... Hi Enrico: We've added a couple of house rules that go with the ECW rules I posted to the files section: 1. If cavalry shoots prior to a charge it loses...
I've only just started MoA, and had a look round the site, but there seems to be potential for more optional rules modelling special tactics of individual...
Bevan: I would consider Dark Age shield walls to be well represented by Heavy Infantry, possibly with a high morale, especially when up against Medium Infantry...
Dear gaming Colleagues, I am currently planning to re-base some still unfinished 25(actually 28mm) Romans to conform to the basing standard set by Phil Barker...
I would think it is better to have the stands the correct size and if they are short a figure so be it. Rich Gause ... From: Bill Cira <billcira@...> To:...
I just double the depth to 40mm (two lines) and keep the width 60mm for two of my unit's stands and add two "single" 20mm stands if I ever want to expand and...

... two ... Double basing is a good idea any how. There are darn few times you would deploy infantry in a single rank under MOA. Double basing also allows...
I use A&A 28mm and can't get them onto 60mm bases. Was using WAB and used 80mm bases and as long as your mates do like wise every thing works out. Trying to...
Thanks Gents! Those are all interesting and thought provoking observations and suggestions. So the way I understand it I would use 60mm X 40mm bases and...

Thanks Mike, I see what you are saying now. Thanks again to everyone else to. I think the best thing is to stick with the 60mm wide standard and just do what...
Just remember MoA melees by the unit, shoots by the base, takes morale by the unit and the number of figures is just eye-candy anyway. :<) I guess that's what...
My personal thoughts, with no basis on historical reality at all: I've just been searching through some old campaign notes from about ten years ago when I was...
