Hi All. I am cross posting this and if there is any problems please let me know. I Have updated my blog with some work I did over the Holiday weekend, and ...
All: Tim and I were able to play our first game this last Sunday. Tim's viscous and foul tempered undead attacked my peace loving goblins for no reason...

Hi All, I have been playing with a software program called Battle Chronicler, this is a tool to create battle reports. http://battlechronicler.com/ I have...
Hello All, While wandering thru Historicon I stumbled across an original copy of the Fantasy Rules and its expansion. While I play DoK it is nice to peruse...
I've been trying to find the original rules in my computer for a while, I have a feeling they are in a file that was corrupted some time ago :-(. I have nice...
I have about ten unopened copies of the original FR! that I have offered as premiums to figure sales (there are a LOT of cool figures on the website). I do not...
I for one would like to have all 4 versions, and that would be the last. And I did not get this offer when I bought my lizardman army form you guys! no fair!! ...
I think we gave a choice of various options, one was the rules. I have to now look and see if my idea made it to the web site. Curtis CHipco In a message...
We had a disagreement today about the rules. I took the position that the only way to move into contact with an unengaged enemy is to charge it. To do so the...
If you have enough movement to get into contact, it happens. The unit charged does not have to be in your movement arc (not like in Warhammer where the light...

1) How about if a unit starts say in front of an enemy, close to him, but not directly in front (hence out of his ZOC.) Can he move around to take the opponent...
1) If he has movement. Remember that taking a unit in the rear if that unit is unengaged, simply results in the unit turning to face, and has no other...

... So if a knight unit wins the first round, his opponent then falls back 1 base depth & the knight follows up, then the charge bonus does not apply. The only...
I must say I would like a bit more clarification here as well. I did reread this section, and am felling better but I think if you have a few sample lists this...
Only on the first round, even in your example. Glad you had fun! Curtis In a message dated 7/27/2009 12:43:50 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, ... So if a knight...
One glitch a player noted is the Morale Clock & army lists. Because of the way the Morale Clock works one doesn't want to lose any combats or suffer any...
Thanks for the suggestion, but I do not consider it a fix, nor will I implement. We do not do things exactly like DBX for a reason. While a section of mobs...

... This is true and if you look at the annex later tonight and click on fr3 suggestions, you'll note a change we recommended which fixes this issue, but was...
troops which are Undead or under the influence of a Bard singing the Song of Courage or in many other cases can remove Demoralizations at the end of the turn....
... Not sure about the bard, never played FR3, but in FR2 Undead removal comes before you count up for the morale clock (basically you need to kill undead...
In all of the various editions of the Fantasy rules that I have individual stands may change their facing by rotating at a cost of 1/2 of their movement. I was...
... Yes. ... For small rotations, we generally wheel, and perhaps wheel back. You can also rely on charges for free adjustments too (if you make contact while...
You can move forward on the 45 degree arc and not have to turn in any way. This is our abstraction for small changes in rotation. Curtis, Chipco In a message...

I do not agree with Dave's assessment, but that is okay. The moral clock is about C&C and not about troop types. It is about the loss of control the...

It does say that both units & groups can wheel. I have read these things multiple times to get all of the points. I've read too many rules over the years. John...
Hi All, I have a question about creating a General for the TCE game. The question is this to buy a General the cost is 150pts, do I have to first buy another ...
