All: I'm in something of a quandary. I've actually got my wife interested in miniatures gaming, and even in ancients. This is a great thing. The problem is...
I've thought that certain kinds of miniatures games should work with a hex grid. I've seen a game like that at Historicon. I haven't given any thought to how...
I'm a recent convert to MoA after a number of years playing Advanced Armati and before that DBM. My impressions thus far are that MoA is far and away the best...
See comments below. --Bob ... Yes. See page 32, first column, last paragraph. ... No. A unit cannot make an oblique move at all when charging and pursuing ...
Bob's already answered your questions, but we play a fair amount of MOA here, so I'll give you our interpretation as I understand your question. ... We use the...
Thanks Bob! I have a particular friend who enjoys playing devil's advocate and almost ALWAYS finds some way to get into an 'unusual' situation. I think she...
Thanks for your input Mike. I must admit I find your interpretation of one rank LI being SI for evade purposes tempting, with the two rank LI counting as...
For a MiniMoA game of about 350/400 points, with 15/20 units, how many leaders are recommended? I'm uncertain if 2 or 3. For optional rule no. 22, how many...
Hi list, i'm Paolo from Italy and i'm new to the list and almost new to wargaming in genaral. Actually, after a few boring matches with DBM rules in a local...
I don't understand the kind of movement described at page 31, "Countercharge Move": `… the movement taken is one-half of the movement allowance or one-half...
I universally provide 4 Generals with every army. 1 General and 3 SubGenerals. Occasionally, I'll add a General for larger or diverse armies. Essentially...

... The only way to find the answer is to try different numbers of leaders and see how you like it. I recommend that an army be divided into groups of 3-6...
... I don't know how else to say it. In practice, charging and countercharging units meet half way. There is a restriction on the unit countercharging--it...
... I didn't try to develop rules for war wagons. Movement distances for wagons are specified, and the rules cover foot defending fieldworks. I can only...
Here i am with another question: how must i apply the rules written in page 51 and 52 to a MiniMoa game? The problem is that MiniMoa units have only one (or...
In page 29, the rulebook defines "obstructed flanks" for charging purposes. Then, in page 36, it defines the "supported flank" as morale modifier. Definitions...
In MiniMOA each unit is one stand wide and should come into contact with only one enemy unit to the front. You would never split attacks against against two or...
Obstructed flanks on page 29 and supported flanks are different concepts. The idea of obstructed flanks is to prevent an attack on the flank of a unit that is...
Locally, we ignore the "Supported Flanks" rule as per the optional rule - it simply isn't necessary and would not apply to many army types anyway. It would...
Hi, Just getting into Ancients having bought the MoA rules. Can anyone tell me what, if any, figures from the Baccus 6mm ranges would be suitable for Dacians...
- Its not 6mm but close - OldGlory now has 10mm Ancients and I bought some of their Sarmatian cavalry (nice one piece figs) and also Dacian infantry with...
I've finished unit 10 (of 19) planned units for this army. Additionally I'll be adding a unit of female samurii as Light horse (Bow) and one of Medium...
[To the folks at MOA group, this was a playtest of the Army Morale rules in todays Western Imperial Roman (1157 CP) vs Thracian Army (1250 CP) fight today....
First, thanks for your answers, Bob and Mike. Here another question: i'm planning to play MoA with 6mm miniatures arranged in 15mm bases, considering 1 base =...
... Lest someone get the idea that the worn on 2 rule has been universally adopted, I want to point out that not everyone uses it. My guess (but no data) is...
