A few clarifications and additional comments below Best regards Vincent ... An obligatory charge must finish in contact with the enemy. With the distances...
Armies: Over the past week or so, I have play tested the proposed RVs three times. The first game pitted a Gepid Army (400 A.D. to 565 A.D.) - H@4, L@3, BP of...
I am planning to try Armati for the first time and have a DBA Nikephorian Byzantine Army I want to use. The Cataphracts or heavy Knights are based 6 to a 60mm...
Brian, Â I pitty your opponent, but good luck anyway. Â Ideally they should both be based 40 mm frontages. Armati basing for depths will have one section of...
At our test game last week (or perhaps it was 10 days ago now I think about it) we set out to test warbands in a 100 point encounter between Odovacer and Rugi...
Mark Grindlay would like to note that he still favours the 45 degree rule as the simplest and best flank rear definition. Just because I came up with the IF...

Brian, I have just realised you may be playing 28mm. you can probably disregard my reply earlier this week, except the general point to aim for same frontage...
Er, no, Mark - he's giving standard WRG 15mm base sizes (probably thrown you by giving the depth first (60x40 is KnI double-based element), the foot is BwX, I...
If it starts entirely in front, it is a frontal charge, wherever it finishes. Otherwise, if contacts the rear edge or rear corner it is a flank or rear charge....
... In terms of the variants that we are discussing where the charge starts is less relevant than where it finishes. To get full flank rear effect it must...
Not as such roy. Current 14a rv means that the attacker may contact a target unit and as long at it's (the attaker's) frontage crosses both the target's flank...
The example terroircathars gave was where a 2 unit div of LC (both units in deep) had got round the flank of an HC unit. The LC Div was well to the rear of the...
