I do not know whether this forum is the right place to raise such a point, but I have found the combat resolution mechanism paradoxical and unfair, especially because I roll an awful lot of 1! Let me explain. Imagine BG A vs BG B, both counting 6 bases - it does not matter with type or quality for m...

It is stated in FoG rulebook that one of the advantages of forming battlelines is that more BGs can performe together simultaneous actions (e.g., moving together). Suppose the following - happened to us in a game: a battleline made of three BGs of Egypitian New kigdom close fighters (MF, no impact) ...

The disorder affects only the bases ('A') which are actually on the rough ground. Fair and clear enough. But what if that BG with 3 disordered bases would be charged, i...

Sorry, obviously I meant 40x20 mm (not 30x20mm...pressed the wrong key! :( ). Still, list 22 NKE from DBM book 1, p. 21: Close fighters with spear and side arm - Reg Bd (F) 8-20 bases allowed. It seems to me fair to privilege the longest phase of NKE (1543 BC-1069 BC), but it is - I suppose - a matt...
