ok, found the answer, "unlimited" ... this seems a little odd as it's against or a contradiction to the Split Division rule, but playing with a WB army I'll...
We discussed this last night over a game, and colcuncled that the splits were counted when all the break offs had been completed, as if you sucessfully broke...
Hi mates, I break in again with a suggestion I hope it can look interesting or at least worth mentioning. In ARMATI terrain doesn't influence fighting as much...
Break-off are indeed unlimited and are the only way to "volontarily" go in negative initiative through splits. Splits are looked at only at the end of a phase,...
Interesting however I am not sure the added complexity is worth the chrome added. I would be happy to play it in friendly games, but for competition purpose I...
I am currently away from home for work Send me a direct mail and I'll send you the details of the Sambre scenario. It divides both armies in 3 commands which...
Armati budget is well known to be unbalanced and most experienced competition players will admit that the CRs are not paid enough in the current system. The...
I have designed a Fire and Fury scenario loosely based on the Waterloo battlefield. It turned out to be very historic in the behaviour of the players (both...
Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed feedback Steve.Very much appreciated.. Ran into a bit of a snafu at the start, as I had made the battlefield too large...
Merci beaucoup, Vincent. That's kind of amusing, the Nordist player having an anti-English hissy fit - hah. I didn't mean to overanalyze or overthink the...
Well Vincent, the idea was to give an advantage to terrain, not veterans. I just said that the thing could be used even to add more chrome (to use your term),...
eh hem, It was the New Zealanders and the Greeks who defended that part of Crete... ... the same with a choke point between Maleme and the capital, where the...
Hi Vincent, Thanks for the reply, I usually run open tournaments. We don't have many players and we are in the recruiting mode. That being said I don't...
An easy way to model uphill is to treat some specified situation "as if" it was a fortification, with all the restrictions that apply to fortifications. Just a...
Just thought I would pass this on just in case anyone here wants to attend or GM a game, A friend and I will be GM'ing a Armati game. - Please pardon the...
Sorry. Freyberg himself was a New Zealander. And you#re right, he had placed his two countrymen's brigades around Maleme, my mistake. All in all some 7800 men...
... I think that you are in he right here falco. The New Zealand troops in Crete were there as part of a British Empire commitment and would have gone under...

Gentlemen: An apology is in order, I should think, for the unintentional delay in getting this out to you. The "Battle of Bistagno" (my name for Waterloo in...

Hi Mark Thanks for the advice but I thought how come we can't have them manufactured in the UK ? I made some enquiries at www.warbases.co.uk and over the...

Lee, That's fantastic. Can you post his website link please. BTW, if the 2mm to 3mm supplier you refer to is the one I think it is, the reason he changed to...
Having had absolutely no knowledge of this historical engagement until I read the announcement, I must say that I’m intrigued. I do have the WAB rule book,...
On closer reading, it appears that I forgot the "bodyguard" cavalry for the Byzantine commanders. Perhaps we can/could put these troopers at x 2 units of HC,...
