I am surprised that no one has chimed in to answer this! There are 4 crewmen in a Heavy Bombard. Check out page 113, the bottom of the "after 1400" list for...
My response ended up in a black hole. This happens occasionally. There are basically two types of gunpowder artillery used in MW. The first are immobile guns...
only close order infantry go low of ammo and out of ammo or any unit with shoot weapons? Cavalry, skirmish and loose order foot don't go low and out of ammo? ...
Any unit that is armed with a missile weapon can suffer either a "low on ammo" or "out of ammo". In MW, a unit that uses "Arrow Barrage" will immediately...

We begin to play Saga games and friday night we play Mons Badonicus, I have 4 questions: 1) With advance order a unit begin a melee? obviously without charge...
Berthier, I have four answers: 1) Yes, you can advance into melee. 2) Yes, warband gets +2 for Fanatic and +2 for frenzied foot in the 1st round. 3)...
Berthier, Sorry for the delay in responding. I needed to get my rulebook back from a friend. In answer to your questions: Units with Advance orders must move...
Hi, 1. Yes, you can advance into contact without the need for a charge order or its benefits. Given that you're refighting Mount Badon, the Saxons would be ...
It is apparent that there are some differences between the MW published by Foundry in the UK and the older version published by Saga in the USA. I do not...
I have sent the draft copy to Bruce for his final approval. Hopefully it will be ready for distribution next week. Sorry for the delay and I do plan to have...
Hello, if a fragmented unit is already in melee, a retire order to it will drive this unit to rout automatically...do you confirm? thanks Michele Italy--...

... Michele, Not necessarily. If the unit retires one-half of a move it will not become routed. It the fragmented unit moves more than one-half move then it...
Interesting notion on shieldwall. My expectation is that it should be impossible for a properly braced shieldwall to go anywhere at any speed. That's kinda the...

Hi Larry, Re: hoplites: but did they move? From Tyrtaeus through Xenophon and Thucydides, the notion is that your typical hoplite encounter starts with the ...
Mike, One of the problems of writing rules that cover a broad timeframe is that certain things tend to be generic. It is difficult to incorporate special...
Mike, I believe that the source is Tacitus. There was a thread on the ANCMED Yahoo Group regarding this a few months ago. Hoplites did advance in an...
Dear All: I reference to did hoplites move? Hans Victor Davidson's the "Western Way of War" had a much different interpretation of Hoplite warfare than...
JamesRoache has kindly given me permission to publish some Photograhps of his Crusader Armies I hope that they can provide Ispiration to Members Jim...
Yes, Victor Davies Hanson is, to my mind, the best writer on hoplite warfare. He analyses the war poetry of Tyrtaeus. The psyching up, the sacrifice, the...
Hey everybody: What base sizes do you folks use for your 25/28mm figs? I think the existing "WRG" sizes are going to be a bit small to fit 4 figures...
