OK, Latest offering at the Huntingdon club tomorrow night is the Trojan War with Jason as Agamemnon and Chris as Priam. Low level Vis Magica with a few added...
Here are 2 options I've worked on to possibly better simulate and represent the interaction between Mounted Samurai and their Retainers. Option 1: A Mounted...
Is it even necessary to include it. A base of cavalry represents about 400 men(from memory). I have no trouble with it representing 200 mounted men and 300...
You would still treat the base as HC unchanged then, having the Retainers there purely for visual (and historical) representation...? So the base moves and...
Hi Paul, ... Probably. For fighting amongst themselves it would make no difference anyway because everybody is using this same model for cavalry. As long as...
... knight ( ... fire? ... make a ... With respect, this is not the case at all. Any horsemen worth his salt controls his horse with his knees not the flipping...
... I agree but I would argue that even so the shield is a much more passive item than it is for a footman ... heavy and lighter cavalry often carry large...
Perhaps then I'll just do as you say and treat the Mtd Samurai base as it was, but stick Retainers on the base with them for visual effect - and also to...
Ive got a question about the Vis Magica rules. 1 If you are disordered you dont get first contact bonuses like pi,po,hw,hs,la,2h,ls and knights or giants. Dw...
Hi Here is my first hit at an OOB for this battle. Comments and suggestions welcome. Romans Starting 4 Legions - 4xHI each 2 Legions - 4xHI, 1xLI each Cavalry...
Greetings I am just finding all my 10mm Pendraken scattered round the house and garage to start painting over Xmas. Just to clarify the representation - I have...
... Good stuff! ... My feeling is that when the knights dismount they will be bulked out by other lesser troops, eg when English fight on foot their base would...
John Thanks. I'd wondered about changing the movement - a test on paper indicated that even an OO EHI base (eg French dismounted knights at Agincourt, Verneuil...
Can anyone help? I am currently re-basing my DBM armies to Vis Bellica but have come across the following issues: 1. I have just recieved the lists and have...
I recommend putting together an amended list and presenting it to Robert. The VB site has a number of partially or fully amended lists. If you know your stuff,...
The Nervii were the main force at Sambre. Wasn't this more than 40%? If so, I would make all Nervii Elite, not just some of them. Not sure what your 4 out of...
Doesn't a force where the majority are elite make the term look a bit stupid. I think that Elite should be reserved for the cream of an army and that levy...
How are you running your Gaesati? As less than Elite? The term reflects their belief in their invulnerability and extreme bravery and ferocity, most of which...
Yup: I second that. My knowledge of an Arthurian army comes from a combination of "The Once and Future King" and Keira Knightly's leather harness! R ... ...
Thanks for the reply. I agree with what you've written as it is the best course of action. However in my opinion army lists serve 2 purposes: 1. to guide a...

... I have to say I've never been convinced that EHI should be as slow as they are after all, all the later period re-enactors I've met could keep up with me...
The EHI move is bogus and has been since it was published. A poll was run with a list of alternate distances. It's probably still in the Polls section. If...
Troy Revisited An interesting bash last Thursday night with the arrival of Agamemnon's Greeks intent on the recovery of the fair Helen and the Trojans...
... Probably, but I wanted to err on the low side and let others persuade me that more were needed! :-) 50% might be better allowing a first wave of elites ...
This might help... http://membres.lycos.fr/daw/Scenario_ideas/Sambre_57BC/hauptteil_sambr e_57bc.html Seems your 40% wasn't so far off...! All Nervii could be...
Great battle report! Anyone mind if I also post it on TMP? R PS I think I might add the "Challenge" rules as Optional on the websites of both VB and VM! ... ...
Hi Stefan I think on reflection the archers probably should be OO not CO. This isn't a typo in the original: I think I was trying to make the army have one...
