The troop types make for an interesting set of problems. SI are just as wide frontally as they are in Optimal giving them enormous coverage. Most other units...

The idea for Reiters sounds good to me. The pistols might undress the gallop charge cavalry, but they still have to withstand the impetus risk of the...
Carl, can you put together your rules variants in detail into a .doc file and upload here? It's 100% interesting for me because I base all my pike-musket in...
One would have to half size both frontage and depth. Even so, it would not change the disparate frequency of flank attacks. I think that it might be better to...
There are a goodly number of armies in both the Warflute Under Review section and on the Warflute Ordo approaching the point where we normally consider...

Tsk! Tsk! We both know I do post lists here occasionally. As to the Warflute lists. Well I look on Warflute as an online journal while this site is more like a...

Hi all, Four of us wanted to play Armati yesterday but we did not have enough table space for two games -- so we tried a 2 on 2 game. Since I had never played...
Great report! I've often thought that Armati 2 would make a good doubles game at 100 points. Cold Wars seems to be the venue for doubles championships....
Dave Smith prevaricates greatly. Both games that he played against me were close run affairs that could easily have come out the other way with better timing...

Hi All: My group is about to try the Gaugamela scenario that was published in the
Slingshot some time ago. The OOBs and some limited rules are offered but I...
Its seems to me that the only way to recreate Gaugemala is to take the decisive sector only and play that through. In effect the troops elsewhere in the battle...
Very enjoyable report. Your Scythians seem to have the same armaments supplier as my LC units, the chinese noodle arrow factory. Couple of questions.... Was...

I don't care to 2v2 games. It is hard to divided an army into two (almost) equal parts and still retain some semblence of ancient battle. 3v3 would work a lot...
We just create a double sized army, deploy, and then divide up divisions
between players, usually centre and two wings. One players rolls for
