Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

I was looking at their starter deals and they look great. I'm chompin at
the bit to order about 6 of them but wanted a little more info first. I
have two questions for anyone who might have seen them:

1) How large are they? I don't mind real 25mm, but small 25s look
ridiculous next to Foundry and I have several Foundry Armies.

2) Do they come with pikes, spears, lances, etc? Call me a sissy, but I'd
pay an extra buck a guy to not have to make my own point-y bits.


Thanks,
James

Is your question simply a query on whether these tactics were actually used,
or is it a comment as to why fight with ahistorical formations and tactics?

Sounds like the old argument here, Are we fighting a historical battle? or
Are we using historical armies to try to accomplish what historical generals
either couldn't or fight in a way they didn't conceive?

I will let you know as soon as my order comes in. I ordered some NKE,
Libyans and Sea Peoples (surprise, surprise). I placed an order with the US
supplier before the entire range was ready, but I expect them at the end of
the month, or any day now.
I already have the Carthaginian 4-horse chariot, and it is very nice. The
cab assembles easily, parts are keyed to fit well. The cab is roomy. The
figures are very compatible with Foundry 28mm stuff. If uou like to cut
away reins on chariot horses, drill out the mouths and supply your own wire
reins, these horses are easier than most.
Order from
http://www.tinywars.com/
in the USA, they are very cheap, and post paid. My first order was delayed
by the unavailability of some, but I will let you know.

James,

They are 28mm, but are skinnier than Foundry. Maybe better in
proportion ?!.

Weapons are supplied. The javs and spears are stout enough to
actually use, swords were casted in-hand. I have not seen their
pikes though.

I have their EIR with Numie Cav, and a Spanish/Greek/Jewish mix for
LI. They mixed well with Gripping Beast Legionarii, but the GB
German Cav is much bigger.

Regards,
Fred
