Gentlemen, My Battle Day experience has drawn to a close. Thanks to each and all for the comments, remarks, suggestions with respect to orders of battle, rule...

There appears an Armati rule; "A Division may never be split up just because part of it is obliged to Charge." Why is this so? Let's say a line of knights...
I never read the sentence in the strict sense that you seem to give it. IMO, the sentence says that you may not separate the part of a division which is under...
Vincent is correct, Splits are generally to your advantage - they free up manoeuvre units (at the cost of initiative). Hence, you can't do them whenever you...
... . A: this statement is not 100% accurate, the other units in the Divisions can take a split and try to get into the melee, or (without seeing the table and...
Not sure if the prior post is entirely accurate. If you take a voluntary split with Knights you still fall under a obligatory charge and you must move straight...
... You are right Rob. If both armies have used up their splits it is technically possible for two unengaged knight units to face each other at an angle where...
... hi rob, what's inaccurate ...his complaint was about a unit stuck and not being able to fight, so I was just trying to point out options such as an echelon...
Yes, I understand all that is below as well as Vincent's earlier message. It all makes sense if you automatically suppose that an obligatory charge cannot...
okay, I uploaded a picture of my question into the Photo section. It is the first one listed. It's listed as "1 obligatory halt". As you can see, it's 2...
Has anyone who is a Forum member wargamed this historic engagement? Would you mind if I took a look at the orders of battle you used? Did you draft any special...
hi, from the picture you posted, I don't see the problem (but this is just me) you stated your case as Knights charging Knights, and from your picture, the red...
I agree with emanfpc. If the receiving kinghts have not moved (or moved less than half, making them support charge eligible), they will be pulled forwards by...
Just returned to Armati after spending a while playing other rules (mainly Crusader). Anyway. Just thought I'd expand my Normans into an Anglo-Norman army and...
Thanks. I can buy the rationale that what I am after simply takes place over more than the initial turn of occurrence. A charge is not entirely resolved...
Anglo-Norman War wagons!!! Hmmm ... are you referring to the single Carrico style wagon used by the Bishop of Durham at the Battle of the Standard? As that's...
hi, as far as I know, no one really knows, that information was lost over time, but it was winter and Varus had sent most of his Auxiliary units to winter in...
Within the terms of the situaton or problem you propose (knight vs knight) the charge is not resolved that turn. In the original rules, Arty is against the...
Chris, An interesting question. We have mulled over the impetus abilities of mounted a few times. Game play wise, its reasonably easy to see why all HC get...
Hello, Trying to get my head around Armati. Everything looks good so far, but I was looking at the deployment rules, and had a question. The "no baseline...

The restriction is not as restrictive as it first appears. Put more simply, you can not put heavy infantry on the wings. Pretty much everything else goes. ...
Blimey guys - you all seem to be full of misinformation (polite term for 'rubbish') on this subject. 1). It was NOT winter - it was September AD09 - so that's...
Yes even with this rule, gamey tactics have developed ! A widely acknowledged problem with the deployment rules frequently observed in competitive Armati games...
From an Armati view point - the Warflute 'Garrison Roman' would make a good starting point for Varus' force. I'd limit the munbers of archers on the Roman side...
blow it out your bleep ...oh look at you, you're so smart, aren't we impressed ...not ... sadly for you, you are the one with the wrong information, yes it was...
