If a Giant unit is armed with ranged weapons (Bows/Crossbows), should they get a range bonus for a larger weapon or should they be treated as artillery? I want...
Hi Brian, ... In this case we normally treat it like the regular weapon. The weapons is heavier but there much less of them. In my thinking the effect should ...
How do Mixed Arms work in this game? I understand, that you use the most lethal weapon in the contact round of the melee and according to the rules you use...
Hi David, Probably a mistake in the rules. I believe Robert mentioned that he used the WRG army lists as one of the sources for the VB army lists. The WRG ...
I think about collecting a Hittite Army, and now I searched the net for nice miniatures. Unfortunately you don't find alot of pictures ( I have seen only Essex...
... Hi Dick, thanks for yor fast answer But how about units with half Bow Units and halfe Melee Units ? Shouldnt these units be weaker in Melee than full...
Hi David, ... They are still full strength units. Any men in the rules is armed with a basic melee weapon. You just don't get a weapon bonus for these figures ...
So how are we going to treat Camillan Romans then ? Since scale wise it is the best solution to treat one base as being the 3 rank formation believed to be...

... I would agree with this for my (admittedly slightly later)Polybian Romans I have a legion represented by 3 bases of velites, 4 bases of hastati/princeps...
I've recently branched out into ECW but have given up on all the available rule sets for the period. As I'm used to VB from Ancients I wonder if anyone has...
Have you had a look at Principles of War rules for Rennaisance, very good set and very playable. Bunny ... From: wen_dun2000 <khalloran4674806@...> To:...
Hi The Huntingdon lot were messing around with a pike and shot version - honking great bases with tercios on and the like. John ... The all-new Yahoo! Mail...
Cheers, John. I haven't got much further than last we spoke. Two big armies sat on the table waiting for a rules set. I'll see if the Huntingdon group ...
I have POW but we've found that with the relatively large scale scenarios we play the alternative movement (bounds) results in a lot of hanging around. I...
... We never got round to trying ECW with VB. I would think it should work ok as the weapons available are fairly simple - the key thing is to get the correct...
Having finished my ECW armies in 15mm I now fancy expanding my ancients. Currently I have Roman and Carthaginian armies of the 2nd PW. I would like to build up...

I can't help with the SYW but army lists for the ECW are available with a number of rule sets. Principles of War gives lists for Early Royalist 1642-3, Late...
Thanks to all, I think that is possible to modificate Vis Bellica, to be suitable for these periods. I want a rules that is suitable for various periods I...
With Principles of War, although they are seperate rules the rules system is the same from Ancients to Russian Civil War. Very good in my eyes. Bunny ... ...
