Re: Rabble in Hoplite Armies

I never buy premade armies -- and until manufacturers make up premade Triumph armies, I won't start. I certainly wouldn't buy premade armies for other systems (DBA 2, DBA 3, or whatever). I've just been looking over an old DBA 2.0-ish premade Essex army I won as a prize a decade ago (Middle Assyria...

Re: Bronze Age European Barbarians Proposed New Range

This isn't an expression of interest to purchase; I wish you the very best of luck with this potential project, but I am sure that you would want to be aware of any competition. I already have Bronze Age Northern Europe Barbarian figures in 28mm and 15mm figures sizes. The 28mm ones are Foundry, and...

Re: Making Hills

Yes, that is why I am not 100% happy with the use of 15mm deep bases, although I have been using them for my converted armies where appropriate. My old hills (which are nowhere near as nice as yours) have that problem. I have seen flat "hills" that work, but they seem wrong to me. I have seen resin ...

Re: Rohirrim in Triumph!

Thank you David. Next time I do a Donnington Miniatures order I will get some suitable knights to replace the Horse Bow unit I used for the Bulgarians. At the moment, I have one Horse Bow unit with 10 Knight units. My gut feeling is to go for another unit of Knights. I was interested to hear about y...

Rohirrim in Triumph!

Just as a matter of interest, do people see the mounted component of the army of Rohan as being mainly Elite Cavalry, or a mixture of Knights and Horse Bow? I ask because I have used one of the Horse Bow elements of my legacy rules Rohan army to bring my Later Bulgar army up to 48 points. (I reduced...

Thank you very much for your reply, Rod. I will let my opponent know the reasons why.

Chariots beating Skirmishers, not by double

Hello there, I hope that those who went to Historicon had a really good time. I hope that I am not causing bother by asking this question. What happens when Chariots (as used by the Hittite Empire) beat Skirmishers (as fielded by Minoan/Early Mycenaean armies) in open terrain, but do not double them...

Re: Triumph v1.0 Official Release

Downloaded it. Thanks. Thank you as well for the Meshwesh update. I am busily converting my armies to Triumph! and want to avoid mistakes if reasonably convenient. I will have to have a practice solo game in the next few days, as I am taking a couple of armies to Vidin to introduce a wargaming frien...

Re: Early Warring States Chinese

I have decided to go for the Early Warring States. One of my armies is Yueh, which means that although they did linger into the time of the main Warring States army list, they didn't have a huge time before the state of Yueh got eliminated. Also, I worked out that there would be a bit less new metal...

Re: Early Warring States Chinese

Thanks David. I will look forward to seeing it. I hope to order more figures for my Warring States armies soon. The armies that I have (Essex DBA army packs) are a bit problematic - for instance, very long spears and no shields which would indicate the Early Warring States, but a high proportion of ...
