My point is that if you want players that are NEW to historical wargaming and not just pulled from other rulesets then you need to reduce the barriers to learning the game. Having to find a site, figure out what you need, download the poorer quality graphics and then printing enough of each unit ty...

you can save the images, then cut and paste individual figures on to bases made using Power Point

Or perhaps the 5th bullet means that the routers cannot evade if they are normally capable of doing so, and they are charged during the impact phase.

The following turn, (A's turn) A immediately recharges the routers who are only 1 inch distant. I am assuming that in this case nothing happens until the JAP phase where both A and B make a VMD? If pursuers stay in contact then B loses a base but if routers out distance A then there are no loses at...

You aren't dense...the rule isn't very clear. It took me a while to figure it out.

Variable move distances has nothing to do with determining whether or not a unit must test to charge. It is always based on the normal movement rate of the unit in question. HF Impact foot for example must test (generally) when there is an enemy foot BG within 3 MU's. So, in this situation you would...

I think it is a great idea.

I've been toying with Roman Has/Prin battle groups deployed in depth, that is a 4 stand Bg 1wide by 4 deep, battle line 4 wide by four deep. This formation works pretty well when holding a narrow front between limiting terrain unless the enemy matches your deployment. A deep formation limits their e...

Thanks all for the replies!

Hello, Okay, so I have a typical legion arranged with LF in front followed by Hastati/Princeps and then Triarii. Since LF can pass through other foot in any direction, the LF can evade through the Hastati/Princeps. A gap between BGs is not needed. Right? If the LF are broken in combat, they can rout...

I thought about that but Litko charges nearly 10USD per custom marker, ouch!

If the original depth is less than or equal to 40mm then the new turned frontage is one base width, (40mm). If the depth is greater than 40mm up to 80mm then the new turned frontage is two base widths (80mm). If the depth is greater than 80mm up to 120mm then the new frontage is three base widths (1...

Not sure if you know, but Neal Catapano at The War Store has Corvus Belli at 4.29 USD per 8 foot. Im going with Old Glory too, just because of the price. I don't mind the look of the figures either. Things just keep getting more expensive and Im not getting any richer. You may want to check out the ...

I dont know where you are from but the best value is probably the Old Glory range of figures. They cost about .30 USD per foot figure. And, I just saw this yesterday that they have FoG army packs. Medieval French for 90 USD.

...And searching the forum using Oscan instead of allied italian as a keyword has helped too.

Okay.

The Oscan Javelinmen would be "Other lighter equipped Italian allied infantry" from the main list then?

And Oscan heavy infantry, going by the Old Glory figure listing under Italian City States could be used for the "Italian allied pedites extaordinarii" perhaps?

I'm planning on building a mid-republican Roman army. I'll begin with the starter army as presented in Rise of Rome, and build on from there. In that list there is a unit of allied Italian medium foot. I'm at a loss as to what miniatures (in 15mm) I should use to represent these troops. Looking at v...
