Of course, that depends who the cavalry is fighting, if it's HI the skirmishers aren't providing support and thus not fighting ;) And we still need to know...

Understanding that the following is taken from Advanced ARMATI and not ARMATI 2nd ED, I submit: Page 29 (left hand column) explains that "all friendly units in...
Stipulating to the fact that this forum concentrates on things Ancient, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on this "concern": I am presently setting...
The 15mm Armati is a massive 185 Bonus point per side refight of Durazzo 1081 AD, with Italio-Normans v Alexiad Byzantines. This is not an easy battle to...
Chris, 'Crap' would be ACW, 'Tosh' seemed more appropriate for the ECW, somehow. No doubt someone from one of the more industrial parts of England will decline...
Dear All Just a bit of drum banging from me, so forgive me if you have heard it all before from Steve M. who has emailed all those on the informal mailing list...
It looks like the date got chopped on the version on the message you receive, so here it is again! Armati GB League event at Derby, England on Saturday and...
Mark, I traveled to and around England in late 1987. During this course, and in subsequent correspondence with pen-pals in England and Scotland, I ran across...
I do not know how many of you have seen this yet, but the buildings are nice. I like the idea of an aqueduct on the war-game table! The nice thing about card...
Steve, Thanks for the heads up. The models and selection are quite impressive. The larger picture of a game in progress (looked like Alexandria) was very...

I'll refer you to section 8.2, page 27. It explicitly states that skirmishers take morale checks when routed into by massed units. They are NOT dispersed...

I think that, once again, Neil has spotted an incoherency within the rules. His interpretation is compatible with the letter of the rule. However, in that...
I would agree with you about the spirit of the rules if SI routed into by massed units were automatically dispersed, but they aren't (8.2, page 27). But then...
I have always taken the reference into checks on Routed-Into SI units a reference to the possibility (alluded to in 8.1) that the contact between the Routing...
I think to take a statement that the rout path remains 3" in terrain as alluding specifically to routed into on SI units is a pretty big leap. I take it as...
