Thats a really nice board. The tree's look like woodlands scenics, but yours look good. Very nice variation with the flock and such. Beatiful board.

I am going to paint a Persian army after I finish my greeks, and love the look of foot, so I was curious about their hoplite numbers since I want some foot that can face my greeks with a little bit of a chance. I think I will paint the army to include some medinizing greeks. Thanks guys for the poin...

I thought about 1 BG of MF, but my reasoning on not getting them was that most/all period armies I face have better medium foot then I do, so they would most likely be able to kill my Thracians in rough terrain. My plan for dealing with MF in rough terrain is one of two things: 1) Ignore them. 2) If...

Early Persians

In the early Persian starter list in Immortal Fire it lists two units of armored Hoplites 6 strong, but reading the army list there are only options to take 1 unit of 6-8, I was wondering which list was correct?

Unfortunately I can only have 18 total skirmishers as the Spartans without taking allies, which is why I went for three groups of six, other wise I would have taken quite a bit more!

I do like the way my Cv look but based off opinions I received here I think I will mostly be going for Hoplites supported by more...hoplites. Large numbers of Sup Drilled Armored HF just seems quite strong. I guess from a tactical stand point putting as many Hoplites as I can on the field with a few...

Maybe. Perhaps it was to keep the units cost down since even if they were rated protected they likely would not survive long in any sort of melee. Thureophoroi are essentially the same troops with a slightly larger shield. The two were used very similarly for a very long time, and were both the prim...

Kind of off topic, but I do find it strange Petlasts were so cheap and considered unprotected. I understand no protection for Psioli, but petlasts normally had Petla shields and often helmets, making them just as protected as a lot of infantry that receives an armor rating of protected. It just seem...

I mostly play with local folks who are not very stuck on winning. For the most part we all play to have a good time. I just need to get more of them away from darkness that is 10mm and into the glorious scale of 15mm. And you are right, sometimes its really nice just to play for fun and not care abo...

My idea with the small battle groups of protected hoplites was to put them on a flank with a sub commander and the skirmishers while loading the other flank with my Spartans and the Cv, with some of the armored avg in the center and the flank with the Spartans. The Sparties would do what they do, sm...

Classical Greek - Sparta

Here is my Classical Greek Spartan List. I play in 15mm and plan on playing mostly 900 point games. All my opponents will be Immortal Fire armies. How does the list look? Any suggestions? I want to keep my armored hoplites so I can not take anything after the 460BC period, or else I would have taken...

Allies question

Hi there, New field of glory player here, sorry if my question is dumb. So here it is: I am building a classical Greek army from Immortal Fire. I would like the bulk of my forces to be Aitalions but with allied Thessalian Calvary. My question is this: Can I take normal Calvary with my Aitalions AND ...
