I'd like to try out "Old" Kingdom Egyptian under FoG. I don't think it'll be too controversial a list on the basis that it is simply a cut-down all-foot version of the New Kingdom beta-list . . . just adds a few more foot (in quantity) and removes all the chariots and "frilly" (=...

PS: oh, and "yes" I did read the FAQ ! The issue is more around the interaction of charge and interceptions in terms of practical application.

the picture on page 62 of the rules refers . . . If the principes declare their charge intending to wheel to line up square with the front of the archers, could the cavalry still intercept ? (The principes could do this by moving forward slightly then wheeling to arrive at contact dead-square. Or, f...

hmmmmmm . . . good discussion thread . . . the list design bug-bear is whether the weight should be applied to "vs contemporary opponents" or to "vs all opponents" . . . someone (above) suggested that the already published lists give us a pretty good feel for the design approach ...

"Azteca" list. In order to open a debate, hows about: Jaguar or Eagle 'suits': MF, Protected, Superior, Drilled, Impact Foot, Skilled Swordsmen in BG's of 4-8, total bases 8-24. "Arrow" 'suits': MF, Protected, Superior, Drilled, Bow*, Impact Foot, Skilled Swordsmen in BG of 4, to...

1. Restricted Area. The restricted zone only applies in the movement phase. Consider the following: BG A facing down the pgae, BG B facing to the right of the page . . . AAA AAA BB BB . . . BG B is in the restricted area of BG A. Given that the restricted area only applies in the movement phase, BG ...

Steve's description above is correct . . . the whole mess arose cos the scythed chariots charged, wheeled slightly to obtain a legitimate front-corner contact with the flank edge (but not a flank charge !) in the impact phase, then realigned in the manuever phase to be in corner to corner contact as...

At the start of the joint action phase scythed chariots are removed if "in contact with any unbroken enemy". Does this also include removing them from "contact" when the scthed chariots are only in front-corner to front-corner or side-edge to side-edge contacts (ie fighting as an...

Uneven ground like an open field is light horse heaven. Rough is still quite good for LH but not as good. I have no problem with skirmishing foot aremed with knives being slaughtered by LH in an open or even rough field. Difficult terrain makes things even which seems reasonable. I suspect that peo...

At the end of the day, this debate requires answering a question that may simply not be possible to answer (nor gain a consensus): on what basis would we say that someone was the best player at a competition ? And it does seem clear that we'd all (?) like it to be the person who was the 'best' playe...

Have I got this interaction correct ? The following situation arose in a game last week and led me to reflect on the safety of LF in terrain vs mtd . . . single BG of 8 LF (with bow) completely in rough terrain charged by 2 x BG of 4 LH (1 BG with lance). Impact = 4 LF dice, split 2+2; vs 3+3 disord...
