|
Bonjour, pourqoui est-ce que les Song du sud (liste 225) n'ont pas d'option "montagne," tandis que leur territoire historique comprenait les regions les plus montagneuses de la chine, y comprise la province de Sichuan, l'ou ils se sont affrontes contres les mongoles a plusieures reprises, par exemple au siege de Diaoyucheng? |

Bonjour,
Si tu as des arguments un peu plus "étoffés", alors je te conseille de contacter directectement en MP, Hervé Caille l'auteur, qui est entrain de préparer une nouvelle version des FAQ.

One of the challenges with an army like the Song, is that apart from Desert terrain (& it could be even argued that there were areas of desert-like terrain in their territory, at some point) they could be eligible for just about every/all types of terrain available in ADLG.
Surely, it is about what terrain types are the 'most representative' for an army.
I would suggest that the sieges of cities are covered by the use of Plains - even if that city was in a Mountainous area? |

Song China was vast, and the Song army could have fought most anywhere within and beyond that domain, much of which was mountainous...
No, Diayucheng is built on a small mountain, as are some other towns in that region.
As for invoking "representativity," why do so many ancient army lists include units that might only have been employed in a single historical battle...?  |

True and there are even some army lists that include troop types that just actually never existed in real life - they are just wargamers 'convention/tradition'.
My point about representative terrain is that if you allow the Song to add Mountainous terrain to their options - you might as well give them all the Terrain options and that gives them a unfair advantage of the other lists. You could also argue that as the Mongols fought a number of campaigns in mountainous regions, that they subsequently conquered that they should also have Mountains as a terrain choice. Surely, it is just a matter of play-balance.
The rules don't really cover siege warfare and the battle of Diayucheng, as I understand it, was actually really a siege of a fortified castle/city on a mountain. |
