I've finally got around to putting up a wodge of new lists on my website for those who are interested.

Go to http://www.endoftime.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/index.htm and use the Army Lists item on the menu on the left. Most of the supplements there have new lists and there is a batch of armies I've played against (including score) in the Opponents Lists sub menu item.

Hope they are of interest to some of you

Thanks for the updates. The lists look to be interesting from a quick glance.

Thanks for adding the new lists--very interesting!

I was especially interested to see your Early Mycenean lists. How have you found that army to play so far? Looks like it would do decently in a Swifter than Eagles themed competition

Best,

Dale

Haven't even painted the lead yet

Man can I relate to that -- I'm starting to lose count of how many FoG armies I have in the que

Nick,

I am interested in your Principate lists. Did you ever play any of them? What is your favorite?

I've felt the Average legions are a bit fragile, but maybe OK with the archer support as they bulk up the BG some. And another thing, as average the rest of the army can supply rear support as needed.

Do you think the lancers are not a good option at all? I kind of liked them as a reserve with some extra punch.

Nik,
At BHGS Challenge 2009 how did your War of the Roses army do so well against the Later Ottoman army? Your longbowmen does not have stakes!

Never played any of them - the army is still being (slowly) painted; I drew these up to get a feel what figures I needed.

I don't think there is much of a role for the lancers in this army - in the way you'd probably end up using them the light spear chaps are just as good and can do toher things IMO.

Because you don't need them to beat up Ottomans

The Ottoman cavalry is rather vulnerable to longbows - you get a + PoA if they are not in 1 rank - so really has to avoid them most of the time. The Serbs are just a single BG and can be contained. WotR manoeuvre well to boot
