A new 25mm event at the Oxford Club – 6/7 June 2015
FoGR or FoGAM armies to FoGR rules!!
Dene & Ray are looking to attend. Any interest from other BAD gamers? If so please let us know at the club tonight so that we can give Oxford an idea of response. If the numbers do not warrant them paying for the hall over the whole weekend they may curtail it to a one-day event.
Details from Tom Elsworth & link:
“we have got the weekend of 6/7 June booked at the Oxford Wargames Club hall for a FOGR/FOGAM event and have in mind a 25mm weekend.
Idea is to make it completely open covering the full set of armies for both rules so as to give as many people as possible chance to field an army. the rules used would be FOGR and the only limit would be no chariots allowed. It would be necessary for people using FOGAM armies to interpret troop categories appropriately but this does not seem problematic and can be at the discretion of the list checker to approve. I guess we would go for 650 points with a view to getting 4 games in at a relaxed pace”
Just to clarify a few points on the use of FoGAM armies to FoGR. From the Slitherine site:
“There are a few wrinkles which I list below as special rules for the competition (comments welcome!!):-
FOGR heavy lance to be used for gens d’armes equivalents – say from 1400 onwards
FOGR keils apply to AM pike blocks from the introduction of Pikes into the Swiss armies
FOGAM impact foot who use heavy throwing weapon (legions, Spanish) will take the points of impact foot plus bayonet/swordsmen but count as having light spear versus mounted and straight impact foot versus foot
Undrilled AM HF/MF will count as warrior
Slingers will count as bows with long range limited to 4 MUs
Compulsory fortified camps need not be bought
AM artillery counts as poor
AM type “protected” and “unprotected” both count as unarmoured
AM spear armed mounted will count as light lance
Terrain and deployment:
use 15mm terrain, 1 compulsory plus 1 to 3 optional
AM developed counts as agricultural
deploy and flank sections 15mm distances and baggae shall be full width but half depth (tables will be 4′ by 6′”
