Lost Scrolls?

Cheers Nik.

Any guidance on the use of things like the FoG logo and images for the various army books for web sites?

Cheers,

The legendary source of Mede rebel allies (only in 550).

Will there be any such book or will this be a list made available on the web site?

Cheers,

Steve

PS - whoops wrong forum folder

Dave, there is still an advantage of the allowed intepenetration: the HF won't get disrupted when the Bow have to rout through them ;) Steve This "advantage" has already gleefully been pointed out to me...... :( Philistines, you're all Philistines...... :lol: Hey, my NKE Close (so-called)...

No clubmen! Take the Lh and Lf. 3-4 BGs of heffalumps. Undrilled - use the JAP to position generals with any archer units that might need to do something tricky to concentrate fiire, otherwise use the points to get more troops. If you really really want some drilled take them as an ally contigent. U...

Bugger so much for that theory.

Good attitude! Sound like you had a good comp and got good mileage out of those Greeks. Still, the kiwis conquered eh Watching the cricket while typing this so I hope CanCon is a good omen for the Hadlee-Chappell trophy.

Excellent. One of FoG's POAs IMO (3 TLAs in a row, do I get a prize?) is that the authors and administrators are responsive to developments in the field. There's no beta test like an actual release to the paying public - just ask Microsoft!

I played the winner in round 6 and it was a middle hungarians and a fairly simple list. 3 groups of undrilled knights 2 groups of undrilled bow armed Cav (protected) 4 groups of poor LF filler all the rest as average LH bowmen all the mounted in BGs of 4 all the foot in BGs of 6 15 BGS in total if ...

FAQable?

Try http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8519 As something I dreamt up for the wierd troop types that the rule writers don't want. About third post. Good luck. There was plenty of talk about the chatti when that list came out. Outright disbelief and disappointment given the generosity gi...

Any thought to rule variations for the hostage screens that were used as shields in battle? I'm with Pete in that it would e nice to see some mobs fielded not as filler but as genuinely expendable troops. I haven't checked the sources recently but I was disappointed that the Timurid mob are more lik...

I think I was said opiner!! :wink: I rule that behind means a) directly behind and touching the rear edge of the FF b) aligned with it with one base behind each FF, no partial contacts c) you can be in any formation thereafter as long as every base is to the rear of a FF (which makes them completel...

Nice idea Hammy.

Pretty much confirms what we thought.

Thanks again Mathew. I think we gave the Hypaspists a rum deal in the game (although they would have succombed eventually). We were tired and it wasn't germane to the final result. I think the key thing for me in this is that the orb only has to fight against one base of enemy in each direction. Int...

How much flexibility is allowed to position bases in the rear rank when there are less than the front rank? Specific example question: A BG of 4 Lh is reduced to 3 and end up like so: LhLh Lh It then moves into overlap with friends like so: ____EnEn ____EnEn LhLhFrFr Lh FrFr What options does it hav...

Thanks Mathew. So the Hypaspists should get their POA for two ranks of spear in each direction and, as you say, the actual facing of the bases is merely a mnemonic. What confused us is reconciling the impact/combat dice rules with the Orb rules, i.e. the attackers are each contacting two bases of th...
