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...
I wanted to use 40mm squares. However, 50mm squares are what i have used. This way i can block up WAB and Warhammer mins. The Warhammer cav base is wider...
I have decided to go down the 40mm square route as well, not sure why but the figures seem to look nicer on these bases. It also gives a bit more scope for...

Phil, Thank you for your interest in MedWar and FanWar. The latter is still being edited and I expect to have it ready in June. I want to playtest the...
Yes. If you are building up on singly based minaitures. Kinda, if you are group basing from the start. You can stagger the line a little. Slightly different...
Hi Jim, those photos are fantastic - they have certainly given me inspiration. I am currently painting a Norman army, but the Crusades era is a period I have...
Hi, I am new to this forum. I am looking for Saracen/Crusader army lists before I go creating my own. It is a period that I am very interested in but I can't...
That is pretty broad question. Several of the armies are covered in the MW Army list. Armies change over the 200 years. Can you be more specific. ie. what...
The majority of my 25/28mm figures are based stands of 60mm frontage as used by DBM, Warrior and similar rules. I do vary the depth of the base with some...
Richard Let me know which ist you want and I shall send you copies. There are several Crusader era lists: EARLY CRUSADE: LATE 11TH TO EARLY 12TH CENTURY ...
I sent Saga 117 to Bruce yesterday for publication. It is later than usual and shorter than the normal 48 pages. It features an article on Caesar's victory...

Hi, Anyone know where I can find an indepth review of these rules? Basing conventions, if they are the same as med war that's all the info i need. Average...
NapWar uses much of the same basic conventions as MW and the rest of the rules. The modified version I am working on now still retains the same sequence of...
well, sort of...at least the 2 packs I have so far! Just the "Regular archers" and the "regular command" so far. The archers have 3 poses, all action ones, 2...
Yes, I actually mount figures individually. I decided that individual basing was the way to go -- then I use sabots for whatever the rules call for. The most...
