When I was a medical student at Bart's (which is in The City), one of the more Bart's-centric of the consultants was described as the sort of chap whose idea of a "Northern Hospital" was the Royal Free (Hampstead). Scott

In fact the later version of the classical Indian has 3 X 3Lb instead of 4Lb and is probably the better army as a result. You will still need to add some elements though. The same applies to Vedic Indians, although the Lb are now just ordinary Bw. You will have the little matter of adding 4 X LCh though! Scott

Remind me, who are the UK distributors? Have any of them got the range in stock? Magister militum don't have them on their web site as yet. Scott

Was it implied that either of these formed a DBA army of any sort? They don't fit any DBA 3.0 list, nor any 2.2 as far as I can recall. Are they old looking? could they be from an earlier set? The 4 Ax (legionaries on a 20mm deep stand) places the Romans as EIR or MIR, but with some other elements added, possibly at random. I am not aware of any Indian army with a foot command element. It looks like a classical Indian with most of the elements missing. Anything later has more mounted. Scott

Joe,
I have always been completely baffled by this rule, especially given PB's fixation with brevity. Baldes through blades or spears I can understand as a reference to Camillan and Polybian Romans, but blade through blade never happens in DBA since all it does is cost a PIP. Blades through spears might have a point if menaced by mounted, but I have never, ever, seen it. Like you, I presume pikes through blades is a mediaeval thing, but why? Have you ever seen pikes recoil through blades? Why would one set up such a situation? What difference does it make if psiloi push back other psiloi rather than interpenetrating them? I initially thought it had disappeared (not being in the recoiling section), but no, it is still there in the interpenetration section.

Not disagreeing with your conclusion as such Bob, but do they not treat dunes and oasis differently? Scott

Christopher, There is no internationally used system. The NASAMW system is widely used in the US. Look on the old fanaticus. Search "tournament scoring Systems" if you fancy an hour or so of reading combative verbal debate. In the UK the trend is towards simpler systems, for example 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, and final tie-break resolved by sum of opponent's scores. It does also depend on how you are pairing opponents in each round. Scott
