Polk wrote Or is it just that you haven't actually read the rules fully ?

Now I am sorry but this seems a little sarcastic.

The post about the rules being a little muddy was most just banter, Polk should not take very little quip written on the fourm so serious. I dont get Futbol either.

On a ...

Not that these apply here anyway, because the BGs in question do not have different armour clases.
They can be either Protected or Armoured.

Yes, I know, but that's irrelevant here. I was talking about different armour classes within the same BG.

But a more experienced player would know that ...

Fellows,
Let me start by saying that after a quick review of the MRR army list I spotted something that had been stareing me right in the face. Page 9 of the rise of rome book. I was giving the Hastati the protected and the principes armored. That's was what was throwing me , The formation is all ...

yes I was the rules are a little muddy on some of these little points like when removing bases from death rolls which of these do you remove the Hastati have deffrent armor so do i remove from the front rank or the rear???

And when a BG does have different troops (normally a mixed BG including ...

Just for kicks I painted my Romans a mix of red and dark green with some white to kind of show a early formation of states with different levels of wealth

Hey Got a what is most likely a dumb question which I am sure the answers is some where here in the forum,

When is the FoG Napoleon rule book come out?

Thank you, you all have been very helpful quick in response. Now I can fall asleep happy in the knowlage that I was right about the question even if I cant spell to good.

If impact foot they both have the ++poa they are both considered charging. Just like Knights always have their Lance.
Shock troops are rarely caught their pants down

so when two equal units make contact in the impact phase there is no advantage in being the unit that is charging. Your advantage ...

Ok let me see if I can boil this down to a simple question

Is there a bonus (PoA) for the charging unit, any unit. That the same unit does not get when charged?

yes I know but if the other unit is also impact foot where is the bonus for charging?????

Guys, I may have a really dumb question or maybe I just have played too many diffrent tabletop games but when I played my first FoG game the other day I could not find a reason or a bonus when charging.
Here is the set up
8 stands of gaul MF charge 8 stands of Carthage MF on the right wing of ...

Hey, I am a new player out here in sunny Cal. I just started my FoG armies I have Romans ,Carth, Gauls Not quite enough to field just yet. BUT Thats not my real problem. I cant find any gamers to war against. Does anyone know of any gaming clubs in the Burbank/Los Angeles area?

I have 4 15mm FoG armies and Iam makingmy own campagin as we speak and it hard and I would so love some software to do all the grunt work for me.

can any one tell me why i should build my Gauls at 4 men a base instead of 3 I dont see any diff between Medium and heavy foot other than it takes longer to paint an army.
