My understanding is that this can be done for 2 PIPs (1 PIP during the first bound) by a. A single element b. A group made up entirely of dismounting elements....

Fernando from Corvus Belli just e-mailed me some pictures of the new Spanish Scutarii and Caetrati. They are pretty F***ing good looking. I am ordering about...
Since those are all matched pairs I was thinking along the same lines, but I am worried that the Roman/Greek match up will be a bit one sided (Spears against...
Strangely enough, all Armies well match up. At first I thought the Hoplite Army would be the flyer, but when you considered that both the Alexandrian Army...
Gentlemen, When in the process of wheeling Chariots. Does one measure from the front corner or from the rear corner in a wheel? Guys, thanks in advance for...
Well, as I have said before, those Blades are pretty tough on anyone from their own time period. Maybe it's just my lack of imagination, but I can't figure...
2.2 says individual elements must measure their move from the corner that moves the furthest. I think this should be applied to a group wheeling as well,...

Ok guys, you will love this! Especially the nOOb's like me! Ok, take any empty element base. Take two thin wires, and attach one wire to each Front Corner of...
Hi there! In a case where a single element moves backwards into "rear edge to front edge" lineup (side edges are in contact, front corner touching rear corner)...
Ok, we know that single elements can move directly backwards at their full movement rate (a little un-realistic, but we attribute that to a full PIP is being...
Geometry 101 :-) Assume a WWg in the Pythagorean Greeks which has an element base size of 40x80mm in 15mm. Assume AA is WWg facing right: AAAA AAAA Now, assume...
... "or to retire directly to its own rear" suggests that (silly as it seems) the element can keep backing directly towards the enemy element. :-) ... the...
