The dicing for orders makes for more unpredictability but with the new rule additions can be tempered if desired. Baldinus had a sound plan but his troops seemed unable to grasp it (damn those dice gods) it appears his troops are lacking commitment. Perhaps being March he should watch his back🙂Phil Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492795333982935431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021096045371174446.post-7127518294769707362023-03-16T01:13:41.681-07:002023-03-16T01:13:41.681-07:00The Hail Caesar must have grabbed you to move you ...The Hail Caesar must have grabbed you to move you on from your go to Thomas rules (with mods). Are you using 1 base = 1 unit?<br /><br />I have the rules (not played in anger yet), but for medievals I am still wandering around sets and with the new HC now including WotR - perhaps the time has come or me to give them a bash.<br /><br />I was concerned that they would fit the ‘line them up and go’ style competition / traditional ancients game, but you scenario shows much more dynamism than that - some good story telling, so I think they will suit me.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.com
