Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Dave Lauerman]

Hello;

We had a 3 round 1600 point tourney at The Shield on Saturday. Only 4
people showed up to play, but we played a round-robin and had a good
time anyway. Participants were (in order of finish);

Rich Gagliasso-- Early Imp. Romans--12 points
Dave Lauerman -- Early Seleukids --10 points
John Baumann -- 100 YW English -- 4 points
Ed Forbes -- Marian Romans -- 4 points

The latest version of the Roman infantry rules were a subject of much
headscratching, with the non-romans wondering why the front rank of a
unit you just laid a 3-per on was not counting disordered. This was
particularly perplexing when the unit in question was disordered
before the combat began, stayed disordered during the first round,
and then magically recovered in time for the second round of HTH. At
any rate, a good time was had by all.

There was an amusing moment in my last-round game against John. The
terrain gave the English a lovely hilltop covered with brush to
deploy on, which when added to his ditch covered about 3/4 of his
table edge. After about an hour of very short bounds during nobody
moved much, we broke down and admitted to each other that we were
both under"WAIT" orders. Game was called (1-0 for John, the only loss
being my scythed chariot, which dutifully charged to its doom on
Bound 3) and drinks were ordered, neither of us wishing to be the one
to hand the other 5 points on a platter.

More people would've been nice, but it was a good time anyway. dave
