I did my first Flank March last weekend. As we deployed I did what I thought was correct, but couldn't find guidance in the rules. I had an 8 battle group army, so 2-2-2-2 deployment. My flank marching BGs were in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th deployment positions. I lost the initiative roll.
I placed my ...

Hello,

Having been reliably informed that there are no rules for ancient sieges (nor are likely to be), I wondered what rules could be improvised for an attack on walls. Do any of you have any?

Thanks!

Off the top of my head....

Every 40mm of wall is a "stand" of wall.
Have a ...

I think this thread is more about play ground name calling than anything else. Normal people need not worry about it Scot.

Ok, Put a Smilely on it so we can all join the fun :D

I'm surprised you he was able to find it in stock. The moral high ground was purchased long long ago in America ...

In a (very) recent game we had just determined which side had gained the pre battle iniative, at which point my opponent wandered over to a terrain stand and bought some terrain specifically for the game.

Is this legal? And more importantly is it morally acceptable?

Personally i think the player ...

That video is the one that I found (the one that was "incomplete"). They talk about some strategy, but not too much about game mechanics.

I added my location to the profile (near Des Moines, IA, USA). Would still like to hear more!

I don't have much tournament experience (2). But in games I generally hand my list to my opponent durring the deployment and call them out as I place them down in my quarters. aka "this is my LH, superior, bow swordman...this is my Armored Cav, Average, Bow, Swordsman. It's there on my list that I ...

Only by doing legal formation changes. They can't just shift around as there is nothing in the rules to allow it. So contract and then expand again.

Are you saying that if they saw this threat while still active in thier own movement phase, they could not move the two back bases from the left ...

We've got a campaign going right now. We have a mechanism in place to let the player's decide when the numbers are "too much" to be overcome by brilliant play or other advantages.

Here's how it's written in the campaign rules:
Fighting Withdrawal
If a player finds themselves facing a dramatic ...

It wouldn't really but at least the cheeseeologist would be able to add that the fortifications were in front of the BG as well as it being behind. So at least he was defending them.

It would "spoil" the cheese if they had to face the fortification. The whole purpose of such a move would be to ...

Hi Scot

Why don't you assign each hex as a Territory Type found in FoGAM rules pg 139 e.g. "Developed", "Agricultural", etc. then take the amount of selections within the table and convert these to percentages for each Territory Type?

(EDIT): You may also take the compulsory selections into ...

I’m toying with the idea of building a mechanism to facilitate large battle generation. Where multiple players working in teams come together for a battle on a large tabletop, but the direction of approach and timing of arrival of forces is determined strategically versus at initial set up. The ...
