Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Chris Bump]

Jon/ Scott,

This is a fabulous idea. It involves minimum changing of rules, changes play
virtually none, and eliminates that aspect of flank marches that all who were
arguing for fog of war rolls for hated about anouncing arrival prior to
arrival with die rolls.

Sometimes simplicity really does solve the problems best. I hope that you
will consider this approach.

Subject: [WarriorRules] Flank March Thought #2
OK.....So after I read what I wrote I realized I was not very clear.
What I meant to say is that we should eliminate a special roll just
for flank marches and simply say that if you get a 5 or 6 on your
initiative roll your flank march arrives on that same turn. Since
both players have to roll for initiative each and every turn it would
not be obvious (at least from the die rolling) that there was an
impending flank march. If a 5 or 6 is rolled then the player simply
announces where the flank march is arriving or states that he does
not have a flank march. I usually refrain from the rules bantor
becuase I usually do not see all of the nuances and impacts which you
all catch. So if this some how throws off play balance or something
then PLEASE blow it out of the water.

>Um, Jon might but I won't. For starters, I'm not a big fan of eliminating
dice rolls as they currently exist in Warrior. Sorry but that's simply a
different philisophical perspective on rules that was provided by the original
posting. I've always felt that anyone who wanted a wholely "deterministic"
game, shouldn't be playing ancients. As for the "fog of war" issue, I've made
my point clear previously as has Jon. Any flank march rule that isn't what is
currently used will be an x-rule.
