I don't know about the rest of you but I have just about worn the corners off my 4 sided dice. Suckers just don't roll. Well I have found something that at...
If you want to avoid rolling those D4's you have to steal the other guys army list. Chock it up to a nice bit of subversion on your part. Victor ... [Non-text...
Hi Guys, My group and I did a FOB Civil War battle on Friday night and few questions came up. 1) Can artillery that is on a road in a town fire down? 2) Can...
Gentlemn, My name is Graham, I live in Brussels. Although I have been a wargamer for the past 41 years I am new to the Group and to the Piquet system. I have...
Hi Graham, there is a WW1 supplement called 'Barrage' which covers the whole war..I have played several early 1914 scenarios and found the rules work well-...
Graham - you could do so without any real problems. We play a lot of Franco-Prussian war games with FoB, and it works great. The big difference is that there...
Brent and everyone Thanks for the replies. I will give it a go - its just that I acquired about 600 painted figures 3 years ago and have yet to find a...
One more if I may interrupt.. A)If you unit routs due to doubled in close combat is your UI automatically 0?? irrespective of losses sustained ?? Or B) can you...

Peter Yes indeed and thanks. I read it yesterday and have posted the address to some of my regular opponents. Mainly to encourage them in thier painting...
Brent, I saw a few episodes too and I agree that they missed a great opportunity. I want more of the map move "chess-play" and the reasons why force x moved to...
I couldn't agree more! When I'm looking through a book, I'll buy it in a heartbeat if it has good maps! As an aside - has anyone seen the series "20th Century...
John and Dan Snow you mean, I think. I have not seen the 20th C ones as they appeared on the UK channels that do not make it to the continent and no Belgian ...
We played FoB Napoleonics this past weekend and came upon a seemingly odd situation (well, odd in the sense of "not common") and I'm looking for comments. A...
I rather enjoyed the D-Day ep where they first berate Hollywood for portraying it as an American show and then go onto so show they know nothing of the events...
It depends on how literal you choose to read the tabletop results. My interpretation would be that the limbered artillery and infantry didn't really enter...
After getting into my Masters program for History, I have found a lot of the academic field really dislike the History Channel. As one of my professors in...
I tend to agree with Brent. There are some historical precedents - Ramsey's Troop (?) and Sanna's Post (?) - I don't have access to my books at the moment -...
With all due respect, Utah, in front of the flooded fields and marshes was not Omaha under the cliffs. The level of casualties of all types was much, much less...
Hi guys, I have just purchased a couple of armies for the Early Crusades. I did it without reading Archon and have a Muslim army that does not appear in the...
That Muslim army may be in BoB2. It covers the Crusades. I don't have the book in front of me to verify it though. Sounds like you got yourself two pretty...
... it could be that only 12 proved fatal on the beach itself. ... Thinking this low figure suspicious, I started doing some research...for which I owe the...
Brent, I hadn't considered that the artillery could actually be avoiding contact. I guess I fell into the trap in which many gamers fall, that figure bases in...
Graham, Excellent examples of artillery avoiding/surviving potential melee situations! I fully accept that it was, historically, a rare occurrence merely to...
Bob Interesting stuff, I had assumed that the figures had come from the aid station returns, as you say the figure is indeed much higher. I think that I would...
