Up to the usual standard of fun.

But what is this wheel of cheese that you speak of?

The unilluminated wish to know.

Confucious say:

"What is this wheel of cheese?"

A Tibetan monk might say it is the sound of one rule set breaking.

Great stuff as always!

The "If I turn 180, because I move faster/as fast as you I can retire away with impunity as you can never catch me in an IGOUGO ruleset"

So not a wheel at all

Can a Tibetan army have a Prayer Wheel of Cheese?

Always a pleasure to read Madaxeman

The only cheese the Tibetans got was the fortified camp

How cheesy do you want? a wheel that isnt even a wheel?

I did notice a propensity for another wheel that may have been termed cheesy if it ever made a difference, which against us it didn't due to our crap plan*. Or are you keeping that a secret for future use Tim?

I struggle to remember from one game to the next to be honest? Which one did you mean?

So perhaps Red Leicester as opposed to Gorgonzola

In period against all those crossbows and heavy weapons i don't think they have a prayer.

Red foot facing up, green lancers facing down

Great entertainment reading this. Thanks for the post.

Which gives the cheese of lancers splitting charge between 2 BG of foot or just going for the Left BG, where it could be intercepted anyway, this means that each foot BG will only fight 2 dice, reducing massively any chance of failing a CT

or if the foot are brave let just the left be charged and hope the left do not break, unlikely, and then charge into the flank of the lancers in the next go.

If the lancers weren't soppy girls they would have got close enough to wheel and charge the right hand infantry. Of course they may have previously broken off, so are being hemmed in by four times their number of infantry...

So you allowed a lone BG of lancers to be outmaneuvered by superior numbers of infantry. Sorry I can't really see the cheese, actually that's not even fishy in my book.

Actually there were two BGs of lancers and they both charged their respective MF opponents in the open and bounced

One wonders what, in an actual battle, the assorted peasant infantry would make of the cream of Korean society and the military seeming to decamp the battlefield at a rate of knots. Would there be a strong chance of them deciding that the battle was lost and leaving.
