I’m dusting off my Khmer figures and see that the elephant mounted ballista are Elephant mediocre, as expected. But does the artillery fire as mediocre (as I have previously played WW bow mediocre) ...

[quote="Hazelbark"]I do think Dave's initial instinct that this is not permitted is correct.

The Line of sight rules do not permit you to cross an obstacle and the front edge of the targe ...

Dave, you're a genius!

I see now that is theoretically possible for a column of three bow units fronted by an LI marching down a hill to shoot over the units in front at the front or back edge (acc ...

Devious?

Thank you Dave - I’m working on my deviousness in preparation for the LGT. I’m part of team SAD (Somerset, Avon and Dorset). See you there, I hope.

Hi all

Can't find this one answered anywhere, but it arose today in a game. My cavalry was placed on a road just forward of a village. The road behind them was straight for about 3MU's back into ...

We’ve always treated it as “current ability in this set of circumstances”. Eg if you lose your ability to furious charge, along with other things you lose your ability to cancel opponent furiou ...

Hi All

How is it usual to manage moving troops along a road with a bend in it? There is no terrain setup requirement to keep roads straight, but it seems clear that no provision is made in the rul ...

Hi all

I've never seen it played under this ruleset, but is it acceptable to pay for fortifications to cover the flank as well as the front of any unit defending them? eg an artillery piece in a t ...

I see it now - many thanks
