If FoG is indeed as good as it looks I will be using 6mm in my games. As this scale gives the right massed effect I like to see in ancient/medieval battle. I have stopped my work on my 6mm Punic army until I decide if this game is truly for me so I don't have rebase things like elephants which are d...

I'm a Baccus convert, strictly 6mm. Easy to paint, and gives the massed feel that I am looking for.

Question about the Old Glory 15mm minis. How do they come packaged? The Old Glory site is a little sparse on details. Is app 50 infantry and 16 cavalry per pack the standard convention for all troop types?

Dropping to 4 Elephants and add more gallic foot as follows seems a better representation 1 General -2 Tribunes -16 bases Legion - 4BGs of 4 -4 bases Triarii -8 bases Velites -8 bases of Cavalry - 2 BGs of 4 -6 bases Italian foot. -1 General -2 Leaders -12 bases North African Infantry - 2 BG of 6 -...

More or less looking for the Punic counter to the below Roman Army ( as per the sample on the site ie Battle of Trebia; ) -1 General -2 Tribunes -16 bases Legion -4 bases Triarii -8 bases Velites -8 bases of Cavalry -6 bases Italian foot. -1 General -2 Leaders -12 bases North African Infantry -4 bas...

Now that we have the Romans sorted out, more-or-less next up is my Punic Army. Just converted the list over from WMA and I think it gives me; -12 bases North African Infantry -3 bases Gallic Inf. -6 bases of Skirmishers -3 bases Hvy Cav -6 bases Numidian Lt Cav -3 bases Elephants Should also give 1 ...

Assuming paper strength of a legion. 800pts equals 4500-5000 troops? Hmmm, wow. That is big, and food for thought.

I was wondering if FoG is a system that has a unit size convention (ie number of troops represented by a stand?) I have noticed that the baseline games seems to be between 650-800 pt forces being fielded on a side. Is this a cohort/maniple (to use the roman model) sized battle? Or, smaller? Just try...

If anyone know (and can say.) What is the basing convention for Punic War Elephants in the 15mm- (6mm) range?

The WMA Roman Hvy Cav are not rated as "shock" troops so mine are based as the other troops in he army. So, that will not be a problem. I will be filling out the ranks in the future. Still painting a Punic Army up now...I'm not a fast painter by any means. I've been painting infantry for t...

Thanks mate! Assuming no chagnes from beta this should be easily do-able. Given that convention the resources I have will give me; -1 General -2 Tribunes (i'll have to put together another command stand, but I have the figs for it.) -16 bases Legion (WMA designation)- I'll have to repaint the plums ...

Been working on a couple of armies for WMA by GW, and have recently been looking for any excuse to drop GW and I think FoG will fit the bill. I have some questions first. The above mentioned armies are in 6mm (Baccus.) I see that the rules do accomadate this scale, and that the bases should be the s...
