All historical Wargames have an element of fantasy in them.

I was just reading about the Las Vegas Open, 1,100 40K players. Mind boggling.

That was only 1 of the systems being played. The biggest one.

Are we trying to create a great game or create a great reenactment rule set. I don't think you can fully serve both masters.

Unnecessary change IMHO

Tribal can turn 90 / 180 degrees on a yellow???? Same as formed. You would have too look at all the movements and all the points costs. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

feels 'wrong' , makes the average hoplite as good as a Roman Legionary in melee.

gives them a double bonus of shove and long spear while in two ranks and having lost the 2nd rank are still at +1 so fighting. I suspect will put tribal types at a bigger disadvantage if held from the charge against hoplites

+1

Echoing some other comments above I don't think there's an issue here that really needs to be solved.

100% agree

I have just entered.  Looking forward to it.  Any more from the UK coming?  Some good deals on hotels and Eurostar right now!

I heartily DISagree with the move to restrict frontal charges that contact a flank. If you don't want one of your units to be hit in this way protect it with good positioning of it and other units. Complex rules to mitigate poor choices is a bad idea.
Also the use of skirmishers to restrict wheels during charges is also a perfectly valid choice of when and how to use units.


100% agree with Mr Stead
