I think it didn't like the Size brackets being on the outside, so I transferred them to the middle and it seemed to work.

That's my next project sorted, they look brilliant.

Does any one know a good set of rules?

I'm sure Kitty will have the relevant info.

...And thank you. :-[

Any time, any time. I'm looking forward to comparing pix and lists, and in time AAR.

Perusing the forum after a bit of a sabbatical, my eye was offended by a new range of "Aztecs" in the Renaissance section wherein one obtains one's LOA stuff. So whilst I have no intention of sidetracking into creating another spur to the burgeoning metal mountain, one IS moved to ask what flipping rules you'd use to play an Aztec army? I imagine normal renaissancerules wouldn't cut it?

L'Art de la Guerre gives a good game with a nice "feel", I'm told, certainly within period (it's a DBx evolution with understandable and straightforward mechanisms, with each unit having 2-4 hits, from 10-12 units on a small game game up to three dozen on the biggest size).

The Meso-American lists are apparently competitive out of period too if you know what you're doing and can do it well, but a dud otherwise :)

Whilst I love AdlG as a game, it suffers the same as most "pointy stick, tin pants" sets and covers 3000 years and the entire globe in one set. Works as a game superbly and does give right feeling ish results, but it's not very simulationist or period specific - I suspect many would want more tightly focused rules with more "period chrome"...

Every dark ages gamer these days goes in for cattle or other livestock raids. I really can't think that it will be so difficult to play Mexicans as if a medieval or pike-and-shot army with extra provision for taking prisoners.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I must say I'd fancy an 'Intra-Aztec' campaign more than a Conquistador vs Aztec one (147 mounted Spanish versus an Aztec army, massive loss to latter, not metioning teh huge no of Aztec enemies allied to the Spanish of course). Ancient rules might seem to cut that one. Yes, I believe mush Meso-American pre-Columbian warfare was to acquire prisoners to sacrifice so you'd need to build that in somehow... Unless Fierce Kitty knows better. (Incidentally, a campaign worthy of the Ancient Republican Romans themselves to get this range. Well done! You got Carthage destroyed in the end)

No, what am I saying... No, no, no, I have already way too many projects on the go
