Hi Steve ... I suspect the consenus will be to play the 'old' Dbm way even if I think its not what Dbmm says in the strictest sense. To be honest whichever...

Everybody knows that real men game with 25/28 mm. :) I have been using an 8x4 table for my games. I usually stick to 350 AP armies ... That size army seems to...
... many of the nobility at Agincourt may have had at least some steel armor. Most supporting MAA probably still had softer iron armor. Further the first...
Hi Chaps Thanks for these contributions, they more or less square with my perception at the time. The elements in question were Elephants on the road adjacent...
Hi Still thinking through the single element moves and I discover (not sure how I mised this before) that on pg 57 fig 15 there is a tad more evidence...
... SINGLE ... Well spotted! - it certainly has that implication. On that basis, I think that "no dog-legging" may be right. A bit more evidence - the "fig 1"...
I'm thinking about morphing possibilities for a Han Army (the new Essex Han figures) and was looking at the Three Kingdoms list. Does anyone have any...

You might have thought this was over, but: Zanj archers - all Irr Bw (I) @ 3AP, or all Irr Ps (O) @ 2AP 0-8 Delete "Zanj". Replace with "African", or...
In the Fatimid list, "mamluk" Cv can dismount as Bw(O); this _was_ the case in the Abbasid list, but seems to have vanished even though there is specific...
I've just finished reading the newly published "Manx Kingship in its Irish Sea Setting 1187-1229: King Rognvaldr and the Crovan Dynasty" (R. Andrew McDonald....
In Fig 15 B can not enter the gap as the space is insufficient for its own frontage to fit in-between C and X so it can not enter the space.See the top of page...
Your exposition is very good, but you must count another factor that had conduct the french to disaster by the crowd dynamics. The mounts of the Kn were also...
The current Abbasid list has: Only from 868 AD to 881 AD: Upgrade C-in-C (as Ali ibn Muhammad al-Khabith) to Brilliant - add 25 AP 0-1 Unfortunately, this chap...

The current (24/08) draft has: "Only before 825 AD: `Abid - all either single-based Reg Bw (X) @ 7AP or double-based ½ Reg Bw (X) @ 7AP, ½ Reg Bw (O) @ 3AP...
Difficult to know. The reason for C blocking B might be that there is less than an element wide gap between C and X. If we knew whether the Blades were Reg or...
In fig15 I thought that it not possible because there was not a element wide gap to move into, and the 'straight' or 'doglegged' point was involved. Cheers ...
It would be a brave man who invested in new troops ahead of the publication of lists. There are no guarantees about what armies might end up looking like.(not...
Hi Duncan, Nice summary :-) ... To be honest I'm still very wary of the Bw(X) classification. As you say classification is going to be speculative as there...
