The two wheeled cart if you add a couple of druids and a child leading it makes a nice camp, you just need to add the extra figures from somewhere, got mine at a show in the UK. David Constable P.S.-Sorry no picture. Thanks for the suggestion, David. I'll give it some thought.

I don't suppose by any screamingly improbable stretch of coincidence you have a spare 5th chariot? Sorry Denis, only the four Oh well. Worth a shot. Having painted this army over the winter months, I can confirm they are beautiful figures and paint up very nicely. The main problem I had was getting to the last "chariot" pack and discovering that it contained some sort of two wheeled cart.

And I entirely agree with you Martin (bet you didn’t see that coming! ). Yes, perhaps it would be better to move this thread to the House Rule section. That way we can segregate those people who would like change from those that resist any changes whatsoever. I don't object to change, but unless and until there is a revised new edition, any changes we may come up with are house rules. Not that there is anything wrong with house rules either, but one needs to remember that not everyone will want to adopt them.

Fanaticus me! - or words to that effect.
Amazon is (yet again) out of stock. Black Hat Miniatures still has a supply though.

You could argue that as PB wrote "A road must run from one battlefield edge towards the opposite battlefield edge" that a road still crosses the battlefield even though it only contacts one edge (cul-de-sac). David C. You could, but you'd be wrong. The sentence quoted merely give the direction of travel and says nothing about the distance traveled. The road is "on" the battlefield, but, until it reaches the opposite edge, it does not "cross" it.

This is another case of Phil being frugal with his text. Why go into a lot of detail about side selection beyond "if a road crosses the battlefield. " A road ending in a BUA at a water way edge does not cross the battlefield. I agree. However, what is the position if a road runs from one edge and finishes at a BUA which is touching the opposite edge?

Martin, That rings a bell. In fact I think I offered the opinion at the time (as to whether crossing part of the board was enough) that dipping your toe in the sea at Dover does not constitute "crossing the Channel". I would prefer to have a reason to object to the ruse, otherwise it is likely to become mandatory for anybody facing a littoral army. Scott "If a road crosses the battlefield, one of the intersected edges must be chosen [as the attacker's base edge]". (Page 8, first paragraph.) The waterway is on the battlefield. The road doesn't cross the Waterway. Ergo, the road does not "cross" the battlefield. QED

One PIP for the entire group. (Two PIPs if it includes an Elephant or Horde, Artillery etc unless it is that side's first bound.)

Trikak,
Your opponent has posted about this in the DBA 3.0 part of the rules board.

I discovered this a couple of years ago the same hard way that you did. My opponent was as surprised as I was.
I still have no idea whether this was intended, but it is certainly a possible consequence of using a maximum size Wwy. Of course, the Wwy doesn't have to be maximum size and the attacker doesn't have to deploy with the Wwy behind him.
If I remember correctly, the consensus view was that if this happened, the attacker should be allowed to choose a different edge as his base edge.

If anyone is feeling nostalgic or is missing this particular set from their collection, I have a copy which can be yours for the price of the postage.

W&E are also going to produce some Welsh figures following their most recent Kickstarter, but probably not until early next year. I used the Essex figures for my III/19a and am happy with the look of them.

No idea where the vertical line of characters has come from, but i think my previous post is still legible.
