I have no written references, just some internet images. In these images Sumerian helmets appear to be leather because of the slightly reddish tint the artist created. However; most people that I have seen paint there ancients give them bronze helmets. The images I have could be bronze but they just...

I searched Black Hat, Donnington, Magister Militum and Khurasan. All were the usual array of peasants with improvised weapons EXCEPT for Khurasan in their Crusade Range. The issue is there is only one rock thrower pose and the packs are random. He is a cooperative guy so you might swing a deal just ...

So I will wait for the Warband/Warrior updates.

And I will wait for my first Triumph! game at HCon! Excited.

I understand the "gotcha" card reluctance but, after all, an ambush should be a surprise! :D Surprise happens all the time in history, but at the moment we're limiting "unexpected doom" concepts to special rules for scenarios rather than a main part of the game system.

Triumph! will be a great game no matter which direction you guys take it. I am just throwing out some ideas after pushing some stands around. You never know what gems may come out of the mouths of babes.

I understand there is no memory in the game and that causes some design roadblocks, however; DK did explain elsewhere that the battle turn was to represent a series of "charges", reforms and the like. If Warband and like types are the issue, I would prefer to elevate the system in lieu of a card "fi...

A few posts back DK asked for historical reference to foot ambushes. Toying around again, I had little incentive to bring my light foot out of difficult terrain to engage their heavier counterparts. So they hole up many times. I was thinking of a one use Ambush card usable by Light Foot, Light Spear...

This is similar to my Inspiring Commander card except yours limits troop types and mine should be limited to certain armies. Either way, this is a powerful card and should be costed accordingly. I would hesitate to adjust base CF solely due to the introduction of this card. As DS stated, we don't wa...
