Greetings from Italy by a new wanna-be-player of Vis Bellica. I have just a silly question to let me know from this community : What are the standard width and...
not hugely read on ancients guys-napoleonics my area.But wasnt it the tactic that lt inf got close to elephants to hamstring them n render them useless.thats...
Nicola Greetings, and welcome to the group. In 15mm, I generally play on a table about 90cms wide (ie between the players) and about 120 cms across. That...
Hello there fellow Vis Bellica players and enthusiasts, I am presently in the middle of a solo wargame utilizine these rules. The action pits Normans v....
Chris That's a post-and-a-half or what! Right, let's work our way through them: Situation 1 (routing LI and interpenetration) The routed base can only roll to...
Would it be a good addition to the rules if Warbands received a bonus of some kind on impact? I suggest this to differentiate them from other OO MI, as I...
Hi I think the easiest way to do this would be to make the 'Knights charging' bonus more general - 'loonies charging' might be a better description :-) Then...
... The question was based on a few posts about the actual mechanics of more than one base charging into combat with others. e.g. what factors are used when...
Yes, I agree with that idea. Nice and simple - Knights and Nutters! Sounds like a great title for a game!!! Would an extra charge bonus make Vet or Elite...
Well, seeing as the rest of my Hun army is taking an eternity to arrive from Spain... I thought I might wheel out some Later Poles in the meantime... Nasty...
... Title for a VB scenario book, perhaps? ... Don't know - I haven't tried this match up yet - though my Romans and Dacians crawl towards completion... John ...
... Heavy on the knights? Nah. As my fiancee says, it's an army with one clear purpose: "WHACK 'EM!!!" If I could have had more (it's the list I designed after...
I guess what we have to decide is: did warbands really behave that much differently from other non-regular troops? And does the morale adjustment (Vet & Elt)...
I am very resistant to adding lots of little rules to cover every conceivable circumstance. If a basic system can't cope, then there's something wrong with the...
Should we have an amendment for warbands? No. It would be a bloody awful idea. To put it bluntly: I don't believe in warbands. I don't accept the myth of the...
Fair enough. That's kind of what I was wondering myself - if the current morale grades were already enough to simulate their effectiveness. Makes sense to me....
... (history lesson cropped) ... Gee thanks Mike. I must have forgotten that. Perhaps you'd like to read my last statement on rules for warbands again - in it...
After all my postings about Elephants and Light Inf, I'm going to a complete u-turn on this one and agree that extra rules for warbands are not needed In other...

I like Essex a lot (and have over 1000 of them), but they are a bit expensive compared to some other lines. The Old Glory 15s that I've seen are pretty good...
Just finished reading it last night. Excellent stuff, John. I particularly liked the Cynoscephalae fought using several different rules set so you could...
