... I have been looking and can't find one - you fight as the second rank after the first round of melee, but the weapon mods only count in the first round...
Paul, John Remember that bases that only have a proportion of an advantageous weapon only get a proportion of the bonus for using that weapon. eg I have a...
Aha! Good. That makes more sense. Oh, I'll be working on a Medieval German list soon, with a final ammendment to the Wallachian one in light of some excellent...
Paul This is my initial Later Holy Roman Empire army list for the 14-15th AD. Is this what you meant by Medieaval German? Base Type Ord Exp Wgt Str Weapons...
... Paul, John ... Ah, now this changes things a bit from how I had originally interpreted them. But it is less of an issue now, anyway. I have been reading...
Robert I must admit the one I'm working on in my head will look quite a bit different. Mine will probably be divided into 3 periods: early to 1450, mid to...
... Can you promise that it will be easier to use than the DBM one? The number of hours I spent on that trying to get a sensible, legal army... ... I think I...
John We'll both get excited! As for promises, promises... Hmm, let's see...yeah, it'll rock. Paul (the guy who will go down as making Medieval Germans ok to...
... I don't know - you might go down in wargames history... John ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat...
Hello, I am new to Vis Bellica. Looking at doing some fighting with Vikings using DBA as some guidance for enemies, etc., likely 15mm scale, possibly 25-28mm...
Hi Welcome to the VB discussion group. You'll find a VB army list for Vikings on the main VB site (www.visbellica.com) and in Book 2 of the Army Lists...which...
Hi guys Just letting you know my computer has got some stupid virus or something, so I may be unable to post for a few days. Robert, I have completed the Late...
Robert & John (and others) The computer may be fixed. Have to wait to be sure. In the meantime, thought I'd get this part of the German list posted for you to ...
... Thank god. You know he's polluted the WAB board too!? Should have my rules next week. Will have several Marian Roman vs Pontic/Mithridatic games when they...
Nah There's too many other armies to collect! Wallachian first for VB, then plenty of others to follow. I'll possibly get accused of floodings and fixations...
By the way, my posts on the WAB list were with Dan Minculescu, a Romanian, who has been of immeasurable assistance in researching Wallachian and Moldavian...
... I think Knight reflects a certain attitude, as well as armour, so I think in general the Knight class covers guys on unarmoured horses - afterall only a...
I tend to agree. Though I've had to call Late Mvl German light lancers (men in 3/4 plate on unarmoured horses) HC with LA, even though they operated from...
Hi To take this a stage further, in scenario games I would probably be tempted to call troops like Normans HC Knights, ie treat them as HC but give them the ...
Likewise I'd recommend the same for the Light Lancer Germans (and similar). An additional cost for the base would be appropriate, say +2 or even +4? Robert? ...
