The mental picture of all the mahouts destroying their own elephants in response to a signal from the leader puts me in mind of the "Judean People's Front...
All, Yes, I know this is a bit off the beaten path, but all the discussion on TMP has got me interested in the idea of gaming these eras in 15mm. I'm sure...
I have a Bronze Age ("Early Northern Barbarian") army in 15mm, by MY Miniatures. I particularly wanted the army, and in 15mm, and this was the only range I...
I am interested in getting some hussites, likely in 15mm but posibly in 25mm. Any hints as how to best use them? Even as a dog I think a handfull of wagons...
Never used them myself, but I've seen them descibed as one of those armies you can't lose with (because WWg are difficult to kill) but also one that you can't...
Enemy Artillery can really ruin a Hussite's day, and two of their four opponents, IV/13c Medieval German and IV/80 (heretic) Hussites, have Art. elements in...
Given the interesting discussion of War Wagons, I thought that I should point out one small anomaly in the otherwise pretty accurate WADBAG Unofficial Guide...
... Correct me if I'm wrong, but by your interpretation, once an element is in combat with a side edge, the WWg now has 5 legal potential contacts for a secod...
Just two weeks until Cold Wars! Here is the procedure we'll use to choose Play-in Round players for Midnite Madness. Around 5:45 we'll post two lists of...

Bob; Since the WWg element is two EBW deep, there's room for two enemy elements to contact a flank edge. If this is the first WWg edge contacted, it counts as...

Dear All A fast play sheet I've come across for 2.2 has a 'free' move whereby an overlapping element may close the door by moving onto the flank fof the ...

This 2.2 rule can be used in conjunction with the "2nd move" rule for Wb's to allow a Wb to move from out of contact to "closed door" position on the flank...
What Terry writes is true but I wonder if the original question is not just asking about the unmeasured move from overlap to flank. Part of the problem is that...
A War Wagon is two Element Base Widths Deep, but it is not two elements. It has a front edge, a rear edge, and 2 flank edges. It has two front corners. The...
I know we seem to have done this one, with the conclusion that until Phil confirms what the rules actually do say, it is best to check first with your...
Bob, That's not the way Phil said it worked, the first contact that was edge to edge and corner to corner made that the front contact. If the first was a rear...
Mike, are you basing what "Phil said" on an email you got from him. Here is the message you sent in July, 2003 and Phil's response. He clarified the two...
Bob, As tot he corner contact, he showed people what the rule was at a Historicon or Cold Wars he was at. He said that the first contact top a side caused that...
I will stick with what the rules say, legal contact necessary, and what Phil has written, legal contact necessary, for a first side contact. There was only...

... With respect, Bob, that isn't fair. 1) Your interpretation (that the side edge "becomes" the front edge after movement is finished) is just one possible...
Hi Vikas, I think you are in the wrong DBA group. You want some Data Base Administration group. This group is about the wargame, De Bellis Antiquitatis. In...
I have NEVER taken verbal statements by Phil as an interpretation. The shooting from behind was in an email which I posted to this group. Check it out. There...
Sorry Bob. I mis read your original post and didn't realize you were talking about "initial" contact. I agree there are only four places to make initial...
