Re: Have you tried a Bronze Age / Bilical era game yet?
I think you are right about the nature of the battles. We did a DBA Biblical Armies tournament at Adepticon, pre- Triumph! It was very enjoyable, we got 16 players, and the Egyptians did not dominate as much as one might guess. Two other observations: 1- There’s no real formula for how to use chario...

Re: huts trom Astor:
Nice. Distinctive 15mm buildings can be a bit hard to find.

Re: 15mm Sumerians
Those are some great ideas for expanding the battlefield to include some additional period visuals. Thanks.

Re: Rabble in Hoplite Armies
Thanks DK. That is exactly the picture I was thinking about in the Osprey book after reading your first reply. I think the only point of disagreement is a belief on my part that people commonly use a practical 'anchoring' technique in their thinking. For gamers it is anchoring from one game system t...

Re: Rabble in Hoplite Armies
DK, You certainly are free not to agree with me. I'm just stuck in the middle of getting into this side of the hobby right when everything started changing. The changes aren't that radical either compared to other periods and rule sets, they just require a little bit of work (which is not unpleasant...

Re: Rabble and Skirmish Exceptions
Yes, thanks. Like close range bow fire, they don’t really close and then escape, they run up, deliver and escape. It is interesting that since they are doubled they are pursued, I.e. chased off. Maybe it’s easier to visualize as being pushed/pursued first, which makes them take off to a safer distan...

Re: Rabble in Hoplite Armies
Thanks Dave. I appreciate what you are saying about those troop classes being ambiguous and likely all such classification systems have that to some degree. I was trying to be specific with the Hoplites armies, so best to think of these troops as just poorly trained Javelin guys. And I can match tha...
