Mi sono finalmente deciso ad ordinare le miniature, per creare l'esercito gallico, cui accennavo nel post del 10 giugno.
Molto gentilmente, Sergio mi suggeriva questa composizione per l'esercito:

- 3 basette di Generali

- 4 unità di Cavalleria per un totale di 16 basette (3 miniature per basetta ...

And yet the Immortal Fire tournament at Oxford was won by Early Achaemenid Persians.


Hi all.

Just some numbers from tournaments in which there was armylists from Rise of Rome, with "some" pikes:

- GODENDAG 2008 period Rise of Rome 16 players, 4 with Later Seleucid: 1st and 3rd place ...

Thank you, Terry.

Hi all
last night I had this situation:


........SpSpSpSp

KnKnKn

4Kn fight 4Cv, that break, loose a base, then goes in rout, make a VMD of 3MU; the Kn pursue with a VMD of 4MU, but after 2MU they impact the Sp:
Can the Kn "Step Forward" to contact the Cv?

Cv ...

Hastati and Principes interpenetrate within the BG - as it represents both troops types there is no need for it to be shown explicitly.

Yes, but Triarii cannot.

We could assume that 1 legion is formed by 2 line (aka BG) of Hastati and Princips and 1 line of Triarii: if we want to simulate the ...

If you move out of open terrain then pike lose their 4th rank POA (it only counts in open terrain) and the pike re no longer steady so the pike are down a POA and the legions are up a POA as swordsman now counts.

:shock: ops, I thought that STEADY was referred only for coesion state, I didn't ...

Hi all.
In Storm of Arrows HYW English longbowmen can interpetrate dismounted men-at-arms and billmen, why Roman Hastati/Princeps and Triari cannot ?

Diego

Also the legions are DRAMATICALLY better in terrain. They can be disordered in rough terrain and still fight respectably while a pike block disordered would get butchered by the legions.

Sorry flameberge I disagree :) .
Pikes don't loose their POA until FRG or SEV DISORDER, so if rough terrain ...

Hi all.

On p.114 "Effect of cohesion levels", under FRAGMENTED level the 3rd bullet says that:

"battle group can make a simple move to retire away from all enemy within 12 MU but must CMT for any other move"

1. Does this mean that a FRAG BG in any situation (also in close combat) can retire away ...

To better explain to Diego, according to paragraph "Moving into contact with enemy battle groups" p 75, the position where you want to put the LH is not an overlap situation, so the contact could only happens in the impact phase (and so not this one cause a 180° turn is necessary for the LH ...

LLLL cannot charge in the impact phase because a charge cannot include any turns, only a wheel (of up to 90 degrees). One move to consider, from the dirty-trick bag :twisted: , is for LLLL to move in the maneuver phase to block CCCC's break-off move. LLLL will then be in position to charge CCCC in ...

Ciao a tutti.
Spero non vi offendiate, ma ho postato la stessa domanda al forum inglese e la risposta la trovate al seguente link:

In poche parole, essendo FOG abbastanza elastico e anche più realistico nel trattare i contatti per i ...

Thanks all.

Hi all.

Last night we had this situation:

A and B are HF romans BG, C and K are Cav macedonians BG that charge B in the impact phase.
Between A and B there's less than one base width (about 1 MU) and they are aligned ...

Ciao a tutti

L'altra sera è capitato un caso particolare:


.........BB
AAAA BB

.........C

A e B sono due BG di HF romani, mentre C e K sono due BG di cavalleria macedone che nella fase di impatto hanno caricato B.
La distanza che c'è tra A e B è meno di una ...

dopo un impatto alla pari, la falange sarebbe stata avvantaggiata nella mischia prolungata, SENZA CONTARE LA SORTE!

Ciao Diego,

Giusto come detto Gug. In melee, i Pk avere un POA +


Ma in generale, la cosa più importante è di provocare(?) la "cohesion test". Perde base sono molto meno ...

Ciao Guglielmo.
Ti conosco di fama (positiva) e ho letto con piacere il tuo articolo su D&P.

E' indubbio che un'unità più forte ne sconfigga una più debole (senza dadi particolarmente fortunati o sfortunati), ma la cosa che mi ha lasciato un pò l'amaro in bocca è che l'unità romana dopo 4 ...

Ciao a tutti.
