I'm fighting a lot of BBDBA at the moment. My opponent is Polybian Roman while my army is Seleucid :) While we've had some cracking and sometimes very tense...
... "An element not in close combat to its front but in mutual right-to-right or left-to-left corner contact with an enemy element overlaps it." Clearly not...
... The way you describe it, the psiloi does nothing. If the Wb is killed (recoiled will kill it, since it has an element hitting its flank as well as front...
... "support" is a technical term for aiding combat factor by giving +1 or +3; Psiloi will never do that for Warband. In the situation you describe, no...
... No overlap. If the front element is recoiled, it is destroyed as its recoil is blocked. If the front element is recoiled, the rear guy is NOT destroyed --...
... Dave Schlanger and I just used Marian Roman (with Numidian ally) to win the Big Battle Doubles at Fall-In. Our three opponents all had lots of Knights: we...
... Are you sure? To me, English is a secondary language, by I'd have thought that a rear edge comprises inter alia two rear corners. And while hitting an...
... P.11, 4th paragraph from the bottom: Enemy contacted on their rear edge by a recoiling [...] element's rear edge or rear corner, or on a side edge by its...
David thanks for taking the time to answer. But never mind the Knights he also has to contend with warband and scythed chariots. Having a Psilo elelment in...
... So? Against Warband he is +5, +6 with psiloi support. If he lets your Warband kill anything in good going, he has made a serious mistake. Scythed...
... Yes, in 2.0 it's "Enemy contacted on their rear edge by the recoiling element's rear edge or rear corner, or contacted on a side edge by its rear corner...
... Yup. He had forgotten the case of a column colliding with the blocking element, and the case where the initial contact was with a flat edge on a blocking...
... I see your point. I cannot console you, save like this: Everything can be made to look stupid if you focus on the wierdest border conditions. An element...

If the Ps/Bd is fought first and if the Ps flees, the Wb may not be able to recoil. It depends on how you interpret the part of the recoil rule that says, "A...
... When you say "we", Terry, do you mean just Spokane, or Seattle as well? I don't remember coming into contact with that interpretation when I was out there...
The question is, is sliding past an element the same as meeting it? I have never heard of an element being destroyed by sliding past an enemy unless, it...
Since I do not keep a log of opponents and rules questions addressed, I do not know who "we" is. I do know the few times this matter has come up that is the...
