Table Size: Combined length of two separate tables was approximatley 15.5 feet. Depth varied between 3.75 and 2.5 feet. (The smaller 5-foot-long table was in another room.) Terrain: Something of a resemblance to the field of Raphia (217 BC), at least as described on page 157 of Lost Battles - Recon...

Cheers Philip, Thanks for the compliment and for taking the time. The format of my AARs has changed over the years, as I borrow ideas from others while attempting to rein in my tendency to be overly verbose. Quite so . . . In that regard, a kind of repeat of history. Still, it was unusual to see so ...

Fellow TRIUMPH! enthusiasts and gentlemen - An excerpt from a recent blog post has been copied and pasted here for your perusal. At the risk of repeating myself for the third or fourth time, the TRIUMPH! rules, like most of the previous sets, do not specifically cater to or cover the depiction of Ro...

Cheers, Roger - Thanks for weighing in again. Your approach or solution seems simple enough. I wonder, though, if you and your fellow player-generals will make an attempt at something similar so as to test the sturdiness of these suggestions? At the risk of poking the pedantic bear, I was somewhat s...

Thanks gents, for the additional time and attention paid to a potentially interesting tabletop scenario or scenarios. I have had the pleasure of refighting Granicus and Issus, albeit with different rules. These were worthwhile scenarios, in my limited opinion. I have not made an attempt as Asculum, ...

Cheers, Roger C. - Thanks for taking the time to read and for the additional investment of researching Wiki for information. What about engagements like Stirling Bridge and or Stamford Bridge? Finding something pre-1000 CE is much more of a challenge, admittedly. So, at the risk of making a mistake,...

Battling for a bridge . . . through the centuries, if not millennia. 1st - Hittites vs Sea Peoples 2nd - Gauls vs Samnites 3rd - Mongols vs Teutonic Order Rules used: GRAND TRIUMPH! (along with latest updates and or amendments) Scale: Employed the bases/stands that were 40mm across, so better for 15...

Rod - Thanks for the clarification. It appears that I conflated the 'out of command' additional cost with the additional pip for being demoralized. Appreciated.

David - No worries. Not more pedantic than usual; just the right amount.

A couple of things . . . During a recent scenario involving Hittites and Sea Peoples, the following interaction occurred: A unit of H light foot engaged a unit of SP raiders frontally. This attack was supported by a unit of H chariots, which just fit into the space, as a unit of SP elite foot was 40...
