Forum: Rules Posted: Thu Dec 19, 2024 3:44 pm Subject: Starting the game in skirmish formation |

I would vote for BillCon over Gettysburg.
Also want to put in a plug for 1800 pts over 2000. The lists these days have less required minimums than the old 3 books making a lower total generally eas ... |

I don't think Case 2 flank charges are really a big problem. The charger has to fully fit in, which is much harder than for case 1. Over time, list rules have tended to increase the power of foot (Rom ... |

I was fortunate against the Khmer for sure, 16 elephants is no kind of favorable matchup for a knight army. I actually had some decent shooting, but Khmer are very resistant to that.

To "Red Team" this a bit, I try to make the less flexible IrrD MC and LC units my target. If you charge the LC, they pretty much have to evade and that then clears a wide stretch of frontage ... |

I think the idea of a seperate Warrior spring event is a good one. I might suggest something closer to the NYC/New England area based on proximity to people and airports. With the convention and usua ... |
