Hi Dave: Excellent stuff -- we are a diverse lot (at least professionally), perhaps a little lacking on the gender and ethnic diversity front, though... Any...
All, If you have attended an HMGS-East convention in the last six years you should have received via mail a newsletter for the convention. I am trying to get a...

"Well I won one!" I said to Meth "I am still trying to work out how this happened." He replied "So are the rest of us!" "I guess the makes it unanimous...
Any one any idea why the Nikephorian Byzantine Skutatoi as listed in Armati arn't armed with Bows ? Is it because they were used mainly as a rallying point for...

What happened to here is my army and this is what it can do against a range of opponents ? At least with this approach it is conceivably the same "general and...

It was just a discussion of the game week end really. A thing people keep asking players to do. The games were divided into Biblical and Hellenistic times and...
Now now Phil, The reason why you ended up with a helenistic army against me in the last round, was becasue you entered the room 45 minutes after the game was...
