I do not use any mods to recreate the Battle of Marathon for example.

I saw the photograph of the setup.
Were you able to film the battle? Would be fascinating.

Sadly not had time, I was hoping to put it on at a convention soon.

Hattin, the Archers are exhausted and out of arrows, so no ranged fire and they cost 3, but in close combat have the same stats. These are not officia...

The PIP system is highly underrated in my opinion. It is an extremely elegant mechanism for creating an ebb and flow on a miniature battlefield or in some aspects the illusion of simultaneous movement.

That didn’t take long

And yes Khazar with open terrain is a dream come true. Try some war wagons and artillery against him see how he likes that.

A compact or doubled line can be very effective, especially with open order troops. Knights when charging have a tendency to break through an initial line in localized places, but if there is a second line they often find themselves double overlapped. No second line, they can break through and creat...
