The new Gladiator figures are now listed on the Crusader Miniatures UK site. We hope to have castings on Tuesday. We have a special 'buy all Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:30:59 GMT Mark http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3362 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3362 The 1740 break point was basically to keep the rules out of the 'pike' era but there is nothing to stop folks using them for earlier battles - with just a few Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:48:47 GMT steamingdave47 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3361 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3361 Just got my copy of Rank and File rules. Nicely produced and looks as if it will produce a good game. I am in the process of rebuilding a 28mm Russian Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:07:09 GMT Craig Woodfield http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3360 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3360 I've thought seriously about it. I don't see any significant issues with using the Crusader rules. The great thing about the Age of Battles period (1550-1615) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:06:35 GMT Anthony http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3359 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3359 Has anyone tried using the Crusader rules for Feudal Japan? Each time and place has its on idiosyncracies. Would Crusader rules be a reasonable fit?

We are having a Crimean game Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:41:32 GMT Mark http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3357 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3357 HI there, Yes - it does basically represent the cavalry flowing around the square - how much actual physical contact there is is debateable but after the first Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:36:20 GMT Mark http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3356 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3356 I don't have any plans to add to any of the older ranges at the moment. I know that I need to 'tidy' up a few loose ends but I doubt that will happen before Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:57:11 GMT olafnn2003 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3355 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3355 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:14:00 GMT mariebuchel http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3354 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3354 Sorry if this question has already been answered but is there any chances to see a Thracian general pack released sooner or later. Same question for the nice Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:56:52 GMT r.chapman-hughes@... http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3353 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3353 Hello mark again today something cropped up in our game. A brief overview, i unit of cavalry charge a square, the first round of melee is a draw onto round Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:31:06 GMT keithflint60 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3352 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crusaderminis/message/3352 Mark, I think your point about the Army Morale rules being suited to one's style of game are correct, and make framing rules a bit more difficult.
