Yes I realize that for units like knights, Pikes and Rangers, thanks. What about Spears and Hand Weapons that can be either veteran or regular? For example...
Veteran units, Page 26: "Heavy infantry, 0 extra points, are either HW or Spear units with enhanced armor protection (or protective tattoos or tough skin)...
Thanks for the clarification, I had read the section on page 26, it just seemed strange that it did not explicitly say the ONLY advantage of buying veteran...
As they don't really have specific campaign rules presumably you could use a campaign map from pretty much other source, such as THW's Warrior Heroes. From:...

The Wizard Kings maps would work well. They have hexes and are geomorphic, so you can lay out the maps any way you want. Columbia Games sells them in sets of...
I checked your website and found a map of Europe, is this the one you mean or is there another one? I was looking for something more in the classic Fantasy...
Thanks the map looks good but is it available in an electronic version? My plan is to have particpants play campaign moves online and when battles result we...
I have a FR!TCE game set for Friday for 3 players. Not sure how to handle that as all 3 armies are about 1,000 points. I was thinking of making one army the...

Given the scale of thousands of troops traversing a series of hedges, it sounds like the hedges would be difficult terrain rather than a defensible wall. ...
Where I live (Kent, England) we have serious hedges, rather like those in Normandy. If your hedges are like these they should be a serious barrier ! John ...
