I really love this old game, and definitely prefer it to FOG II;
but as the screenshots, in the promos make clear the sprites on the game map, look nothing like their source models in the manual. I'm sure I would get a lot more play out of this game, if the devs gave us the option of using Counters ...

Update: My cataphracts disordered some Praetorian Guard on first contact so they did well!


Cool.
I would say my Favorite set of Rules, and its quite old but would be TTGames Shock of Impact. I think it struck a good balance between speed of play and level of detail. Unformed Melee could get to ...

I am not looking for a Force that can Rush in and Murder things, I am interested in as accurate recreation of Ancient Combat as I can find.

Certainly one of the most consistent aspects of combat through the ages from Cannae to Waterloo was while infantry could present a firm hedge of spear points ...

You would not want my review anyplace else.

Massively disappointed in the Game Play, Cavalry are under powered to the point of being nearly useless. It does not take many rounds of a Player encountering situations like Cataphracts being disadvantaged against Medium (lightly armored and Loose order ...

Thanks Mouse. Enjoy the rest of ur Weekend.

As some of use have a pretty substantial investment in expansions like immortal Fire. Two questions.

1. Will I be able to load Immortal Fire scenerios into the new app?

2. As Unity is painfully and obviously incomplete; took me about a week to figure that out guys. Do you plan to continue ...

I know the unity version does this for sure and it really spoils a scenario or a DAG, really needs fixing.

Your right micha, Now that I have 1.8 the map is where it should be, when I play with the Unity version I just zoom in and uot and navigate with the arrow keys, I like that better and dont miss the mini map much at all.

Thanks Mouse, Down Loaded 1.8 today, pretty sure Im going to be happier with it;
I'm pretty new and have bumped too often into you should be able to ... but cant; so I dont see much room to argue with you,
FoG Unity has not even replicated 1.8 yet and Im going to bet with FoG II Launching soon It ...

If like me you have down loaded and Purchased FoG Unity, only to find most people seem to be playing FoG 1.8
I thought I would post this to make your life simpler.

Your going to Need your Key from when you bought FOG

Past in the Key for FOG ...

To be clear I have seen BGs Evade, and sometimes they are caught up and take casualties and thats proper.
But they should not be trapped turn after turn by troops they are simply alot faster than. Apply a penalty after sure;
but some sort of Voluntary Fall back/Break off should be allowed ...

Thankyou Actually.

I'm quite new here, and Honestly thought Unity was the current patch; while I know a lot of people still use the pre Unity program.
I do intend to down load it next break as I have seen a good few YouTubes of it and I like that presentation better; and from what your saying
it ...

+1 Seems like a reasonable work around for now, still would like to see some scoring adjustment to BPs in the future.

I've seen this mentioned before Setting ones troops to skirmish or something,
There is nothing I can find in the Manual that explains "Setting" the troops in the current patch,
FOG(U) v2.5.02.1042 GM2e Release (mod) build 201606061435

Nor is there any Right Click menu or anything like that I have ...

I have a rather odd Schedule, I doubt I could do much PvP play; but I have several years experience over the board play with Ancients

Mostly with Shock of Impact, and Milgamex Ancient Warfare, and WRG 7; so my experience is with rules that focused on historical simulation vs
Sunday afternoon ...

God the Graphics are Gorgeous, I could almost believe the troops are real Mini's; I am so buying this the day it comes out! Due Props Guys.

One thing that bothers me about this game, because I have never seen this in any Miniatures Rules,

Is the lack of any sort of Fall back order, LI should be able to retreat through their supports before Heavy and Medium foot.
Their simply alot faster and if my Numidian Javelins dont want to melee ...

Beautiful screen caps looking forward to it!!

I've noticed that the mini map is down at the bottom RH side of the play area in alot of the Video's I've seen online
vs covering and crowding the play area top right as I get it.

Is there some setting Im missing, I would much rather it be out of play. Cant imagine how anyone would have thought ...
