If you received email about heavy chariots and heavy cavalry just prior to this one, please ignore and delete the earlier email. I made a mistake in referring...
These are two of my favorite armies, and I've fought this one many times. The chariots should have a large (2-3 factor) advantage over the cavalry of this...

The cav of that time had smaller horses than today and no stirrups so I can see them being inferior to the chariots on clear level terrain, but on anything...
Since the cavalry should be easier to maneuver (theoretically) and should be able to concentrate more force in a single area, I would give a slight edge to...
I've got 16 classic Hinchcliffe 28mm Assyrian heavy chariots in my army. They SHOULD always be superior to cavalry on any given day so I can get the most from...
Touche! Point, Set, Match! By the way didn't the Washington Mutual send the same message "Since we will continue to use the existing rules, your investment is...
Bob, You mentioned in a past post that you were working on allowing Romans to exchange lines. Is it possible to get an idea on how this will be done? Thanks, ...
Question on skirmishers in combat. Say a unit of skirmishers is in combat with an elephant unit and a formed unit charges into the skirmishers, What happens...
There were 5 votes on chariots vs cavalry as follows: 2 votes for heavy chariots being superior to heavy cavalry (in one case for the period and the other for...
The current version for Roman line exchange works as follows: A legionary unit consists of a single rank. You pay the cost for the troop type but not elite...
Here's my next question. Take Greek hoplites in 479 BC at the Battle of Plataea, at which the Greeks defeated the Persians. Take Roman legionaries at the...
No. And the reason is that the #1 factor in victory in Ancient Warfare is Generalship. This is as it should be. Weapons evolved, but were not radically...
I would give a slight edge to the Romans. My impression is that the average Roman Legionaire was better drilled and was more likely to be a full time...
So Mike, are saying that Hans Delbruck's 4 book series called the The Art of War (quite brilliant in places) was a waste of time? Interesting. Why bother...
... pike (and the tactics that lie behind the weapons) matter a great and should be represented in any game worth its salt. One of the reasons I find MOA a bit...
There is going to be some more detail in the second edition. PERIOD! But not much more. The numbers of troop types will be very much what they are now. Maybe...
I would give a small advantage to the Romans. Here's how I looked at it: If, as I've read, Hoplite warfare involved phalanxes approached each other slowly and...
Just because line replacement pilums etc... matter is no reason that they have to be explicitly modelled. I am perfectly fine with a +/- 1 modifier showing...
Rick, no disagreement in principle. On the otherhand, I find that all HI C class troops feel the same to me, regardless of weapon type or tactical training. As...
Romans should have an advantage due to their training and their leadership ("centurionship") in the ranks. Considering what I know about Zama and the history...
My impression of what I read from punic and "classical" greek warfare is, that the roman system for line exchange gave them a larger staying power. I may be...
It would be helpful to me to get a few more responses on my last play balance question, if you haven't already commented. Here it is: The match up is Athenian...
Both tactical systems (the legion squares and the hoplite phalanx) were very sound for their day, but I would have to say that in MOA (which is a Morale game),...
No, there is no Hussite list. I am considering including them for MOA II, but that means working out some rules for fortified wagons. I expect to get to it...
