I'm hoping to attend the Virtus 2018 tournament Competent Command
5 Heavy swordsmen impetuous
3 Light infantry javelin
1 Light infantry bow
69pts, 9 units

Competent Command
4 Heavy swordsmen ...

There has been some very sound advice already given. I will add my 2 cents from experience.

1. Spear is over costed, avoid as your main unit type if you can.
2. I suggest using list #100 instead, ...

Crossbowmen by far. There’s a decent case to be made for saying all longbowmen in general are over priced. The -1 to protection is dependent on the opponent 1) having protection and 2) not being lig ...

I second Babyshark. I learned things which I hadn’t previously contemplated and it’s interesting to see how different people construct lists and form tactics.

Oh that’s a nice model, is it 15mm? The link to their site didn’t work though, are they still in business?

Question for everyone. I’ve made a 15mm Roman testudo model and molded it. It fits well on a 40x30mm base. I’ve never really seen one for 15mm figures so that’s why I figured I’d make one myse ...

Alternatively you could keep the heavy cav and drop the LI Jav and replace with a Levy. I personally really like Levy troops. For 3 points they are quite powerful and can stand up to and even beat med ...

You charge because you’ll inflict more damage than just sitting back and throwing your javelin, and in difficult going there isn’t a troop type out there who will be better than LI Elite Javelin. ...

I’m a big fan of Donnington. They make some really nice figures and have an extensive range. Also, their flags are hands down the best I’ve seen and I highly reccomend you get them even if you go ...

Those are beautiful! Did you paint them? My Assyrians would love a good fight if only you weren’t across the pond!

ADLG is very much a rock-paper-scissors game. This is good and bad for obvious reasons. I will note, given that the game is rock-paper-scissors, this makes armies such as HYW French very powerful as t ...

You can unprotect the sheet and modify the list if you felt so inclined.

Just got home and shot you an email. Let me know if you didn't get it and I can resend. Glad to hear you are considering moving back to the greatest state in the union! Very Happy

As for the WotR list, f ...

Footslogger, great points and I would really like to try A Coat of Steel someday! I have been thinking a lot recently about the optimal WotR army (and to a lesser extent Flodden army), and I have some ...
