Re: Battle cards for Grand Triumph

Some battle cards in Triumph are available at zero cost for the first card. Do armies qualify for 3 zero cost cards for a triple army of 144 points? Mostly that is "per command", Spencer. So if you have a triple Marian Roman army you might get one "Hold the Line" per command for free. Which is 3 of...

Re: What is the measure of a Man? (on a horse)

When converting historical battles to Triumph, I have been making the assumption that a unit of infantry represents twice as many men as a unit of cavalry. My logic is the a man on a horse takes up more space than a man on foot, and that is reasonable to count a cavalryman as 2 creatures. However T...

Out of curiosity, how will the terrain be determined for each battle? Preset battlefields?
Maneuver ratings and terrain cards, as per the GT rules.

Re: Help with lake trasimene refight

For a historical scenario (as opposed to a tournament game) you may want increase the number of points required to break a command from 16 to 24. 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 -- ...

Yup. Knights are stupid.

Re: Ambush Card Questoin

The Card says: " • The stand must be placed more than 2 MU from any enemy stand" So if a stand is placed in ambush and there is no enemy within 2 MU, but could be during deployment. Later, during the initial setup, an enemy unit deploys within 2 MU. Is this all legal? Sure. You can't block the enem...
