a BG are eligible to shoot at an enemy, how do you measure the range? Is it only straight forward i.e. perpendicular from the front of the battlegroup? Or do you have to measure the actual distance, potentially at an angle, from each file to the potential target? We unde...

Unless these bow get something special I don't know about, shouldn't they only be getting four dice initially for impact combat?!?! Where does impact and shooting dice come from? Only the front rank get dice and then they lose 1 per 3 for being down, hence, lose one die there leaving 3 dice which ma...

Yes, bisecting the angle and the amount of movement is what caused us to question how to handle this as they were medium foot fighting HF to the front and MF to the flank. They got -2MU and the pursuers got normal and plus, so they easily got to them. With the turn and wheel, the router was still le...

It seems nobody is sure how to handle this situation!

We had an incident where one battlegroup was fighting one enemy to the front and a second enemy battlegroup charged the flank so that we ended up with TWO enemy battlegroups fighting the one at EXACTLY 90 degrees to each other. The single battle group ended up breaking and having to rout. This doesn...

gozerius, Thank you very much! That was VERY helpful! :) I just finished reading all the pages you referred and put everything together! I was able to fully wrap my mind around movement of the nonfront ranks and how they are limited! :) Thank you! This is an example of the only thing I find frustrat...

We have been searching high and low for a ruling in the rule book on movement of rear ranks without much success. The closest I can find is that the battlegroup must always stay in legal formation. This leads me to believe that a rear rank may shift during movement as long as the front rank move as ...

Why can't it shift like the front rank?

Hi! We are in the middle of my first game of FoG using Later Republican Romans and Numidians and so far it's a BLAST! :) So we have a couple of questions: 1) Can a BATTLE LINE shift one stand left or right during an advance or is this strictly limited to a BATTLE GROUP? 2) When both sides have a com...

In the game setup procedure #12 and game setup list on page 138, the fourth bullet says, "Record outflanking marches." Does this mean this is written down secretly by the side performing this march? When a side rolls for an outflanking march at the beginning of the impact phase, does the s...

Hi all! I've just recently obtained my rules for FoG and will be gaming this weekend with SMaul in my first FoG game. On my second read through the rules I have a question on Ambush setup... The way I read the dummy ambush marker section, I see the possibility of setting out ONLY DUMMIES! Is this co...
