I was playing a Swedish-Polish skimish and charged some Swedish horse at Polish cossacks whose backs were to a lake; the cossacks evaded towards the direction of the charge ending up behind the charging horse; the Swedes then turned 180 degrees to face the new position of the cossacks, setting thems...

Tim,

Yes, it's a good place to live, but a bit of a wargaming wasteland. I do get occasional games with a friend in Presteigne for which I'm grateful but I'm not aware of anyone else in the area.

Norse Irish relates to the time when Viking influences started to affect the native Irish, so some of the Donningtom figures have two-handed axes, which would probably not be appropriate for the immediate post-Roman period. I would think the spear and javelin armed figures would be suitable, though.

I've picked up digital FoG after a break, and in a couple of games noticed that when you it a unit in the rear, they disrupt but the number of combat dice isn't reduced - shouldn't they lose one dice per three in this curcumstance? Will this be fixed in the new FoG?

I'm in Ludlow and looking for opponents; I'm willing to travel reasonable distances or host games here. Any one out there?

Any one out there in the marches?

I drill the holes by hand using a small drill bit held in a pin chuck, the size of the drill depending on the diameter of the wire pikes you're using. This is likely to be somewhere around 0.7-0.8mm. Whitemetal has a tendency to clog the drill bit so go carefully and lubricate the drill - spit works...

utrinque51 - I received your pm and have replied.

I think they're definitely the Front Rank range. I had some years ago and the poses look very familiar.

I've got this wrong due to misremembering the TT rules; having reread them properly I see that the problem is not with the implementation of the game but with the operator! Early onset senior moment.

OK I accept that I may have got this wrong, but my impression is that lancers against steady spearmen comes out as even POA; if the lance POA does not apply, shouldn't the spearmen be at +?

I may be wrong about this, but it looks like lancers get the lance poa against steady spearmen at impact and swordsman poa in continuing melee. This is a difference from the TT game. Does anyone know the rationale for this?

Hi John,

Where are you in South Birmingham? I'm in Ludlow so we could possibly get together for a game if you're on this side.

Thanks guys.

Where are the runners and riders posted? I've had a look at the BHGS Britcon webpage but I'm not seeing them - probably just a senior moment.

Thanks for the pointer. I tried the search but obviously spelled szekler wrong!

Does anyone have a recommendation for good 15mm figures for these troops?

Thanks to everyone for their replies and help. Now to hit the websites to look at the figures on offer as recommended.
