Hi: It might be that your scale in WAB is wrong for Megiddo. My uniformed opinion is that WAB really is more of a small quick skirmish action sort of set of...
Dear all, Can anyone point me to any French (eyewitness?) sources, in English translation, for the battles of Agincourt, Crecy or Poitiers? Any help gratefully...

... On Trajans column , I think there are two distinct parts a/ the armour at the base. This looks as if these were trophies etc brought back from the front...
What is not debated is important in the end. That the Sarmatian horses were armoured. The armour trophies at the base do matchup with other sites and art so we...
Apparently there is a book about the alliance of Sarmatians and Romans against Britons along hadrians wall in 175AD. Island of Ghosts is by Gillian Bradshaw...
Looks really interesting. I'll order a copy. I hesitate to mention it, but....theres also an absolutely central role for the Sarmatian cavalry in Warriors of...
... No, but if its a work of fiction I bet it supports your views on the large amount of horse armour and influence on history that Sarmatians should have. ...

Hi Doug, ... (under the Rules, WAB section)... <snip> ... You might like to try giving some of the chariots the feigned flight rule from Armies of Antiquity....
well I think there are several points from -all very interesting! - big battles. It s certainly possible to re-create big battles - its mainly a case of uping...

Note: I don't do WAB, but I've seen it played. I've tried DBA, and watched a few DBM. No one playing DBAnything should be bashing WAB. Neither has a...
I think you have it right. The WAB rules themselves state they are not really designed for a cast of thousands scenario. It's sort of like using DBM for a...
Well, personally, I think DBM sucks. Big time. The rules are unintelligible and unnecessarily complex. And I don't think it leads to results which are any...
1. Do you feel that the Egyptian army at that time was truly a combined arms team? Or was the infantry merely supportive of the chariotry? 2. What was the...

I've come to the conclusion that DBM doesn't do a good job of modeling cavalry which breaks through a single line of infantry. I've never had a game where...
