Yes indeed: our Shirley (Manager) fought off plans to close her down with the efficiency of a Macedonian phalanx! Just been again today: orders to the US...
I find myself interested in to many periods! I've never played ancients before, but i think i'm slightly more fascinated by the medieval period. I definitely...
... I am currently building up a number of 6mm armies using both Baccus and H&R figures (and just a few Irregulars for the odd occasion neither of the other...
... That just makes you a typical wargamer! ;-) i think i'm slightly more ... VB is great for medieval games - I use it for Wars of the Roses and other late...
... Yes, I guess so! My foot in my Irregular 6mm fantasy armies are based 4 deep, thinking about it. Mounted 2 deep. I'm going to have to get them out and...
Hi On this subject, I have got a few house rules for officer casualties. The first 2 are because I like officers to be more at risk in certain situations. The...
John I like (1) and (2), but not (3). There is always an element of risk on or near a battlefield, and I think the idea that an officer can still get killed...
... 1 and 2 are tried and tested, 3 is not yet. Regarding 3, there was someone in one of the Discworld books who was killed when his horse was frightened by a...
Hi John, Officer casualties, don't talk to me about officer casualties. I have generals who die of stubbed toes 3 miles from the front line. Against my better...
... Against my better ... I think it makes good sense. and unfortunately have to agree ... Yes it is probably a bad idea. We already use 2 ourselves when a ......
Hi While we are talking about house rules, here is another one I have used in a couple of recent games. It might be coincidence but my main collections (Wars ...
Mike There's every hope! I've been away this week, but hope to catch up with the proof readers on Monday. Once they give me the go ahead, then it's off to the...
Hi As VM is getting close to release, I was wondering if Robert would answer a question or 2? Do you cover flying troops? Can you give hints about how this...
Should be: the proof readers have corrected up to page 40 (half way), so I'm expecting the proofing process to be finished by this weekend. Off to the...
Yes to both! 1) Flying bases have big movement and missile weapon range advantages (it's easier for them to shoot, more difficult for them to be shot), and...
... Yes... ... Ooh, whose been watching Return of the King, then? ... I was sure you would go with something nice and simple, but you never know. ... Jolly...
Hi all. Turning back to VB (I have the attentioin span of a fruit fly!), and I thought that I would put together something in the style of Qadesh (because I am...
Iain, I am almost positive that Qadesh took place during the eraly part of the New Kingdom era. Chariots were unknown till Egypt fell to the Hyksos. John O...
The Battle of Qadesh took place in 1279BC or 1286BC or 1292BC or thereabouts depending on which chronology you use. The New Kingdom Pharaoh Ramses II was...
Thank you both for your messages, and any information about this period is gratefully received. Now, I am certainly no expert on history, but my wandering lead...
In a message dated 13/06/2004 08:45:55 GMT Standard Time, ... The Battle of Qadesh is indeed in the New Kingdom period and Egyptian chariots are most...

... We often end up with post-game discussions along these lines, where a losing player will argue that they actually won! Makes for some very humourous...
Hi, Quick query: when a unit is pushed back through losing a melee into one of its mates and the winner of the melee follows up, the two units on the losing...
Hi Mike, how yer doin'? In the case you mention, the next round of melee would involve both bases on the originally losing side. Simple as that. Let me...
... Hi I don't think I have had this happen in a game yet, but as the subject has come up, I have a question. Do the units that get 'sucked in' get their...
