TWENTY-SEVEN BGS???!!!

bye bye FOG.

you were a fun game,

before you became completely ridiculous.

turns out they already have decals for black tree cavalry, you just need to ask!

will do. wanted to pester the hivemind before hassling the business guys.

anyone know which Little Big Man shield transfer you'd put onto Black Tree auxiliary cavalry (roman)? the shields are oval, and i'm wondering if they're the same size as the infantry shields. you're gonna think yes, but... before i spend the coin i'd like to know! (i'd ask the guys at blacktree, but...

you know, of all the essex 25mm that might be the one i like the best?

good tip.

anyone have a recommendation for decent figures.

old glory do these figures but i need 12, not 10 or 20.

chariot do parthian cataphracts, but again, that's not exactly what i need (although it could be close enough...)

so one more time for those slow ones down the back.

if was to base 28mm figs for General de Brigade, i'd still be able to play this ruleset?

if you're looking at a 28mm figure and can't tell what it is? then it's either a crap paint job or your opponent has conducted an awkward morph... I was thinking more along the lines of something like hoplites could be either MF or HF and your opponent not being able to tell which they are rather t...

and damn good too. no more of this "toe in the rough" bulldust you used to get in DBM.

since going to FOG i put my heavies on at three per base if they're a big figure, and most all of my MF.

the warlord games romans don't look so bad, and it's just plain difficult to put four on.

you'd have to get at the poors...they wouldn't exactly be hurled out ahead of everyone else >supposedly something a bit more "meaty" is elsewhere causing you some concern! :) such as the 4 BG of superior armoured legions. and getting to the poors has to be conducted past a wall of skirmis...

the assumption you're making is that someone is foolish enough to put three BG of poor troops in the line.

I run Seluids and have used poor Militia offensive spears on several occasions. They have held their own and in some cases have been the heroes of the day. I have faced off against Blatherguts poor legions, and yes they did become primary targets and for some reason did not hold out as long as my s...

I missed that they were protected. But I'd still run them sometimes. Makes for an interesting game. They'd be the type of stuff the enemy couldn't completely ignore, and if they send cavalry types against them, that's a lot of points compared to the cheapies. I have always liked wild variations in ...

xyston have just started selling them.

all i can find at the minute though is the indian ones

The Fortified camp is mandatory for MRR. Also, what's the reason behind the Poor legion. I don't think I've seen them on anyone else's list. Are they just there as a cheap way to up the BG count? i edited the post and added the fort camp. played with this army today, and the poor legions butchered ...

so what's wrong with this list 1x fort camp 3x TC 4x 4 HF Sup, Arm, Drilled, IF/Sw 2x 2 HF Elite, Arm, Drilled OS 2x 4 LF Av, Unprot, Drilled, Jav/LS 2x 4 HF, Poor, Prot, Drilled IF/Sw 1x 2 HF Poor, Prot, Drilled OS 1x 4 LF Poor, Unprot, Drilled, Jav/LS 1x 4 LF Sup, Unprot, Drilled Bow (Cretans) 1x ...

sounds sensible to me.

i say we use mario's interpretation. sounds a lot more reasonable.

anyone else with me? seen as this is about consensus.

Well don't be silly, you would have to at least stay moderately historical - Minotoars are Greek!

DOH!
