Hi Timurids are definitely one of the really sexy armies out there - one I have contemplated many times but never got round to buying. What would make...
Worthwhile enemies: Ottomans, Persians, Mamluks, Mongols, Seljuks, other Middle Eastern armies I missed? Did you like the Hostage Screens? Cheers Paul PS The...
... Think that probably covers it. Ottoman is nice... ... Yes, wonderful ablative armour! ... Damn, yes - those Old Glory Samurai! Trouble is that I have to...
Hi, Yes, I would assume they are only shooting because they have no charge directed against them. Refought Leuctra today as per Roberts scenario and as the...
Hi, The first one? Is that based on age or time on list? You could be Ancient Paul, Old Paul, Paul 1, First Paul or Hun Paul. Just call me Junior, anything to...
Warriors such as warband types and spearmen/axemen etc don't seem to have much of an edge over equivalently armoured and formed missile troops such as bowmen...
Hi, Usually, but not always, combat troops are equipped for h-t-h so have spears, axes, decent swords, shields, armour etc. And as always this is not true of...
Fair enough. Those poor barbarian warbands don't have much going for them do they?I think I wanna be an archer... Oh well, I have more important things to...
... Warriors such as warband types and spearmen/axemen ... If both have the sane armour, foramtion and are both shielded/unshielded there will be no difference...
... Maybe it is time to revive my old suggestion that the +4 for Knights at first contact should be broadened to cover more troops that relied on the impact of...
... Hun Paul: I like the idea, but it might mean someone has to go through the lists and nominate certain troop types from certain armies (as a general...
Here's a list of Amendments that several VB players have suggested and agreed with, and are close to becoming serious Official Amendments. Some still require...
Forgot Shieldwalls. Here's the list again... ____________________________________________________________________ Adjusted Costs: Elite +4 Vet +2 Levy -4 An...
Hi Robert, Historical matchup as the Romans under Gary invaded Galatia to be met by Jon's non elite warband and Imitation Legionaries. The Roman left had some...
Hi Did you use any of the Adjusted Costs? Was the +? for Warband used at first contact only? Out of interest, how do you find the record keeping as opposed to ...
Hi Paul, Have not used adjusted costs yet but based on the performance of Levy and Elite I think you are right. Warband do get a first contact bonus only, but...
Hi All Three battle reports and a scenario added to the website. All three battle reports are from the pen/keyboard of Paul MArsh, so well done Paul. The...
Hi Paul There's actually a good argument for Vets paying +4 and Elites +6 or even +8. They get a significant free bonus in combat/shooting and morale...
Dear All I was thinking about the various amendments currently under discussion, and my first comments are on the warband first contact impact bonus, suggested...
Hi We like to keep written record keeping to a minimum. In our last game we used the following markers: Small rock = disordered. Extra 'skulking' figure =...
... Hi The charge bonus does, I guess, fit in with what players of DBx and Armati have come to expect from warband-style units. I guess this may or maynot be ...
Hi all, Further to Robert's thoughts on warband, I am coming to the issue as player with an Early Imperial Roman army. The Romans did lose against warband ie...
... I would also look ... An idea off the top of my head - when they charge the roll an extra d6 for 'charge bonus'. If they lose the melee this is the amount...
Hi If you use the adjusted costs, a Vet Cohort goes up by at least 2-4 points vs an Avg warband. An Elt Cohort goes up 4-8 points. Depends whether you make...
Hi John I favour this kind of thing myself too. Ancient and Medieval Warfare can look ordinary visually as a game because it relies on a multitude of markers...
