Hi all, I have posted some revisions we have made for the Italian Wars, including a QRF. Our group in Los Angeles developed (is developing?) these for use in...

David, After a quick look, I have a few questions. 2.B.i: Could you explain this in a bit more detail? I understand that the first two conditions are...
I have just finished this weeks painting project, 4 Macedonian Elephants, they look great, now some questions about their use in MOA this weekend. Q1 The rules...
Q1 The rules allow for mixed units can I add a Elephant to a unit of Pike or LI Bow? Technically no. You can add some figures to the base and call them bow...
The rules don't allow mixing of different troop types in the same unit. You can mix missile-armed and melee-armed, but only if they are the same troop type,...
... Trying to re-create the Magnesia deployment, eh? Not sure the Macedonians ever thought of that one, and it didn't do much for the Seleukids when they did....
To simulate Elephant screens that were used to screen cavalry wings and thefore disorder opposing cavalry, elephants could cause enemy cavalry to take a morale...
We allowed the use as a 3 stand unit or alternately 3 individual stands interlaced along the front. As it turned out, they chose as a whole unit, it routed...

The unit of four Elephants resplendant in their new paint job were accompanied by a single Elephant to guard their flank....this miserable wretch was shaken...
Elephants are as close to FROGs as on can get in Ancient warfare (FROGs being Free Rocket Over Ground) It is best to send them out on their merry way and hope...

In 20+ years of wargaming with Elephants, on not one occasion have elephants under my command EVER struck the enemy. When I want to give the enemy an...

... Well, they are, sort of. They just happen to be panzers that are being driven by drunken bipolar tankers who haven't taken their meds today. Oh - and...
... Actually if you tried to use PANZERs the way you imply when you say "Panzers", it would be a bad day for the Weirmacht. As for elephants, I've said my say...
Hmm, as someone with an Indian army, I will say that I do not think of elephants as suicide troops. They are expensive, and can be dangerous to your own...
My experience has been that my opponents always put skirmishers up against my elephants, which hardly makes them effective. Lately I've been holding them back...
Yeah, especially with all those naked women you have painted on them. That's what is really attracting everybody's attention. John And, heck, don't forget how...
... <Shrug>... it's an incentive thing really. The equal-chance of routing in all directions means that a) getting your elephants surrounded by the enemy can...
Before I get any lewd messages, the naked women are not actually on the elephants, but, rather, painted on the banners the men on the elephants are carrying....
Given my luck with Elephants, me running an Indian army would be short and very bloody battle. The enemy might not even have to get seriously engaged. Better...
