Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Yes, Chris - thanks for the memory...

It is one of the all time great games though, which is why we both remember it
so clearly. That and the fact that in your excitement at the success of your
counterattack you spilled your coffee.... I still have the one, but don't use it
- kinda like a blue dress.

You won 4-3, as that was in the days of the old scoring system.

I feel a rematch coming on...

You can still use the Chris WWI method with the new demorializatin rule. You
just need to be very careful about how you go about setting up your commands.

To add insult to injury, I won that game. That was the game that
taught me to NEVER give up. Jon was playing Han, I was playing Teutonic
Knights. On the first bound (might have been second, this was 12 years
ago...) Jon's light cav charged mine. All six of my LC units either evaded
short or Jon's charged long routing both wings of my army.
With visions of Dien Bien Phu and Custer's Last Stand in my head, I
passsed my personal morale check and I distictly recall thinking "I've
lost this battle, better get as many points as I can." and I attacked with
everything that I had left. Jon's LC pursued mine into the rear zone of my
side of the table, slaughtering them to a man. At that point, his LC were
too far away from my units to make a legal approach and all his generals
were fighting a desperate battle against my suicidally attacking forces
and could not get prompts to them ordering them to march back to the
fight. (Shades of Grouchy!) When the dust cleared, I had pulled out at
least a winning draw and possibly a clear victory, I do not recall.

One wonders if you could have pulled this off with the new 50% rule for
demoralization...

What works for you?

Bigger commands or more commands?

Stuck out here on the edges of the empire, I don't get a chance to play much
with new warrior but I'll be looking at D morale LI with a more skeptical
eye....

Well, the way that I normally run my list I still would have 8 of 14
units left after losing the LC...
