Hi, I hope you're all doing well and greetings from Switzerland. We're getting along pretty well with Triumph! sofar (saying a sad good-bye to DBA 2.2+), thank you for the great rule set. Lately I've purchased the hard copy Battle Cards and the Supplement version1 pdf from 2023. But I'm unsure abou...

As Rod says, Portable Obstacles aren't intended to represent true fortifications, but rather things like the ditches at Dara, the spikes at Agincourt, the flooded fields at Kephisos or the Battle of the Golden Spurs in Flanders, ceramic pots dug into the ground, caltrops, that sort of thing. If you ...

Most ancient battles were fought until one side had no formed troops left. Hey Roger, I don't think this is correct. My reading is quite the opposite -- ...
