It isn't available yet; we are one of the playtest groups, which is why we have access to it. We think it works well, and we'll be using it for Plataea at Carronade and Claymore. Anybody fancy a game?!Calibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137774792085672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-87244373342296768332012-01-30T18:43:43.499+00:002012-01-30T18:43:43.499+00:00Ah, I'm not familiar with that ruleset.

I'm not enitrely sure how historically accurate that is in certain periods, but it certainly gives them character.Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-59905706567635881062012-01-30T15:15:27.255+00:002012-01-30T15:15:27.255+00:00Hi guys, thanks for looking.

I'm thinking of making the change such that they don't have to roll for command if they are in a defensive position, which under the rules isn't quite the same as disordering terrain. In our game on Tuesday it probably wouldn't have mattered since the rot set in on the flat between the ridge and the rough. But then I might have deployed them differently if I had know there was more chance they would stay on the hill. Gauls tend to be a bit mental!Calibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137774792085672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-3627742694557295002012-01-30T15:01:05.210+00:002012-01-30T15:01:05.210+00:00Is the rule-set Impetus?

Would you make the rule change based on they'd never leave a good defensive position or have it that a random element still counts?Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-31979971712492615182012-01-30T14:32:05.060+00:002012-01-30T14:32:05.060+00:00Thanks for the update, warbands are always reckles...Thanks for the update, warbands are always reckless....The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
