Hi After being locked away in my office for 3 days Hobilar 67 is now at the printers. It should be ready to collect on Saturday, 14th July. For those members...
Hi I forgot to tell everyone that apart from those given out at the Rampage show last Sunday, the rest were posted Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Enjoy! Dave...
I realise this is a bit of fun in the game and can see the point logically if troops come upon a piece of rough terrain or their lord is killed where disarray...
I don't think that it is that easy to keep a large group of people in a proper formation when moving, even over a few hundred yards. Perhaps some re-enactors...
I have re-enacted American Civil War battles involving several thousand participants and have always found battalions to move fairly well together, there may...
Hi, I have read your post and found them interesting. There is a difference between re enactors and people that actually fought in WOR even ACW. The re...
Of course there is a fear factor involved in close combat, but that is not what I am talking about. I find it difficult to believe that a medieval battle...
Hi All Just to remind you that I'll be in the United States for the Historicon Convention in Lancaster Pa. I'll be back on August 1st. However I leave for...

I too have re-enacted ECW as a combatant in a fairly large body , and I agree that it is not difficult to advance forward together as one unit. If as a large...
I agree that movement should be as per battle, lumps and bumps of a battlefield are not difficult to negotiate.A linear obstacle which is represented on the...
Hi Macker et al. I think we all agree (in varying degrees) the general comments presented in your email. As for Missile troops, the orders issued to them will...
Ian, I have been trying to hunt down the P3 discussion group and so far have found nothing, any pointers? George [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... have found nothing, any pointers? There is no discussion group for P3. There is a closed working group. Ian White is the team leader. As hear if you want...
I must have the wrong end of the stick then, I thought there was a group looking at updating Poleaxed with a view to publishing P3. ... From: Martin Stephenson...
Gentlemen, If I might add my "reenacting" experience to this thread, let me say this, in the SCA battles (Medieval reenactment here in the States), I've seen...
Chaps, Let me try and answer a few questions in one email... The rules are in the early stage of being re-written. There is a Google Group wich is carrying out...
Thanks for clearing that up Ian. I think what I wrote before went straight to you, but I would like to bring it up here for discussion. I refought Bosworth at...
Ian, Yes, I'm on the Google site, just had not seen any activity on it for a while. I'll keep my eyes peeled as I'm really looking forward to participating in...
Two threads have been started here recently, both about crucial game mechanics in Poleaxed, the dissarray question and the one I brought up on the effect of...
... Two points: [1] This is not a Poleaxed specific forum but a general medieval wargaming forum and as such supports all rules systems. I suspect we have...
Chaps, Let me try to sort a few more issues (and possible raise some more). 1. There is a 'closed' Google Group dedicated specifically to the development of...
I know this is not a Poleaxed specific forum, but my comments are specific to Poleaxed, I am merely trying to find out how many people out of the 161...
Hi I have the Poleaxed rules but have not had an opportunity to play them much. I also play other systems DMx, Armarti etc and have some experience in...

I have recently joined LAL and a relative newcomer to Medieval period in general. I wonder if I can pose a question now that Poleaxed has comeinto discussion?...
The rules are slanted towards the Wars of the Roses but could be used for most medieval encounters. The set up is fairly rigid in that 'contingents' make up...
