I build armies for others to play. Usually, it's for convention games with multiple people per side. As such, I look for armies that have character, have a...
The gamers seemed to enjoy the game. For the first time, I tried hidden movement in the beginning, since Pavia was a case of opposing units not knowing where...
Mike, I agree on the 'multi-stand' bases. Several of my group of friends who play MOA base their infantry two bases deep. We still do it one base wide, but I...

Well, I don't like going more than one stand wide for several reasons - within MoA, I sometimes play 2/4 stand unit games (rather than 3/6). I do also play...
