... No, it makes Reg/mobile troops more valuable. I cannot see how it is "jiggery pokery" to deploy your troops according to the terrain, I would have thought...
... The jiggery pockery being, apparantly, the terrible crime of deploying along a terrain feature that wasn't itself parallel with the base edge - clearly not...
On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 9:22 PM, Thomas Thomas ... Seems to me you've misunderstood what a 'quick kill' is supposed to represent. Doubling someone kills them...
... Excpt there's no "history" in DBMM - so nothing about troops getting tired. Plus Wb kill 2 infantry at a time, and are only 1/2 ME each so can take...
Of course some Irregulars had blacksmiths. But professional commisariats made sure (as far as possible) that everyone was properly equipped, that wagon trains...
And the point is that a well-organised Roman army was less likely to be left to starve. If you want to model a Roman army that didn't avail itself of...
Using the suggested wording would only work for the very front rank. When you deploy any troops more than 1 rank deep, the 2nd and susbsequent ranks would not...
FWIW, I've occasionally quite deliberately spent a group of Irr Bw(I) that were acting as a screen to my Irr Kn(F). Once they've done their job sometimes its...
Technically, if this is adopted, the rectangles must also be able to extend off the base edge, if they are to remain rectangles. The front edge of an oblique...
... But if the other army isn't starving either then what is hte difference in what the baggage has achieved? Therewere massive armies historically with...

The conumbrum for me is that the Spontaneous Advance section has, well, the word "advance" in it. Advance to me has always had conatations of moving forward....
... See it now. "There are only 2 instances in which an element can even partly enter a space insufficient for its own frontage between any of: elements,...
That may all be relevant to a campaign scenario, but on the battlefiled? I am not so sure. the baggage (supplies or whatever) is there. End of story. ... ...
Not entirely true Tim. Deploy your troops any way you like, and then draw a rectangle around their deployment area. Depolyment does not have to be parrallel...
I asked: "(Page 12) May I again suggest a reduction in the cost of brilliant generals if they're not regular or Commanders-in-chief? A brilliant irregular ally...

Hi ... simultaneous repulses. I don't think so. The results tie: so both could repulse (this is the simultaneous bit), the bounding player decides the decision...
Hi ... <snip> Is there anything in the current rules which specifies that they must not extend off the base edge? If you want you could clarify this...if you...
