Thanks for that FAQ.Going to play first game on Friday using Punic war units - very few hoplite type units save what Carthage is bringing, and maybe Triarii, so it'll be interesting. Going to field the Republican Romans as Elite and drilled type infantry and the Pila will be greatly missed, but I think the game will still work out wonderfully.The FAQ really helped to clear up some confusion, so thank you again! Cheers
I hope you post a batrep
I was thinking how these might work for the Punic Wars as well, with Pila I thought before a Roman unit enters melee then roll a d6, if you score 4,5 or a 6 then the Pila has managed to disrupt the enemy formation forcing them to fight in open order. Or another option would be to add more attack dice, like you do for attacking flanks or rear.
I'd love to do a video one on my YouTube channel, but I think since its my first time playing the best I can possibly do is a picture one. We'll see.That would be interesting. I was also thinking +1 to d6 rolled in attack or something when you charge in. But I think for our initial games we'll just stick to original game book stuff and pretend the Romans left the pila at home
A points question for Eric: Why are warband infantry so expensive? They are worse in almost every way to peltasts, but 50% more costly?Based on their stat line and lack of special traits, I would have thought they were more akin to psiloi in points cost.
It’s interesting to see the game played with large single bases as you did Irregular Wars Nic. That’s something I can certainly attest to - the game men of bronze really can be played on any basing style as long as you have a system to differentiate open order and phalanx. You can even just state “base width value is x” and honestly then use any basing system. I think if I used my men on 20x20 and 40x40 mm bases and games against someone with men on 25mm circle bases and we agreed base widths meant 20mm , the game would run smoothly.
