yeah like Simon, everything is doubled, bases and move too, so the terrain is 120*120cm.

and i continue to think ( ) that it's strange that a fleeing unit don't go out of the side board but slide on the side to their deployment side... (considering that a recoil unit don't do that and just go out by any side) for me it's an artificial rule with the goal of keeping unit alive a little longer! fleeing is fleeing, for me, most of the time, it's hard to have the whole unit came back and return to fight. (or at last, it need an "after fleeing" rule)

ok for me it's strange than a panic unit don't go out by any board edge, not only his deployment edge, and a simple recoil unit, exit by any edge, i mean no problem for the second case, but it's hard to explain the first one, it's not a pinball game!

about the case of eliminated when you go out of the board,
so, it seem that there is a difference between Fleeing and Recoiling through the board egde :
if fleeing you can slide along the edge and continue the move to your deployement border,
but not if recoiling? (if a unit must recoil and already against the border (any border?) it will be eliminated.
am i right?

"don't worry and play!" is the good answer!

yes, true!
but Cv or even Kn have 3 against foot and Bw 4 against mounted so a little avantage for the Bw, i suppose it reflect the number of men in Bw unit / number of mounted in a unit no?
and btw Kn destroy at +1 Pikes, Spears and Blades too (ok in good going terrain only)... (but back supported Pikes have +1 against Kn, it's true)
thanks!

so... a player ask me, why Bow units have huge factor 4 against mounted in contact ? so the same as Pikes and Spears and better than Blades! is there a good reason for that? or is it just a matter of balance? seem to me that it could be 3 like Auxilia but... thx, Eric

nobody's perfect... the problem here is to find, not the real meaning of some text, but triing to keep the mood of the rules (and if it be close enough to historic result, and keep the rules simple it will be great! ) so let's compare the different interpretations, and see what is the result in games for each and for different cases, maybe there is one better than other?

interesting post, It's hard to have proof of what colors is used on clothes, but, think of quite recent discoveries about colorfull statues of different antic period. Trade in mediterranean area was very important (trade-roads by boat was faster than by foot!) and an impressive number of raw materials, metals, food, informations and knowledge was diffused around all countries, so the knowledge of coloring clothes. it's could be more a matter of fashion (already!) and of course the difficulty to produce some rare colors. so for example it seem than Roman people like White, Purple, Blue, Red, Scarlet, Yellow, Green, Brown, Black... (but it could be different between town and countryside!) of course peasants and poor peoples could have no choice that to use natural colors for their clothes (so different wool colors, different leather, and linen like colors...) and colors could be not so bright and saturate that today (as the color process to fix the color in the clothes was maybe less effective and durable) i think that merchants, like today tried to make clothes which pleased to their customers, so they tried to be original and beautiful. (and maybe importing rare material from far east) the question of what is considered as beautiful in Antiquity, in Athens, Sparte, Rome or Babylon for example, is another interesting question! and of course, some colors have different meaning in Antiquity and for some belief, religions or just decorum that could be very different from one country to another. (think the use of white or dark for mourning period, or use of particular color for showing religious affiliation...) But remember that we talk about Warriors, some want to be visible from far away to impress ennemy, (color or drawing on Shields too) but some (especially Psiloi) maybe not want to be seen, so they tend to use natural colors, and most of them (as it's a matter of money) just wear simple clothes under armor. (and sometimes nothing at all, so it could be impressive to ennemy too, (body painting! ) the case of Alexandrer the great is interesting too, companions wore very different colors from those we usually see, but Achaemenid Persians too (bright and colorfull armies!)
