I have a medieval Swedish army with mixed battle groups of HF armoured heavy weapon and MF armoured crossbow. I also have the option to take field fortifications, but I'm a bit confused over what happens when a BG behind the fortifications is attacked in the rear or the flank, and isn't actually ...

Which era Swedish?

late medieval, lots of militia backup up by a few knights, mounted crossbows, handgunners and some mounted companions. The militia are fairly nasty in a stand up fight, but the army is a bit small, and slow, and undrilled, so once my flank is turned it's pretty much all over ...

I'm down to play at Battlecry in February, I'm taking my medieval Swedish army, so I'll post up some results and army lists once it's over. Can't remember how many players there are, but there's at least six from the South Auckland Wargames Club where we play FOG almost exclusively now.

I play a late Swedish Medieval army, which is mostly composed of mixed battle groups with heavy foot, armoured, heavy weapon backed up by medium foot armoured crossbow swordsmen. I want to try field fortifications, and have a question about being charged in the rear. I know there is no disadvantage ...

Thanks guys

Hi guys

I'm new to FOG, only played a couple of games with borrowed armies so I'm still trying to get my head around what works and what doesn't. I like the look of medieval armies, maybe German, Swiss or Swedish, but I have a few things that I don't understand

1, what's the use of mounted ...
