Pictures of the first of two viking units are new at my website. The figures are based for the Crusader rules and are From Crusader with a few additional...
I've played these rules a couple of times and found formed missile troops were very tough against close combat infantry. Others at my club who have played it...
Well I'm happy to have the discussion about whether missile fire is too effective. This may be a long post so those of you with faint hearts (or who don't care...
Mark- Thanks for the detailed response, I wasn't really trying to compare WAB to Crusader. I think you have a very well thought out rules system that is fun to...
Aha, I see your point. It's the fact that after 25% losses are sustained by the unit it will be forced to take a morale test each time that it loses another...
The best thing I can do is point you to the web site page. I don't want to re-hash what I've said there or bore you with info you don't want. I'll be happy...

Yep, both of the examples make sense but from this Saxons move to 23, get shot with 6 dice needing 10 = 0.6 hits move to 15, 12 dice needing 9 = 2.4...
Mark, congratulations on the new Rank & File Rules. The photo of your Austrians on the TMP announcement is inspiring, and brought to mind a few questions. ...
Hi there, I have to be honest and say that I have not put much thought into the next batch of SYW figures. The next release is Russian infantry in shirt but ...

__ But crossbow is already 6, 12, 24. Do you mean change it to 5, 12, 24? Or 5,11,23 ? Or 5, 10, 20 ? I must admit I'm tempted to get rid of long range...

Great news Mark, that probably pushes me over the line to do my SYW Russian army with Crusader figures. With 2009 being the 250th anniversary of Kunersdorf, it...
All this talk about the effectiveness of shooting is relevant for my gaming group. We have been playing Later HYW (Agincourt timeframe). I even posted a...
