I was hoping someone else could help you here. I avoided assaults on strong fortifications in the rules because it is a very different kind of game and not one...
Thanks Bob, I do appreciate the input. Thats what I was looking for. I too don't want to be bogged down on long drawn out siege, but add some variety to the...
I have used the rules from Tactica Medieval for assaults and find them quite useable. I have aloso adapted the movement/ranges to reflect whatever rules I was...

Hello All, My questions is; How would I rate Celt-Iberians with my Spanish (#38) army? I believe the Light Infantry convert to medium would be the Scutarii...
That sounds good to me. However, to confuse you, I might consider the following: Skirmish, two figures per stand, C or D morale. Light, three figures, C or...

If you want to emphasize a difference between Celt-Iberians and other Spanish, you could make the C-I's be subheavy infantry. That's not in the list, but if...
Hi Guys Not to muddy the waters, but they did have a rep for stubborn fighting. I would agree with the classing, but would think that a higher morale level ...
Hello all, I ran another mega Roman civil war game the other day, and a question came up about units allowed to melee. The set-up was a Roman unit two ranks...

I never thought of that application, and quite like it. You say 'similar'...what exactly was the difference with your rule? I'd like to compare the difference...
Lorne, When I had a Light Infantry unit deploying from a seige tower, counted the first two stands for the first wave in the melee and my opponent had six...
I see what you're getting at, and it would work well in the situation you describe. To clarify my previous rule, I actually looked around and found the...
