David, what would be your call regarding the declaration of terrain type when fielding allies? 1. Would you expect that terrain type to be declared for allies? 2. Or should your opponent be left to do the investigation for themselves when Army/troops are declared? Cheers, I do not see a problem with declaring the terrain type of the Ally - I was once accused of scamming because even though I declared the terrain type of my Ally troops I did not allude to the fact that this entitled them to still stage a landing. I conceded and put the Sea Peoples back into the main battle line and recommenced the battle without the landing, but was then ripped apart by my opponent. There is no justice. ....or "This is my LPIA Nomad ally, who can storm through your dunes and oasis, by the way". Should be up to the opponent to guess why you picked an ally, really, but I usually mention my ally's littoralness, if my opponent is not so au fait with the nuances of landability.... The threat of a landing can be as useful as actually doing one, I find. M

I like to publish a runners & riders list prior to any competition which states any allies. This can assist players look at options before events, There can be precious little on the day. I find this helps prevent such surprises and provides some interest prior to the big day.
However, many players may not be aware that an ally can conduct such landings. In those situations perhaps some education prior can prevent such surprises. After all is it better to educate players so there is a pleasant game or is winning more important?
