Re: New Battle Card - Inferior

Have I missed something? Are all the Fantasy cards suddenly usable in regular Triumph?

I hope not.

Re: Persian colonists and chalybes

There is mention of "Cabelees" in Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars (WRG, 1975) by Richard Nelson. I think that's probably "...Greek and Persian Wars." MAC/PUN is Duncan Head, 1982. They are said to "look like Cilicians" and depicted like this: https://i.postimg.cc/FFTn2Kwv/Cabalee.jpg Minifi...

Persian colonists and chalybes

I'm working to Triumph-ize and fill out my Later Achaemenid Persians, and I had a few troop types I'm not sure best how to represent, so thought I'd come here and seek others' input. Colonist horsemen (Bad Horse): Anything visually distinctive about these guys? Or will they just be slightly larger c...

later Achaemenid Persian archers

I'm working to Triumph-ize and fill out my Later Achaemenid Persians, and while looking for something else, I noted in Duncan Head's (?venerable?) Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars that he says "...now [at the time of the Macedonian wars] the bulk of the Persian infantry was now skirmishing ar...

We've fought it down from 90 a month ago. But it's fun to read the suggestions. Probably just as well. I hate to be ...

Re: a couple of column questions

Thanks for the clarifications, David!

And, yes, those snow apes let you down badly, both games. But keep taking them--they may yeti serve you well!

a couple of column questions

Last night DK very patiently helped my brain start returning to Triumph!-normal after a long time away*. He reminded me about one or two specifically Fantasy Triumph rules, as well as that march moves must not pass or end within 8 MU of enemy troops (as well as not start likewise, natch). But two co...

Re: Metro DC Regular Gaming Night

Just to re-thread-necromancy this topic.

There's a semi-regular Triumph! night taking place at Dream Wizards in Rockville, MD, on Wednesday nights. And a FaceBook group for it @ DC Triumph! Players.
