Its never a huge issue with us. Generally, people will use a ruler to see how far their move will take them, or a ruler to see how close they can get to an...

Personally, I figure if you allow pre-measurement then any kind is available. I dislike it myself, having been hit with the "I'll move up to 1mm outside of...
... Players measure the move of their opponents units and work out a safe place to move. they then move their units. The opponent then moves and can hit the...
So I was playing a Roman Civil War battle and I moved one of my cohorts to the flank (a la Caesar at Pharsalus) and my opponent brings out a transit and German...

I'm not sure that it is perfectly acceptable in Armati, is it? I'm not at all sure that the rules allow it; and I think that perhaps it has become practise due...
Pre-measurement seems to have a number of predetermined interpretations and clarity of meaning is not immediately apparent re-reading the rules. Our game last...
Any and all pre-measurement is allowed with a single measuring device (ruler or wheeling template, which is supposed to mean a simple Armati-specific game aid...
Thanks. That's a shame. It's a worse game for it. Rodge _____ From: ARMATI@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ARMATI@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rob Wolsky Sent: 04...
Hmmm ... I think you've miss understood something here Rodge. Rob appears to be saying you cannot pre-measure your opponants move and you can only use 1...
Rob, Of course you hate pre-measurement. You can usually eyeball something within a hair width. As I've learned playing games with no pre-measurement against...
So Mark, you can't use a wheeling template and a ruler together (2 devices) nor can you use either to measure distances or angles from an opponent's troops...
... No, you were right Rodger. You can measure from an opponent's base to see whether a) You are in or out of range of his or your missiles b) You are out of...
You may measure from your opponents stands as well as your own, with a single device (ruler or wheeling template). What I meant by "pre-ordaining" is...
The area that its most detrimental in is timing. Its agony to play an opponent who carefully measures all the options and then picks the best because so often...
Personally, I'd recommend ignoring Rob Wlosky entirely (particularly the ".... YOU" mentality he champions, and get back to the Advanced Armati's player...
I'm championing a "blank-you" mentality? It seems you are willing to do backflips (and patently ignore what I actually say or write) for the opportunity to...
You wrote it, Rob. Why is it me taking a shot? To be clear ... I advocate dialogue between the players as advocated in Armati's traditional Player Etiquette....
I hear what you are saying, and I agree in spirit. I took offense to your admonition to "ignore (me) and the ... You mentality he champions". The purpose of my...

I think this has gone a bit far. I know what the rules say, about premeasurement, but I feel that it should not be done. It is the Fog of War that is the...
Thankyou for a balance response, Rob. My reply was not intended personally, but as a robust defence of dialogue. Contra other recent contributions to this...
