Jacob Carter, thanks for point this out. I did not know of this YouTube channel. I already watched one, and got a good idea out of it.

I don’t have Epic, I can only assume they are referring to deep formation from Clash of Eagles. A column formation other than march column is clearly a valid option. One of the things with Warlord stuff is they are not great at being consistent from one publication to another.

Thanks Garry.  That’s what I thought but then saw the attached section of the new Epic Battle rules showing Cavalry as an Attack Column.  Any ideas what this means?

Not under the standard rules but they are allowed ‘deep formation’ in the Clash of Eagles supplement (p.96), which gives them some benefits in movement and combat resolution but greater vulnerability to artillery and reduced combat dice.

Not sure how you are getting this.

Top secret there are no units set up on the table – all units start in reserve. (last paragraph of set-up, MRB, p138)

Thanks for the response Big Al.

1) So there’s no mechanic IN Hand to Hand Combat that causes a Disorder result, got it. Makes the reference I mentioned very misleading.

2) Okay, so the winner takes any casualty counters in excess of his Stamina value into the next turn.

3) There is no mention of Division Commanders anywhere in the rules, only…[Read more]
