No problem, "Late is the hour." I hadn't seen any posted responses so I thought I'd offer to pitch in. We ask for GMs to open up the pool of talent and interest to new GMs; most of the established GMs from past events (Rod, Spencer, Scott, Brian, Larry) interact with us directly. We just want to be...

I am praying that my new job offer comes through. It would give me a 3 day work week. I might have some time and energy to game again.

Good luck on the job offer, Mike!

...there are not many facts of Alans as a Sarmatian tribe but there is for example Marcellinus Ammianus a late Roman soldier and history writer. There is also Lucius Flavius Arrianus; as in my earlier post: Sarmatian & Alan. An Alan contigent did fight in the battle of Adrianople 378. Vandals, Alan...

... migration era and medieval Alan use the same list except the home topography,why not a single list? The figures you would use for those two armies (representing their appearance) should be completely different. The enemies list is completely different. The thematic categories is completely diff...

I just dip them. I paint figs on nails. When they are completely dry (at least 24 hours after last painted) I take them into the basement, turn the nail upside down and dunk the fig in the dip. Then I pull it out, let it drip back into the can for a few seconds, then shake the nail/fig violently int...

The Nubians can have 6-16 “Archers or Skirmishers”. Can you select a mix of these two types, or must it be all archers or all skirmishers? Mix. If it was all archers or all skirmishers it would say archers [all] or skirmishers [all] . See the second-last line of the Later Tang and Southern Five Dyn...

Any ideas on how you would represent the big guy himself? Maybe a Battle Card that lets him be a Skirmisher on one turn and an Elite Infantry the next? Nope. However he is represented, he is not 500 guys with bows or 500 to 1000 guys with training in fighting in close formation. He doesn't block re...

These Vikings were based as old WRG irregular LHI and LMI. So I suppose the Bowmen are ok, but the rest are too deep. Do you think it's a wash if I'm just using them against each other? Am I right that depth only matters for how far you recoil? If so, in your experience, often does that matter? (As...

Wow! Battle cards are going to be much more than I expected. Sounds cool. Can't wait to see the product of all your work! Thanks. One warning, though -- Battle Cards are based on history (as best we understand it) -- so some armies have more of them; some have fewer. There are point costs for battl...

So no inside info on the Vikings? Didn't see your note. The Raiders period (790-849 AD) doesn't have much -- Pack Trains and Herds is their only battle card. The formed army period (850-1280 AD) has more: Pack Trains and Herds Prepared Defenses (0-9 base widths modeled as palisades) Mobile Infantry...
