FOG In March

[jokulhaup]

While I paint up my FOG Renaissance army wondered if anyone fancied a game of FOG Ancients/Medieval.

Also if anyone fancies a game of FOG on the 23rd let me know, more time means we can actually complete an 800pts game without too much fuss.

I'm planning to come to the Sunday meeting on the 23rd and I'd be happy take part in a FoG game, although I haven't played a game in ages. I can field 800 point of my usual WotR or Byzantines (I've only got about 650 points of Visigoths). Have you switched to FoG version 2?

By-the-way, what Renaissance army are you building and in which scale?

I'm following the lead of Chris Re renaissance army scale, my Imperial Spanish are 6mm.

I've also arranged a game of Warhammer 3rd Ed for the day but we should also have time for both it and a game of FOG, with a preference for facing your Byzantines (as I cant recall facing them before). Oh and given the amount of FOG ancients/medieval thats been played recently no one but Chad's bothered getting the FOG V2 book.

I have version 2, but I'm happy to play the original. I'll bring my Byzantines and will fit in around the Oldhammer games. I'm aiming to get to the scout hut at about 10:00am, I don't want to get up too early on a Sunday morning.

6mm FoG renaissance sounds interesting, but will have to wait until I've completed at least one of my current projects.

Great, see you on the 23rd.

Re 6mm FoG Renaissance: Well its certainly an interestng, if you want to try it out one week I'm sure Chris would be more than willing to give you a game one Monday.

Thanks for the game on Sunday Michael, it was good to get through a complete game.

One of your Warhammer opponents mentioned Tony Bath and his Hyborian campaign. There are some details of this on the web, see:

He wrote a book, "Setting up a wargames campaign", that detailed the rules he used. It is one of the classic old wargame books. You can still get this from the the History of Wargaming Project site:

Thanks for the this and the game on Sunday, having that extra time certainly added to the experience and enabled the game to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
