I've not bought any Numidians yet but feel that they (and maybe chariots) need a special rule for shooting and moving. Their main tactic is to canter within...
This is something that had occured to me when the chariots came out. Lack of time meant I hadn't really considered it before. I realise that in "real life"...
Personally, I don't think that increasing the range of javelins when thrown by mounted figures is the way to go (and seems unlikely anyway - so that solution...

... Do Numideans need anything more than the expert Rider rule? Chariots are another matter. ... Hmm. I see what you mean. Cavalry rely so much on the charge...
... That would make the pilum very difficult to use (although it's an interesting idea). Because they can't be thrown on the charge they can only be used from...

Had another great 4 player game this week and with 7 Cornicerns on table and at least 12 heroes, not one horn was blown. Next time I'll try them out on any...
How about having missile shots that hit but do not kill their target, force them back an inch or two instead? Ineffective archery is frustrating but this...
... There is already a similar rule in Legends of the Old West and HighSeas. That is the Dive for Cover test. If a model is hit but not killed then they take a...
I'm not sure that this a a rule for skirmishes. I see the push back effect as more of reduced movement due to formation disruption and morale rather that...
... Hmmm, sounds like a challenge to me! I'll have some conjured up by the weekend! It'll give me a chance to write up a 'Vampire' list for my 'generic...

Excellent work Terry. Could you add an ID number to each scenario and possibly a random scenario generator? And even a terrain generator similar to LoME but ...
