Battle on the Ice

I added this file from the FB page here.

I have had a lot of inquiries about converting old DBA and WRG armies into Triumph so I made a little PDF I hope will help.

This will be a great time, for those of you that have not tried Chariot warfare in Triumph you are in for a pleasant surprise.

Paul did some Koreans for me too

Those are the relevant rules and the intent in you situation is that the rear support would apply to the front combat. I realize flank combat in Triumph is quite different from DBA and other DBM style games which could confuse people familiar with the other systems. There is no appedix diagram repre...

The skirmisher attack has to be done first and only if it wins does it str...
