The pike move is purely based on their armor, and borrowed directly from Chainmail & D&D; that's one of those core compatibilities that I wouldn't want to lose. Perhaps the better question is whether their cost is too low (always the hardest part of the design); actually in the games we're current playing I have re-balanced stuff and bumped their cost up to 6 (while keeping light infantry still at 4 and medium sword-board infantry still 5), so I did come around to your thinking there.<br /><br />The rule in BOW is that to appear as a solo figure you need to have 10 HD maximum, to be equivalent to 10 men with 1HD each (and even that's being charitable, because high HD are actually deflated in value). It's similar to the groups-of-10 figures that we use in the book for trolls, hill giants, expansion elephants, etc. <br />Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-34576313744164439052014-12-11T11:07:14.855-05:002014-12-11T11:07:14.855-05:00That should read " '...in the game' A...That should read " '...in the game' AND fleet-of-foot doesn't feel right"...Mujadaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698839746240695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-76277514391417960722014-12-11T11:06:15.241-05:002014-12-11T11:06:15.241-05:00My Balacing Intuition tells me that Pikes' mov...My Balacing Intuition tells me that Pikes' move speed being the same as Light Troops is wrong. I know that historically Swiss Pikes were very fast movers, but still, Pikes being "among the cheapest units in the game" doesn't...FEEL right.<br /><br />Also, can you speak to the reason you decided to make your Treant unit a stand of TEN Treants (80HD at man-to-man!) rather than just having a single Treant with 1 scale HD?Mujadaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698839746240695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-62038412791159011872011-10-28T15:23:09.351-04:002011-10-28T15:23:09.351-04:00Thanks so much for the comments, guys!
There is ...Thanks so much for the comments, guys! <br /><br />There is an "Advanced Rules" section which does handle fantasy types (elves, ogres, etc.), high-level heroes, and wizards. Thus far in the blogs I've just concentrated on the "Basic Rules" only (historical stuff). Also, I seem to lose more often playing by Advanced Rules, so perhaps I'm dragging my feet presenting that stuff. :-)Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-90095250264785627372011-10-28T12:43:14.101-04:002011-10-28T12:43:14.101-04:00Love it!

Your rules might (almost certainly will) replace my current favorites, WRG Ancients 6th edition and DBx/HotT.<br /><br />Question of the moment: how does BoW handle spell users? Or is that something you're working to put in a supplement?faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-71229842670334019792011-10-28T10:21:55.410-04:002011-10-28T10:21:55.410-04:00I'm really enjoying these battle reports and t...I'm really enjoying these battle reports and the feel of the system.
