From the rabid lawyer point of view, it would be safest if LotR and other non-public domain material was in a separate fan site. Like the Army Builder folks...

And the third and final set. Q13 I assume that pre-measuring (for movement, shooting, etc) is fine in Vis Bellica, is this correct? Q14a I have a formation of...
OK, here is the second batch of questions. I have decided to split these up to make them easier to discuss. Q07 Bodyguard bases – I assume that these are a...
While reading through the rules, I found that the section on morale was a little confusing (this probably says more about me than the actual rules). Therefore,...
Iain Please don't pour over the third book of army lists: you'll ruin the paper! The answers to batch one: Is there a place where the FAQ's are compiled...

Hi Rules for weather? I wouldn't want to see then as an integral part of the game, as in DBM. They would be useful for scenario games, though. There are...
Thanks again. Unfortunately, there are a few points that I just dont seem to be able to work out. So... Q05b i "All other officers and bases must follow the...
Agreed. I would like to see them as optional rules, to enhance scenario games. I have been thinking about what I would like to see (on the understanding that...
Iain 1) Officer orders Okay, so you've got a CinC and 4 Generals, each with 4 sub-generals, each with 5 leaders each with 5 bases. A total of 1 CinC, 4 ...
