I will only do them where I have had enough experience of a ruleset to do them justice (so 3-4 full games as an absolute minimum). I am looking forward to trying out Armati one day too.JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-20467300937719080802016-04-15T12:42:03.910+01:002016-04-15T12:42:03.910+01:00Thanks for posting this and the three battle repor...Thanks for posting this and the three battle reports - I am a sucker for rules comparisons with the same battle :-) I nodded along with your with your assessments so total agreement with at least one other person.<br /><br />I think you may really like Armati, still my favourite ruleset. Tightly written rules, not as complicated as FoG or DBM but just as much depth in decision-making. i have but not yet played L'Art De La Guerre but I think these will be as good a Armati for me.<br /><br />Good luck on further rule comparisons!Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-24912721092041410972016-04-15T10:54:28.207+01:002016-04-15T10:54:28.207+01:00Thanks very much.

Here it is (for anyone who hasn't yet seen it: https://www.baccus6mm.com/includes/news/jos14report.php). <br />And maybe one day a metal-detector guy will get lucky and stumble upon the battlefield?

We used FoG Ancients and a purpose built terrain. In the rehearsals, there was a pretty even set of results. As there is no great detail avaiable for deployment, we left it to the two players to decide on deployments and that seemed to be pretty crucial in deciding the outcome. Fascinating battle, would be nice to get some really definitive information on its location.

A free one would be Basic Impetus (BI) - I've heard lots of good things about it but would like to see your take.
