I live in Beijing, China and have just started playing FoG. I have been running an informal group of WRG7/Warrior players here for several years and now want to start playing FoG as well so just wondering if there are any other Beijing players out there.

That was a very helpful answer. Thanks. After I play a few more games I'm sure I'll have a better feel for the game.

For example, if your opponent in a normal situation would have a +POA, and something happens which negate this POA so you fight at even, it's the same if such situation give you a +POA. Yeah, exactly. That was my original question. Regardless of the mechanism - plus POA for me or minus for you - it...

What you likely have not still understood is the level of FOG. In FOG a base is near an unit of other rules (if you compare FOG base that represents near 250 men with WRG 6th edition where a miniature represents 20 men, you see a base in FOG is equivalent to an unit of 12 miniatures of WRG 6th edit...

Not bad by definition, just really different from what I'm used to, and what I had assumed was the historical record. But I'm no expert - in fact I rely on these games to tell me how things worked. Anyway, thanks for the help. And if anybody wants to weigh in on the effects of mounted on unsteady fo...

Thanks dude. Precision is important.

So, as far as I can tell, the only situation where UNSTEADY foot have a disadvantage specifically against mounted is:


UNSTEADY pike/spear foot fighting lancers during Impact


Is this right?

But thanks for the clarification of the specific differences between DISRUPTED and FRAGMENTED

If STEADY is the start state of all troops, is it not okay to call all the other degraded states UNSTEADY?

Okay, I think I see that. Basically: 1) unsteadiness takes POAs away from spear guys v. everybody 2) unsteadiness makes MF more likely to fail cohesion tests v. mounted 3) unsteadiness takes away dice from everybody v. all opponents 4) unsteadiness gives all enemy sword guys POAs against you I don't...

. . . and thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the sort of "half rules question half game-mechanic-justification" post.

THE QUESTION Is it true (as it seems to be) that mounted fighting disrupted/fragmented foot get no POAs? If I'm wrong, could somebody point me to the proper spot in the rules? WHY I ASK If mounted really doesn't get an advantages when fighting disrupted or fragged foot that would seem to me totally ...
