Thanks Norm. Snag is that most of the banners are out of context outwith Flodden. Still, only a heraldry guru would notice, right?

Haven't worked out the points value, probably never will

I should of course have mentioned that DBA and Hordes of the Things (HOTT), among others, have systems for the selection and placing of terrain.

The main problem was the rules used; the combat factor for archers was twice what H and H allows, combine that with pretty even dice scores for each side and you end up with that result. I'm new to H and H but like what I read, yet to run a game using it, only waiting for my D12s! Thinking of adapti...

I'm going to adopt this as an optional ability for all my archers. One way round the Agincourt problem is to allow h-to-h combat but only as s...

Can't get my head round these and the rules are anything but clear to me, e.g.:

1-3 Hex OK that's the range;
but what does 4+(H) 9+(H) mean?

However at 4 Hex range;
6+(H) 12+ (2H) sems to indicate the guns are more effective at longer range?

At a loss with this, any kind person care to explain it?

Just signed up. At present slowly shifting everything over to the Kallistra way but for scales from 10mm to 28mm. Ancients to WW2.
