Hello everyone; I have been culling the herd so to speak with regards to my figures and decided to put some up for sale. I thought I'd offer them here first before going the "ebay" route. This time around it's some Gallic figures that I have which were purchased from Warmodeling and Xyston...

Hello everyone; I'm coming to you all today with a specific question. What do you think the most morphable army is for the Field of Glory Ancients rules. Here is why I am asking. I have a friend who I game with. He is very interested in FoG and we have played a few games together using my figures an...

I would also like to throw in my vote for ACW. BTW, for those of us who are interested in the American War of Independence, are there any suggestions for using FOG rules?

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone; I just came across this thread as I was searching for possible regular players. I am also in the east bay, Pleasant Hill to be exact. Would be interested in possibly meeting up with some of you for a coffee to talk about gaming and see if we could work out a regular playing schedule. Ta...

So this is a companion post to my post regarding modeling wagon lager... I just re-read the basing section and it mentions that fortifications bases are to be 15mm deep. Now I've always thought of wagon lager as "Circling the Wagons" but how on earth do you represent tightly packed wagons ...

Evening everyone; So I just finished placing my order at Warmodeling and Xyston for my Gallic army (yeah I'm a sucker for abuse). One quick question, anyone else have a better suggestion for modeling wagon lager than just slapping a wagon on a base.... seems like there's a great opportunity for some...

Hello everyone; While I understand that according the Homer the "Battle" of Troy lasted some 10 odd years. Has anyone ever tried to create a single scenario around it? I'd be interested to know since my friend and I have been putting together Trojan and Achaean armies. Thanks in advance, S...

Hey everyone; I'm putting together a Urartian army and have come to understand that the Urartian court adopted much from Assyria in the way of dress, equipment etc. such that I can use Assyrian figures very easily to represent Urartian troops. My question is: What are your thoughts regarding the &qu...

Hi Azrael; The Ptolemaic choice was purely and emotional one. When I began playing WRG 7th a number of years ago, I knew nothing about the hobby, the armies or the history for that matter. I "ended up" with a Ptolemaic Egyptian army as my very first and came to enjoy it very much even tho...

Ah, its a game of toy soldiers - collect the armies that you want and don't worry about if it makes any sense. To be frank, people that want to be logical and orgnaised about the hobby are missing the point really as far as I'm concerned, whimsy and changing interest are all part of the fun. Have a...

You want something that you will win with more often than not if you are keeping it. Therefore, you require: 1, winner (Later Anglo Irish or Catalan Company) for when you really know what you are are doing, and finally Just a thought. (I have none of these and have lost every one of my games...) I ...

Hello everyone; I have a friend whom I'm introducing to FoG. He is interested in re-fighting the Trojan Wars so I have drawn up an Achaean list (Later Mycenaean) to go up against his Trojans. I'd appreciate your thoughts on the list as it is so far. Achaeans (or..."The Punch From The Peloponnes...

Hello there everyone; I thought I'd use this part of the forum to put up my various 800 point army list ideas for review and suggestions. The first one being my NKE list... Here goes: New Kingdom Egyptian: 1x FC 2x TC (4)Egyptian Chariots: Superior/Drilled/Bow (4)Egyptian Chariots: Superior/Drilled...

Hello again; In an ongoing effort to get the best out of my various armies, I respectfully submit my 800 pt Gallic list for your review! :D "The Boys Who Blow Strange Horns" 4x TC 1x BG (4)Cavalry- Armored/Sup/Undrilled/Lt Spear Sword 3x BGs (4)Cavalry- Protected/Sup/Undrilled/Lt Spear Swo...

Hello follow FoG enthusiasts! As I have written on past posts, I'm a veteran of WRG and DBM rules. Then sold off everything when my kids were born! :) Now I'm "taking the plunge" again. One of the things I've always enjoyed doing was putting together a "wish list" of armies that ...

Here's a sample. Each of the three HF Spears BGs has a standard, but the figures mostly blend in with the rest. Just a fancier helmet or maybe fancier armour slightly (the dudes with the standards have bronze breastplate...rest have linen). http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/Blathergut/BGStan...

My Republican Romans have one command stand per legion, but I want to add them to each BG in the future. Even my drilled Numidians will get a command base as do the upcoming Norman spearmen BGs. I love command figures, so why not play with them? I agree Mehrunes, they add a very nice visual to any ...

Hey everyone; Every since I first started playing historical minis (back in the WRG 7th ed. days) I've always liked having those "command elements" with each group of troops. I was wondering how many of you keep that tradition going with FoG? I can see that it would be useful in separating...

kevinj has pointed out the benifits of the ic (which for nke i would think to be the better choice) the idea with 4 tc is to get the best chance of the first turn and deny the enemy manouver space. It tends to work well with tough quality troops that are good in melee (i use 4 tc with my swiss) for...

Best 15mm Janissaries with bows are Old Glory 15s, Period! In fact, their turk line is excellent! Madcam. Hi Madcam! WOW you we right, I just took a second look at Old Glory and I'll be placing my order tomorrow. Their figures are very well sculpted and the poses and variety are excellent! Thanks f...
