Ok - so when in the Fort an element is not affected by the TZ of an enemy element outside.
If there is an element enemy TZ across the gate exit, then the moment the element in the fort leaves then it is affected in the normal way.
If no TZ across the gate outside then the element is free to move outside unimpeaded

Could the Spear just, "if a single element, move straight back to its own rear for the entire move." That is, move backwards out the gate, directly away from the Ax? Bob - suppose it could. Yes. But still a restriction, as the element cannot engage other enemy outside the fort or assist other friendly elements or arack the 4Ax, causing the issue in the first place.

Just came up this evening, where there was a spear element as a garrison on a fort. An opposing 4Ax moved into the TZ of the fort, but on a flank away from the gate, But did not assail the fort.
The fort and the garrison are therefore in the TZ of the 4Ax opponent element? Correct?
Therefore I assume that the Spear garrison element cannot leave the fort by the gate which is on another side of the fort, as it would be leaving the TZ of the 4Ax.
Also could the Sp element leave the fort by the gate, and then move around the perimeter of the fort to engage the enemy 4Ax?
Thanks Peter

Like Gerardus I am based in thre SE. Surrey near the A3 / M25.
Alton is within an hour, and PAWs OK depending on local traffic. But I do not think anywhere else is less than 2 Hours really. No London events? Maybe a task for me to put on the to do list.

I was wondering what the concern is was to painting a row of figures mounted on balda or other sticks, say 8-16 per stick, depending if infantry or cavalry etc.
I tried this stick approach the other day, primed with black and then set of for Catalan Company Almughavars. 16 on each stick. Essex figures. I found the start quick when I was then building the colours, but then the detail seemed to take more time than if individual figures being done in a batch. I was forever twisting and turning the stick, was frustrated that I could not easily access all areas, and got repetitive strain in my fingers.
Historically I have always primed a batch of individual figures, and then painted them in a batch, but on separate card bases.
I think I may now spray prime on the sticks, take the figures off and then paint as themed batches on separate bases of 16 to 24 Per batch.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Peter

Has anyone recommendations for flag manufacturers to cover 15mm Scandinavian Armies.
Especially kingdom of Norway and of Sweden and Union Armies. Era say 1150 to 1350....
Thanks

Thanks Gregorious,
From what I have read I will probably go with the Scots Common rather than the Highlamds and Islands List. My understanding is at this date there was a strong Centralised Scottish Kingdom which is covered by the list.
For the Kingdom of Norway I may go the Viking List you are proposing to use, but with a Higlamds and Islands Ally.
Something like that.
I was also interested in how the troops may have looked in the Norway (Viking) army at this time. Researching this.
Thanks
Peter

Afraid I cannot attend the event - in Guyana....Peter Me neither, atm....despite best efforts, was thwarted by the roster-gods. At least you have a flight - getting to Caribbean a nightmare - cancellations. Could give you a DBA in Barbados if you are going in that direction 😎

Colleagues,
I want to develop a scenario for this Battle but a bit confused and need some advice.
For the Scots Army I believe I can use the Scot’s Common List and troop types and seem reasonable.
But what about the Nowegian Army. The date fits within the 1280 End date for the III/40 b normal Viking list. But is that actually applicable.
Was the Kingdom of Norway still fighting as Blade dominant. I looked at the Head book on Feudal Europe and the Scandinavian troops have become similar to other Western troops - so no traditional Vikings a la Stamford Bridge then?
On Baz Battles he does use the word Leidang - but in the Army lists Leidang armies do not have Scots Common as enemies....
How could I set this up and look reasonable with appropriate troops?
Any ideas - Peter
