Thanks for the reply and for taking the time, TM. Appreciate the compliment. Yes, learning how to use Horse Bow correctly as well as 'get in the mindset or accept the philosophy of the rule designers' does take time and practice. Nothing Parthian-related on the table or agenda at the moment or fores...

Gentlemen, Following, please find an excerpt from a recent “study” on Bibracte. TRIUMPH! > Looking over the respective army lists available for free at http://meshwesh.wgcwar.com, refighting Bibracte with this set of rules will be a simple and straightforward contest between Warriors and Elite Foot....

Cheers Phil - Treatise?! Egad . . . Thanks for taking the time to read this particular post. (Shameless self-promotion: you might take a few more minutes and see if any other topic on the blog sparks your interest.) It's rather nice to see that the post can get a response (and reply!) just before hi...

Anyway, as a result of my "adventure" posted on 22 January with Seleucids vs Indians, I have cobbled together some thoughts about Classical Indian archery....

Admirable, standard setting, and even spectacular . . .

Jolly good stuff!

Two responses to a battle report?! Goodness, I feel faint . . . ;) Rather unexpectedly, this most recent TRIUMPH! scenario has led me to take a look at Indian archery. I am certainly no expert, but the initial "research" and effort has provided a distraction from more serious and often depressing ma...

Greetings Texus Maximus, Thanks for taking the time to read and remark. I confess I was starting to worry about the status of this forum . . . The traffic has been rather slow of late. I understand that there have been rumors or consideration of moving the site to another database/platform or simila...
