One of the ideas in an earlier draft of the rules was to set up all train at the same time as baggage. (war wagons and artillery would set up with the...
Morning all, Just a quick point for the far off day when the lists are revised-can Byzantines in Italy, have Lomabard allies and vice versa? Also that the...
I set the EE calc up as ME's, so Bd(S) was 2 EE per frontage, Sp(S) 4 ME per frontage, Sp(I) 1 ME and Sp(O), Bd(O) and Bd(I) 1 ME Alastair ... losses ... the...
One thing that's struck me in the issue of Bd/Pk/Sp is why is the QK is in the blade's bound? The idea is to represent the effect of the Romans on a...
Just ran it again DBM simulated c mbat run. v2.2 31st Jan 2004,Steve Burt Element width 60mm. 50 paces = 40mm 10 Elements. 10000 iterations, starting 100...
From: "alastair2d" <xtr152105@...> ... Yep - and it's exactly the amount I said it would be before. ... I doubt if most Spartan armies take 20 Sp(S) nor...
... I wanted to try some QKs on enemy bound for a few other things, however Steve's simulator doesn't allow it yet (I probably should have asked him for it! :)...
... No it isn't this - the idea is to encourage Bd to attack, and to provide them with suitable odds of getting a kill. This email and its accompanying...
... Are you labelling all (O) troops as cowards then? Because nothing I have ever read indicates that anyone has "accused" Indian archers of being cowards. On...
I was initially somewhat relieved to discover that Classical Indian longbowmen have lost their Bw(S) grading in DBMM, a situation made evident by their removal...

... That doesn't mean they won't be designing armies along "tournament" lines. Indeed later on in the year I wouldn't be surprised to see a few DBMM ...
... I'm not sure how you figure this one. Against El: same in enemy bound; Sp one factor higher in own bound. Against Cm(S): Sp are one factor higher, but QKed...

... Where QK means QKed, not QKing, yes. But not starting from a factor of 3: then I'd rather have the extra factor. The higher the initial factor the more...
... Er, that's the opposite of what I said. ... Which is the same in the Bd bound, and better against the Kn than the Cm in the enemy bound. So the Bd should...
... Sorry - I misread that. Perhaps the simulator is not doing the own bound support properly. However, the original comments remains that Sp is much better...
