Can anyone who is actually trying to use the game chime in? Seems odd that of the ten people on board, there have been only a handful of questions... Greg BTRC...
Sorry Greg, it's basically been a matter of time. I just began a new position as a para-professional at a local high school and it's pretty well sapped my...
Howdy, Sorry about that. I didn't realize that there was a demo file AND a playtest. I kept going over that demo file and was going to ask just what rules you...
Howdy, Here are my comments, questions, and wants (in no particular order) For card appearances, It'd be cool to have some graphical alternates to FPS. FPS is...

After four passes thru, here's what I've got. Section 1.0 last sentence Since "face down" no longer has a meaning, this needs to be redacted, *OR* a sentence...
... I'll address these and try to get a revised version of the rules available. FYI: 1) You can only retreat laterally or away from an attacker. If being ...
Are hits taken at the END of combat or can an attacking unit that will be destroyed by attacking still apply ALL of its attack icons ? Example: MRLS arty that...
Hits are taken in combat on an incremental basis. The attacker stops attacking when they're dead or run out of icons. So, if you had 5 attack icons (say RSSSS)...
I'm flapping out this weekend for an early holiday (back before xmas), so don't expect any answers to questions for a week or so. Now get out there and inflict...
I don't see a good RPS relationship in the age of sail. The dominant weapons were all muzzle loading black powder cannons. The dominant formation was line of...
... You might be right. If there is only one weapon and one defense (cannons and wood), then the game gets a little boring. How advanced (or primitive) does a...
The updated rules based on various comments are at: www.btrc.net/pub/iarules06.pdf It's about 500k (it's just the rules). If I missed something, I'm sure ...
I'm having trouble with the rule that a unit can't have any symbol on defense that it doesn't have on offence. I think it should perhaps be the other way...

Does a unit making a long range attack also lose dug-in status as if it made a conventional attack ? Why ? Units that cannot move (no movement icons) can...
Been playing IA for a bit, and while I like it, the depth of strategy and play time is closer to chess than Magic the Gathering. And so, in discussion with...
John, Do you have any idea how over-engineered most consumer items are, or how much extra strength is built into steel-reinforced buildings? 200%? 400% More? I...
Hey all: Based on experiences playtesting at SheVaCon over the past weekend, some changes have been made to the game. These are tweaks of some of the special ...
I'd like the welcome the two recently joined members and also announce there will be an updated version of the rules in a week or so. Playtesting has shown...
Some people have been having problems printing their cards. I've been trying to track down the solution. Part of it may be memory allocation of color space...
The Holy Grail is within sight. I have found a way to export card data from within the free Acrobat Reader, so that you can save your army decks and import...
In a program update, the workaround has proven fairly robust in testing. I've been afraid it would slip a character here and there and mess everything up, but...
A prototype of the army builder with the ability to export data is now available from the link at the iarmies Yahoo group web page, which is I think: ...
