Hi, I finally played my first game of A2. My regular opponent, Ken Eckhardt, and I played. I don't have my copy yet but the basics were still there. We played...
I understand that if HC win the 1st round of melee against HI, that the HI would be destroyed unless deployed in depth. Does HC get any wider bonus when...
I re-read what I posted. As far as I can tell I may have implied that you were pompous yourself, accused you of sarcasm & retorted that some of your comments...

seems as good a way as any to establish the popular view. Luxor...
What a great idea. Let a Merkit whose only knowledge of chariots derives from buying suspicious looking hot dogs from an Egyptian help decide how the things...
HC enjoy a wider bonus when fighting HI organized deep one on one. If the HC are fighting two units, flanked, or attacked in the rear, they do not count as...
Well they slipped this one in quietly. WB get no protection against cavalry when deployed in depth. It would be interesting to hear the logic behind this...
Don't HI units in depth receive 3 BP instead of breaking? A WB only gets 3 BP so who cares if it dies by impetous or by receiving 3 BP. Dead be dead. Chris...
I care, because as far as I could see, with the exception of the Dacians, all other WB armies able to deploy their core in depth, have a BP of 4, such as the...
Good point, I was focused on the Dacians. Don't underestimate the advantage of having WB deep and getting twice as many chances to inflict damage. And, as a...
... That's not what the Merkit said. He said: "Note that HI, but not WB, now enjoy the benefits of depth as a counter to impetus if organized in an echelon...
Silly scenario involving Dacians. A Dacian WB (breakpoint 3) with a genral attached can form indepth and not be broken by impetus? Chris Coz ... against...
Hmmm! upset am I. Jumping to conclusions eh? perhaps you can explain this line from the new rules 7:9:3 HEAVY INFANTRY IN DEPTH (Counter to impetus) From...
... Not having a set of A2, you have me at a disadvantage. I was relying upon my memory (I'm sure deep WB was in Rob's list of things included) and what the ...
May I suggest to try the new rules, see what it happens and share rather than abstract discussions. So far we did Germans vs. Marian Romans, Patzinak vs....
Take a moment or so and consider the armies covered by the Marian army that actually had Armenian allies. Crassus. Mark Anthony. Were those armies as...
This has to be a mistake, but if not, it does mean you can move 9" instead of 6" so there is some compensation. You have an FV5 WB that moves like greased...
What the merkit actually wrote... Well i looked back at the Merkits mail and he said, " Note that HI, but not WB, now enjoy the benefits of depth as a counter...

Yes, but the quote doesn't exclude WBs getting protection if formed deep, only if you try to echelon. Which isn't as bad as you said. ... From: "Peter...
