Hi Kieran, Basically I think your lists are good but I am never satified with lists and I am always changing the ones I make, mainly because I always seem to...
Thanks, Curtis (and John for your reply). I'm looking forward to seeing DOK2. (DOK is one of my favorite games.) A quick question for all: I don't often play...
... I would definitely be interested. Sorry I'm late to respond, I've been pre-occupied in recent months and so am only just now trying to go back through my...
Hi Tonight I am trying out a DOK seige, using the playtest version of the FR! seige rules. I think it will be fun. One of the guys recently bought some castle...
... I really like this a lot. Early black powder guns and all the parphernalia are far from reliable but when they work, whewoo boy! They same could be said...
Here is the latest word file; just got it out last night. Curtis [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

Hi Kieran, Here are some more good Tolkien sites. I don't know if you have been to them but at the Encyclopedia of Arda you can look up specific topics such as...
Hi Had a great game last night - Late 100 Years War Seige, English attacking French Had a mixed wall that was half stone curtain with towers and gate, plus a...
I could have bought a copy of FR! 2 for $15 and I have the errata and expansion set and rules. I needed something new to read !! Hurry up please !! Chris...
I'm sure this subject has been raised before, but since I'm new here... What about a warband unit in FR3? Mobs just don't cut it for me. Sure, they're good for...
Hi, I haven't played FR! yet, just read the FR! Annex and whatever else I could gather on FR! 1 and 2. I am waiting on FR! 3 needless to say, so I said it...
Here is the Warband Stats. from the Ancient Rules Modifications Chipco home site. Chris WARBANDS Cost = 30 Movement Rate = 4/3 Combat Factor = 2 Rally = 7+ +1...
Well, I just ordered a used copy of FR! 2 from Noble knight Games. They still have the expansion set but I already have that. So, in 2 weeks or so, i will be...
... I'm glad its been helpful. I see you're also looking at the ancient rules at the official Chipco site, did you notice that the Annex also hosts the player...
Oh yes, I have looked at it. Not thoroughly though. Interesting and not bad, similar to Classical Hack in the sense that they are rather easy going and...
Remember, the expansion set is to FR1, not FR2--fr2 does not have an expansion (b/c they combined it all into one book). The only additional approved rules...
Dave, I am getting rained-out of work at the moment so I went back and perused your ancient rules. Hey, not bad !! You have some good ideas based on historical...
Oops !! I already bought the expansion set moths ago, and after reading what you wrote went and looked at them and yes indeed they are for #1. I must have...
... Chris, As much as I'd like to take credit for them, I played no part in it other than the formatting and hosting of it on my site. I'm interested in FR...
Greetings! Couple of questions about the new lists for AOG. I admit being pretty dim about the period in question as we all know history ends in 1487, so...

Hi Ken, Some of the lists may appear off to you since they are composites of the information I could come up with for various battles. OB was highly variable ...

Dave, Oh, well then Paul, those FR! Ancient Mods. are pretty good. Iam looking forward to trying to get back into some gaming, no gunpowder though for me. And...
Hi Ken, That's why there's a fudge factor available for you to tweak the lists somewhat to match your ideas. ***** True, but since the new lists don't allow...
