... That's why you test such things ... Being surprised or deploying out of camp is probably the only time that troops on a battlefield are not in a proper...
Hi 1 Feb 09 : event dates now confirmed.(7th-8th March 09) 400AP DBMM comp, Open lists, held in Dublin at the Teachers Club DBMM Event rules (except it is only...
... You can always solve this as an opponent did recently - rolling all combats down a line of Cv, then doing follow-ups down the line... No, not really. Nick...
... helped a lot of times (the look on opponents faces when they realised they don't recoil was alone worth it). Yes, alas poor Viet Cong (whoops, ten circuit...
... A "small dent" won't be represented by an element recoiling! And most "walls" are not steel - they are wood and leather and sometimes iron. But all that...
I thought that was why they built the great wall, to keep the rabbits out.. certainly makes sense when you consider all those pyramids that have crystals in...
I think that if you get a repulse result and have a second line this reverts to a recoil. There is no repulsing back through a line IIRC. ... On ... sometimes ...
I think it depends on what is being repulsed. Psilio can repulse through any land troops for instance. ________________________________ From: raybriggswargames...

10 minutes is not a long time to allow a charge, melee, fall back, reorder and then charge again. I doubt if more than 1 charge could be accomplished in this...
As it is next to impossible to hurt (S) mounted when they charge in against foot, allowing them to have a nibble and if it doesn't work, caper off safely...
... I'm not sure there is enough Babylonian evidence to be sure, but doesn't Nigel in AANE imply that the Assyrians copied the long shield from Egypt? Cf. the...
Hi folks, Just posting a shameless ad for a couple of armies I have put onto e- bay. This includes a Classical Indian and my massive, all conquering Mongols!...

The current Marching rules have, like all complex rules, simply repackaged the problem and moved it to a diffierent area. The problem is small bodies of troops...
