In Armati, LI and LHI can break off through each other (in the Carthaginian army Spanish FT and Warband can do the same) they cannot fall back through other...
Viking beresrkers seem to have been individuals or small group, if not entirely mythical which they may be! The A2 lists had them affecting a whole unit by...
I always get the feeling (rightly or wrongly) that this forum exists solely for tournament players to over-complicate a good set of rules. Which has got me...
We had eight players at our Armati tournament (HMGS-South, Hurricon Convention) last month, to include Rob Wolsky who generously gave out free copies of the...
I recall 20 at the UK Worlds in Derby last month. We are expecting about 18 I think, for Glasgow later this month. And new (non competition players) were...
'But it is true that the UK tournament players did kick up a lot of noise amongst ourselves over the last 18 months on this list- simply as we each have over...
Well, I was one of the main instigators to the original set of rule variants and I don't play tournaments. So, that should answer your first point :) As for...
You have hit on a central problem, I think. the lack of ongoing support in pre packaged no-need-do-spend-your-own-time-on-it form has hampered this, and other...
'What is the purpose of Armati? Who is it aimed at? Reading this forum I suspect that it's trying to be a tournament set of rules. Is that so?' No, it is a set...
I found this post really rather sad. After all only a small group of people post frequently on any list like this. Its quite normal for those people to...
Thanks very much for the clarification and opinion, Roy. Again, I am perhaps hamstrung by the "sad" fact that I have yet to purchase A2. I find that I've been...
I confess that I've never played in an Armati tournament. (I would imagine, given the expertise evident in this forum, that I would probably last as long as...
I can quite assure you, I'm knocking anything or anyone. That's the problem with the written word - you can't hear someone's tone of voice or body language. ...
I have to chime in and ask a few questions, I may be missing something on this. Â Â What does it mean that (Armati 2 was never supported that well in the...
... -You answered this yourself in your last question. I would also suggest that scenario books are another form of support. Consistent availability would be...
Actually I did not answer my own question. Â Sorry to disagree with you, but I think scenario books are a poor example of support. Â The availability of the...
... -Yeah, you did. Â Sorry to disagree with you, but I think scenario books are a poor example of support. -Maybe. Tournament players wouldn't be so...
I am a solo player (not tournament, not standard game) and play intro scale. i have drifted away from Armati since the interetsing discussions on rule...
I cannot see the point of this debate. Everyone, competition or non-competition player plays for fun. I, and others prefer Armati for a number of reasons....
I keep a league table of material submitted to Slingshot since I started as editor. Overall (by word count), Armati is 6th, behind (first to fifth) DBA, FoG,...
I am definitely a tournament player, although I also enjoy big historic battle reconstitution. I do not think that Armati is providing us with a good "equal...
I wouldn't have put dates on it, more developments and a key exponent force. Antiquity seems to kick off with the Persians. Vincent and I discussed it a...
Thanks Mark. Judgement call then. Reason for the question was where there are dates that have to be guessed at I wondered if there were guidelines that would...
Rodger - post the question on Warflute - the WF Senate does have some general guide-lines & tends to re-classify list submissions that obviously fall out of...
