Sorry Ash - which set of A2 lists are you looking at - not the one I have anyway :)) Â Just a quick glance at just Pages J & K in AoE shows me the following: ...
Mark F, Q. Why would a player take all of these SI in the first place? A. Because they are grossly overpowered. It follows that by making them wide, so one SI...
... If I'd started out playing Armati with Wide SI I'd accept it. As I didn't and have many armies based for single SI I would rather we stayed that way. The...
Yes, A2, Mark I said 'A2 has 2 lists with more than 5 SI in the core'. I am well aware there are plenty where if you buy the bonus units there are loads. I...

Thanks Ash - I was scan-reading this on my Blackberry - so missed the Core bit & limits on the total numbers of SI. Â Personally - I come back to the idea...
... No, it is their missile effectiveness and their manoeuverabilty combined. Together they have the potential to make the troops type too powerful in the...
We disagree Rodger - if there were only 2 SI in every army list (for example) this wouldn't be the problem it is being made out to be. Wide is IMO a red...
We have disagreed on this from the day I raised it Mark. Not entirely sure what you think wide SI is creating disunity or dissension; this is a discussion on...
Well, madness, i know but if we can't have all units (including pesky SI) 2 sections wide, why not make all the Heavy units _1 section wide. Just have twice as...
Rodge, I think there will be a major problem if SI cannot use complex manoevers to get out of the way of the main battle line. It's a pretty core concept in...
The test where SI were denied complex manoeuvers worked well Mark; the SI could only fall back, could not pop out of the back of a battleine, turn round and...
Some comments on the RV tested below Best regards Vincent ... -1 short ... people down (at long range the SI missile battle meant that the firer had to roll 6...
I think that Mark has a good point here. When forced to combat in open battle (as opposed to ambushes or skirmish attacks on a marching column), mostly LHI...
What is a skirmishing foot unit ? A group of individuals roughly 6 feet apart in every direction. Defacto skirmishing infantry are more manoeurvable than...
... Actually Mark its not only better if the SI cannot make major manoeuvres, it puts them in the very position that you want them to be in. That is they are...
... man its command and control are severely limited. Officers cannot reach the subordinate officers and they cannot reach the men.It cannot do complex...
Vincent, see below: VA: This was aired in the discussion sometimes ago. I am not surprised that it worked well. The 6-1 needed applies only against +2...
Oliver, I doubt that there was much, if any command and control with most SI (bar the 'better' ones like Creatans who probably should be classed as LI IMHO). ...
its a nice simple logic to restrict SI to forward and back movement only. it also logically follows that they should be removed from the table once the main...
none of this, with the factors and new movement rules and new restrictions on abilities and so forth, is KISS in any way, but there we go. ... in the rules for...
... only. Agreed ... table once the main line is engaged, and that they cannot form up unless in front of a main line or as mounted supports. any takers on...
Some additional comments below Best regards Vincent ... and ... VA: I tried once a 100 points game with republican Roman against Spanish. The Roman did indeed...
Yes, mark but I thought this time I'd try saying play intro on a full table by doubling up your units into single section blocks. The point is a full army on...

'the arguments for single or double front SI aren't going anywhere.' Not sure I agree with you on this Ash. We seem to be split between DFSI and a version of...
... I do it, Ash. Instead of large units, I always fight Intro scheme but with double to quadruple army sizes (several commanders too). It is much easier, and...
