Guys Mike is running MoA at fall in. If anyone else is and wants to get into the printed program the cut off is today at 24:00. Also I have a PDF file flyer...
Gents, Our little So. Cal gaming group (after we finish our War of Spanish Succession (WSS) armies :) ) will be basing some Successor war armies for MOA. Our...
I tend to build to 1000 combat points and 3 or 4 Generals using a 3/6 convention. You could use the 2/4 convention, making the units smaller and do 700 to...
Mike Hillsgrove answered this question. I would add that in planning army size, I look at how many units a player will run rather than number of points. Also,...
... I also use the 3/6 format (with occasional 9's for some lower quality troops like the Illyrian MI). However, I shoot for 1500 point armies using 25mm base...
... infantry, which ... are very unlikely ... 40x15 size, but use ... the unit underneath ... movement trays, which ... Our local group has taken to using a...
Understood that it's 15mm ya'll are talking about but the majority of my 600+ figure 25mm Gallic army (chariots not included) are based on double stands as...
Hi gents I have double based byzantine inf units one row spear ,back row bow ,they are heaps more practical. We play 3/6 and also use 8 stands for pike units...
Lately I have been playing a few other rules such as Terry Gore's Medieval Warfare & DBM. On reflection I think that MOA has some of the best movement...
Which MoA army list would be used for this army, which King William defeated at Hastings in 1066? I just can't seem to recognize it in the book. Thanks....
Thanks Chris. I sort of figured that #96 was it because the other prospects did not have the right time periods to include 1066. Clay ... <ccooper827@c...> ...
Basic problem is that most players can't conceive of a movement system without wheels. I teach a fair number of 1st timers and they fight the ease of movement...
... I just based half my Indian archers on double bases. I love it, except for one thing - spackling the base without getting wood putty up the crack of their...
... to stay up late and go to work the next day) Old Age is hell! I've just put two MOA's up on the board for the AoCM. Imperial Rome invades Thrace (I want...
And the one other thing that I would like to see is a good Ancient Siegecraft system. Fact is, there were more sieges than battles. Anyone want to put a wish...
Three attempts minimum to roll the roll you need if the ruleset is yours and the other players are sponging off your generosity! ... From: Smith, Clay...
... I would like MOA2, should there ever be such a thing, to have some command rules & to be less "linear." Just some simple command rules would do. Say...
My condolences. The obtuse rules exist to give rule lawyers an advantage. It's why DBM'ers pay twice the price for rules that 1) Don't come with army lists -...
... I'm confused by the request that MOA be less linear and at the same time to encourage battlelines a little more. This looks like a contradiction. Can you...
... How about making the Classical Indians all Fierce, with "A" Morale? And artillery should definitely be taken out of the game. (At least take it away from...
You are correct in your assessment. By linear, I was referring to game events, not the alignment of troops. As an example of nonlinear game mechanics I listed...
My suggestion for a MOA II isn't to modify the rules. There are none that I disagree with. But, I've been an outspoken proponent of MOA as the premier Ancient...
If you open your MOA rule book and throw away the army lists and the optional rules you are left with a fun set of ancient wargaming rules which are great. Now...
Why throw anything away? The lists are as good as any thing out there and some of the optional rules give certain armies decent capability and character. I'm...
