Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

I really like Cole's suggestion that scouting points have something to do with
achieving home field advantage.

No disrespect intended here, Doug, but I can't imagine we'd want to go to a
system that rewards people who _don't_ invest the time to study the mechanics.

Greetings Jon,
I would be in favor of adding detail to the climate and who fights where. An
empire as large as Rome's fought both as an attacker and a defender in 3 of
the four climates.

I would say for most battles that are fought in tournaments home field probably
should just be diced for. Perhaps you could weight the dicing based off of an
empire's native aggression. An EIR would have a -1, an LIR might have a +1,
a Mongol could have a -2.

I will be running an 800 pt tournament this weekend I will bounce the idea off
of those who attend and report back.

look at who fought where and why.

I was working for something similar on awhile back, as
an X Rule. I may have sent it to Jon, I will have a
look for it. Very similar to Coles suggesstion.

Agreed, Herr Nimzowitsch :)

None taken; I'm just giving a less intensive sort of perspective.
