Hey Paul, Good to hear from you. Sweet, I had a good time playing the rules, but coudn't remember what they were, I guess I coud have asked. At the time, I...
I'm sure this has been discussed before but my game group has a difference of opinion on if the Samurai Bows were similar to the English Long Bows or not. I...
Samurai bows were - like everything Japanese - handcrafted masterpieces made by masters from wood seasoned by their grandfathers. However what made the...

Paul, How you doing over there? We miss you here, well we miss your Macedonians & Monks anyway :). Well maybe not the monks so much. We played a game of MOA,...
One of the things that puzzled a few of the new players I've introduced MoA to is the lack of difference in melee/morale between skirmishers with javelin and...
