Assembly Point is a two day mini con starting September 6- 7, 2008. The convention will be held in Glen Burnie, Maryland at: Games & Comics & Stuff 7476...
Our group in the Phoenix area is putting together a Chariot Wars group of games. A "discussion" has started over the seemingly over powerful light chariots....
Right on. I promised to post new chariot numbers some time ago but got derailed with Historicon and then a long trip. I'll get to it in the next few days. Bob...
Although I'm neither a military nor a MOA expert, here a few comments. Feel free to ignore them if you like :-) Rough terrain melee modifiers: not sure if...
A friend of mine, and a long-time MOA gamer, read Drews' book on chariot warfare. He came up with a number of house rules for biblical army light chariots...
To introduce a piece of background for a discussion of chariots, I've read Drew's book also. It is an extrapolation, a model, based on Egyptian sources....
I've been experimenting with rules changes for the past few years, getting ready for a second edition of MOA (which is still two years away). I've uploaded a...
(Bob, if this looks somewhat like the email that I apparently (maybe?) sent you, it is because this stupid yahoo group setup gives you no feedback as to...
... Actually, "End of the Bronze Age" is a hypothesis about a change in tactical battlefield paradigms being the root cause of the socio- political upheaval in...
I like the idea of light chariots being able to skirmish. Celtic chariots being able to dismount as infantry would be good also. Rich Gause ... From:...
Comments below. ... In the original rules, counting the -2 for HI fighting MI in rough terrain, the factors are equal, 4 to 4. I'm not sure about this either...
... "Superior is already taken by WRG. ... and FOG. what about "uber" ;-) I'll try and think of something. But I suspect you're right, I'll get used to "grand"...
Sorry for this, but it is a catatonically slow day at work. :) Rather than "superior", thesaurus.com recommends: as an adjective - antecedent, excellent,...
Bill and Ted said it best.... "most excellent"! We used to use "savage" or "killer" to denote way-coolness. "Savage" would probably not apply to SCOTT'S Romans...
... I'll use the word dominant for my Amazon Heavy Infantry. The word "Professional" says it better than any of the other adjectives. Don't over complicate it...
For now, just write in the old modifier for foot vs elite foot, and cite this email for justification. I'll comment that classification of some troops will...
I like Superior or Elite better than Grand. Either just sounds better. I don't think DBA/WRG can copyright an adjective. Rich Gause ... From: Mike Hillsgrove...
How about "Awesome"? Scott would have to compare his Roman "Awesome infantry" vs. Steve's "Generic infantry" on the quick sheet. Other suggestions are: ...
How about some other gamers chime in here. It would be helpful to hear from at least 10 gamers on the acceptability of grand. If the choice is between grand...
Since you've apparently decided "superior" is now eligible, I vote for "superior" over "grand". ... hear from at least 10 gamers on the acceptability of grand....
Anything is eligible. Somebody just might come up with something that is suitable. Consider armored also to be in the running. I guess armored is no more...
Looking over the new chart, it seems that you are overly penalizing formed cavalry armed with bows. They do not get the +2 for the charge and the units...
Bob, I love the term "Grand". It is unique and the moment I read I thought of phalanxes of Hoplites marching into Persian arrows. Why do we have to follow...

The way it is stated on the chart, cavalry who shoot with bows on the turn they charge don't get the +2 modifier. If they give up shooting before they charge,...
