I've played a few different games based on square or hex grids and had a lot of fun. Having said that, I don't think Triumph! will work well that way. A lot of depth is added to the game by the variations in unit movement rates. These variations are baked into a lot of the game's mechanics and contr...

Take some Archers and base them dispersed and fewer-of, and you've got Skirmishers. Hah! Painfully obvious! It shows my current bias against adding bases to existing armies. I'm in the middle of converting a couple armies from "a game I used to play" and need to add some stands. I HATE trying to ma...

I am starting to think Bad Horse that can dismount to Skirmishers? That was actually my first thought 👍🏻, but I don't remember the Warmaster 10mm line having skirmishers, so I was trying to avoid that option. I suggested downgraded elite cavalry to give them some extra resilience (in lieu of dismou...

Thanks! .... Not sure with the light cavalry as they also have bows strung to their back... ...might also be rated as Horse Bow, but not decided yet. Guess JavCav is fitting better.... Canonically they are huntsmen. They are supposed to serve a scouting/ harassing function for the Bretonnian army. ...

I do not really get the point of the discussion.... The OP played in an open tournament where his army was at a huge disadvantage without terrain (loaner army so not really his fault...). He wondered if game play would be improved if there was a way to have more terrain in those circumstances. I've...

Medieval Hindu Kingdoms requires an elephant general, but also allows the elephant screen battle card...

(It's amazing what you stumble across when looking at potential enemies for armies you're rebasing )

I faced 3 late medieval armies and did not have any battle cards. I also had some bad die-rolling. Without the battle cards, those are rough match-ups. Prepared Defenses and Mobile Infantry really help out against that type of army. Of course, if the dice were rooting for your opponents, it probabl...

Ah, perfect. Thanks for the clarification and sorry for all the confusion.

Hmm... strange...

Yes, I meant the optional contingent. I should have realized that using "allied", as in "Allied Thessalian Cavalry", would lead to confusion. I meant to ask if Athens is allowed to take their own Thessalian horsemen as well as the optional contingent of Thessalian horsemen (allowing them up to 4 ele...
