Very good news! I took the rumor reported on the Meeples & Miniatures Blog to be fact and have proceeded with plans. The historical game is already in...

Actually, I have set them up as four units of PH 7[0]0 +1, etc. I have read Lazenby's work, and just recently purchased Carey's book. Not the same as reading...

Well, after Xantippos reorganized the army on the Hellenistic model, they probably were organized as four 4,000 men phalanxes, not in 12 separate 1000 men...
Please note the date change to Saturday 17 April 2010. The following week is I believe the date for Salute, with which we really would not want to clash!...

1) Does a wider unit (eg a Carthagian HC unit) attacking a foot unit (eg a Roman cohort) in deep formationand from the rear still get the +1 for wider...
I would be very tempted to mess up the Roman command system for this battle. Three Heavy commands only, one for each cavalry wing, and one single command for...
1 - yes (we play that they would get it against flank to, provided it is a one unit on one unit fight) 2 and 3 - this means in the next movement phase that a...
Last night at the NJCON, we put on a scenario and introduced some gamers to Armati, the scenario played well and they all seem to have like playing using...
Just a reminder that if we can get at least 8 players willing to participate there will be a 15mm Armati competition at Britcon this year. Britcon is being...
Just a reminder that we will be fielding a one day Armati doubles event at Stoke on Sunday 26th of July. Each pair of players must field a 100BP 15mm army with...
Hi, Mark 3 heavy CRs seems a bit harsh. I prefer mandating where they go or what size. no out of command Principes or Hastati. No single unit HC divisions. ...
Well done! If you could, how about some details of the scenario, the figures used, the terrain? How many played and how many stopped by for a look? It is a bit...
Based on mechanics and flavour, it is surprising, but there are dozens of perfectly good games that never get played or fade away because of the buzz about a...
I had a situation that I did not know how to handle recently. My opponent had a division of 2 units. he wished to advance one in contact with one of my unit,...
Hi Vincent, We always played that when you split you split. An about face is legal but it will cause voluntary spit. However I don't think you can do this...
Does that mean splits only at the start of movement? I thought you could voluntarily split and keep going forward if your other unit made contact. If first...
I dont think it automatically illegal. But it would be unusual (in games i play, anyways). If the charge/melee unit contacts, and is close enough that the...
Stepping away from the rules A body of soldiers in two "recognised" units working together are close to a body of enemy soldiers. One of the units charges the...
unless, of course, second enemy mounted unit is threatening the rear of both of our friendly uniits. In which case, unit about facing is covering unit...
The about face move has to be that units only move of the turn. So if the unit moved forward in order for the other unit to make contact to make contact, then...
We're more used to us asking you for rules interpretations, Vincent ! [:)] In this case I personally would say that no, the unit which does not move into...
