I had such high hopes when I bought Beckwith. Unfortunately his, ahem, erudition turned me right off and the book became almost unreadable for me.

Even his lightest prose has a specific gravity ...

If you are interested in this topic, permit me to suggest Christopher I. Beckwith, The Scythian Empire: Central Eurasia and the Birth of the Classical Age From Persia to China. He makes the case that ...

Follow up for Mike & Mark:

It is important that the figures go under the seat in front. If you put them in the overhead bin then you are guaranteed to have some clown rush onto the plane ...

Best thing that Neep has ever said in these fora. That was really solid work.

I think ADLG would benefit from an FAQ document which will be a concise and up to date reference of rules queries from forum and competitions so that all players are aware of the rulings they are li ...

This does not really follow my experience.

On the other hand, the notion that an action the opposing generals thought would be a sideshow to the "real" battle could turn into the decisi ...

What a strange thing. I just tested it and confirmed that the spreadsheet does not like heavy knight impact mediocre. The rule book takes priority over the spreadsheet, so you may certainly buy heav ...

I believe that your LI could charge the MI if you could arrange for the front edge of the LI to be entirely in the terrain when it made contact. (Perhaps by way of a slide prior to the charge movemen ...
