Re: Can units of different depths side-by-side form a group?

At least one corner, and at least part of one side (front, left, right, rear), and all facing the same way. So yes, different depths have no problem forming a group when in side (left or right) contact; they just need to be piece-wise aligned on their front corners or back corners.

Re: Undefeated!

It was great playing you, Frank. And thanks for the kind words about Triumph! -- it's always nice to hear that our efforts to make the game the best possible are appreciated. It was also good to see that Chris (owner of Huzzah Hobbies) has expanded, with a much bigger gaming area. I talked with him ...

Re: Anatolian Turkoman

There appears to be an error with the Anatolian Turkoman list. It suggests that different manouvre ratings are available depending on whether there are any foot stands or not. But, there is no way of writing a 48 point list without at least on foot stand. You are only permitted 1 Elite Cavalry and ...

Do them in 28mm -- I still need like 14 stands of Rohan Knights for Pelennor Field at Fall In.

Re: Raiders. Why?

Byzantine Menlavtoi (sp?) Menavlatoi (or Menaulatoi, depending on how you like to transliterate αυ in Byzantine Greek). A troop type I might have thought a good fit for Raiders is almughavars, but turns out they're Light Spears instead (at least in the Catalan Company list). I'm of the impression t...

Re: Maccabean Enemies?

Those are the only ones that I know of. Out of curiosity, you have mentioned several times the need to update the data shown on Meshwesh. Is that a really complex process? I would think that it would be a simple command line to push the data out, but I have no idea how it was built. Not asking for ...

Re: Destroyed if beaten by flanking?

DK had it right. I was asking about the front element being unable to turn leading to its destruction. Another point I'd like to make, although it is a bit of a view into the sausage-making, has to do with how to implement "turn to face" in these rules. Implementing rules that require turning befor...

Re: Destroyed if beaten by flanking?

I believe this discussion refers to a supported unit losing a combat to its flank must turn to face but cannot due to space limitations. Right. If you hit the front unit of a column in the flank, and it loses the combat, it must turn to face before falling back. The way we have that written, it can...

Re: Destroyed if beaten by flanking?

As will a supported Pike, or a column of two (anything at all), even if not supplying support.

Completely intended. With all the above, protect your flanks. Historically, getting hit in the flank was a very very bad thing.

Re: Maccabean Enemies?

Thanks for the input.

This is one of the fixes that's waiting for us to upload the pre-Historicon Meshwesh data. Enemies for Maccabees in the current (in my hands, not online yet) version include several flavors of Seleucids and Arabo-Aramaean (Nabataean)s. Are we missing anything?
