BG's are from 2 to 12 stands, but must initially be an even number (with one exception, which isn't worth going into as it only applies to specific army lists...
I doubt my group would move away from Armati any time soon, I would like to look at these rules however. Where can you order it? ... (with one exception, which...
Glasgow has taken a similar view - mostly due to the time taken for the game played. Ordering, you should very much shop around. Osprey are the publishers, so...
I don't think my group will move wholesale to FoG. But they do look cool. I got my copy thorugh bn.com Banes and Nobel's online store. ... the game played. ...
I have been dubious about these other rules threads. These should really be about comparing them with Armati then concluding that Armati is great and these...
I have to admit that my current position is to choose between FOG and heavily modified Armati, Armati as published just doesn't cut it for me anymore. FOG has...
I would take issue with a couple of these points Neil. FOG is designed for the DBM timeframe of two games per day, not Armati's 3. Phil Steele's review, which...
That would be great Steve. I have been told it is a rehash of 7th edition, but the guy who said this is a DBM fanatic. I did like 7th edition too. Don Delis ...
Fought another rules test; 15mm scale, A2 Andalusian (BP7) Vs Spanish Feudal (BP8): core plus 100 points, Double Frontage (DF) SI, Wide Only FT with amended PH...
... Armati's 3. ... Time taken for any game will surely be dependant on how many toys you play with, number of players, etc. However, as FoG is generally being...
OK, to answer these points. Time FOG is designed for a 3 hour game (or so it says). I'll assume that this is possible with familiarity and competition size...
Growth: I think FoG has already won the battle with DBM, I suspect with DBMM also .. Refighting Historical Battles: not an entirely fair comparison. Armati...
No, Mark ... Several correspondents knew I had entered a Doubles FoG weekend as a way of crash coursing the game, and were asking after my impressions ... so I...
With respect to Neil all these categorical claims and counter claims concerning FOG are ridiculous. There is little basis comparing rule mechanics and...
Well owning both and now having played both games here is my base comment. FOG is very fiddly!!! I can easily see it is for the DBM folks. Now that DBM is...
It was interesting that the Andalusian tactics used a series of evades for the initial moves with both forward and back evades being employed. The test of the...

Hi, Nik ... I think that hits the nail on the head. I would cite the combat system ... FoG starts with an impact phase ... pretty much on the line of contact...
Phil, Would that thought, which I quote below, look something like the H+M passage of lines? "Probably what The Game (i.e. _the _ancient _wargame in general...

For the same reason that Armati echeloned divisions do so on occassion. Units start with even numbers of bases in FOG, so (as most will either be one or 2...
