Hi all

Down in Brighton this year our multi-player Christmas game involved 11 players and was based on the Battle of Tinicus (in name only). The War Dr rocked up with over 20,000 points of Romans as two consular armies going up against 10,000 points of Gauls and about 12,000 points of Carthaginians.

Have entered. See you there.

Hi

During a recent club game, a file with a general in combat received a wound, thus needing a base removal. The tug concerned was fighting two other separate tugs. The general's file could not be removed as it was the only one in contact with one tug (A), so couldn't lose contact with that tug in combat. There were no other files not in contact to remove so we took off one from contact with the other tug (B). which didn't break the contact with B. The general's file should have been removed, meaning a test on the general, but we removed a different file to preserve contact with the two tugs A and B. We did a KAB on the general due to base 'loss'.
I'm hoping his was the correct procedure for this circumstance?

Nice to see the Brighton club outing accounts for a tad above 36% of the current entries. They don't let us out much.

Likewise, I'll be journeying up for what is always a fun, friendly event.

Entered. Now the search for an army begins......

Very much looking forward to it. Maybe the final table will look like the list, with me at the bottom. Can't imagine I'll have Simon for a companion though.

GBPs = Golden Brownie Points. Essential to accumulate for any wargamer with a wife/partner etc.

Hi

Looking at the deployment zones for Magna, the flank zone is reduced by 2/3, rounded up, (playsheet Pre-Battle system). This gives a flank deployment zone of 7bw in Magna. However, the limit of 5bw for SUG only deployment is not starred/asterixed so is not reduced. This leaves only 2bw for any UG deployed on a flank, a very narrow window? Thoughts?

Hi

In the Compendium rules the Magna size is 4ft by 3ft, so 122 cm x 91.5 cm so using that would give you the depth you need. For metric rounders 120 cm x 90 cm is fine, Imperials can use 4ft x 3ft. 

Hopefully I will accumulate enough GBPs to attend. The previous year was good fun.

Thanks to umpires on both days and organisers plus all I played; a thoroughly enjoyable competition.

Hi

Inspired by NGR I have bought some chariots so my later Carthaginian army can also be fielded as early. I'm due to play the WarDr at the club on Monday and want to clarify some rules around the Punic Chariots. The ones I use are superior, short spear, melee expert, dev charger, shoot and charge (the works). They do not have to force charge but free charge as per the characteristic description on page 204 Compendium. Regarding skirmish/run away, on page 126 it says that dev chargers never run away/skirmish in any circumstances, any being underlined for emphasis. 1.3 below then talks about other missile focused cavalry/chariots that are missile focused being able to. Am I correct in taking these two together to mean that the dev charging Punic Chariots never skirmish/run away? Thanks.

Thanks.

Hi

Had a moment in a Pacto game last night so seeking clarification. Sug A is pulled/pushed by Tug A, same for Sug B and for Tug B next to them. Both Tugs and Sugs under command of two separate generals. During the game, Sug B is destroyed and Sug A finds itself in front of Tug B. Assuming all conditions are satisfied for pushing/pulling a sug, ie in edge contact, can Tug B move and push/pull sug A, even though the order/card for A's move comes from general B? My interpretation is that yes, this is correct. Any direct order to sug A to do anything other must come from their general, but they can be pushed/pulled from other Tugs not in their command. Thoughts?
