I am please to be able to announce that the dates for Armati-By-The- Sea 2009 have been set for the weekend of 7th/8th February,2009. The location is...
Indeed a close run thing ... which is not a phrase you hear often when playing with an A2 Classical Indian army! The wide FT worked - although we only had one...
In the other games played with double frontage LI (Bleymme, Rugi) there was no clogging; mind you, there was not an infantry line stretching across the entire...
Fought a Hasting scenario using 20mm figures (on 25mm bases) on an 8 x 5 table. All Variants were played with the exception of double frontage SI as we did not...
... The game convinced me that the A2 Norman list is wrong. We included two units of SI Xbows who got up close and did execution upon the housecarl units....
While I'm convinced the rule variant test of wide SI provides a real benefit to the game I'm not quite so sure yet about the double width LHI and LI. It...

I was about to set up a game using Spanish--have to try thiis. Jim ... From: Rodger Williams <rodger.w@...> Subject: RE: [ARMATI] RV Wide LHI and LI To:...

I agree with this Steve. At the level represented in Armati, LI and SI might well be harder to control than easier. Close order drill has its advantages, but...
The 4" wheel for both troops types seems in keeping with looser order troops to me Steve. They are not moving in regimented groups after all so should have the...
I think that your comments are useful Steve but have you connected the straight jacket effect on these supposedly fluid light divisions that comes from...
Mark, I think the perceived chunkiness relates to a remembrance of current play, more than it does to any actual movement ability of the men they represent. We...
... I think that Chris and Steve have completely missed the Cathar Terror's point aboyt LI movement and wheels here. Currently manoeuverability is a key...
... I think Li are actually nippy. In a way they are dense clouds of skirmishers who can thicken up to fight a bit. I think they should be allowed to attack...
Roy, "I liked the'medium foot idea better' it's just a question of what counteracting benefit to give them for the substantial disability of FV4 and BP3. Those...
How many months has it taken for this to be "noticed" and sorted out this problem was noted when the play test options were first published. The problem that...
... Part of play testing is that issues will be thrown up; issues that may have been raised (although I admit I cannot find the post that raises the issue)....
... manoeuvreability if theyt are double fronted. It fits with your Superior Skirmishers idea. Roy ... counteracting benefit ... are real killers." ... ...
There is a new Greco-Indian list up on Warflute that looks interesting. It is by O'Cahan who really is the doyen of list writers. Copious notes too on an...
Your multiple blobs are even harder to coordinate than the unified 'dense cloud'. That said, I have not tried wide LI. I don't actually like the way LI can...
-Two LI are worse for the cavalry Chris. They may lose on to impetus, but it then takes three goes to kill the other on if you can. If the cavalry lose round...
Following this discussion with some interest ... Considering putting together a test game wherein Pompey's Iberian army faces the one commanded by Sertorius. ...

Here's another thought on the similar theme. How about a game set in Spain between the Republican Romans and the Carthaginians as this would show the effect...
(Not really a report on an existing trial) OK. Here's the rub. i agree with everyone on this topic. That's the problem. Nobody's wrong. i've been trying the...
... And they could not wheel further than the horse. The LI/LHI will move 9 in ches and the horse 15. Because the men are dispersed its a lot easier for them. ...
