When I looked at the statistics for this blog, I noticed that my 2018 ADLG survey had experienced a recent spike in popularity.
This set me thinking. It's been almost a year since the release of version 4 of Art de la Guerre (ADLG) and the UK competition circuit has fully re-opened after the Covid-19 pandemic.
So I thought wouldn't it be good to re-run the 2018 survey and see if things had changed and if so to what extent.
Sometime ago I stumbled across a free STL file for the "Confused General" from the cover of the De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA) rules.
Thanks to fellow Lance & Longbow Society member Will McNally I now have half a dozen 15 mm resin prints. I'm grateful to Will for finding time to print these amongst his busy printing schedule.
I'm quite some way off finishing my Arab Conquest army but even so there's pleasure to be had reading the various Arab Art de la Guerre (ADLG) lists and day dreaming about what the army will be like when it's finished.
During one such session I noticed the option to use medium spearmen with missile support (see the end section for what that means in ADLG) and after reading the rules I realised this would be a good thing.
Although not strictly necessary, I settled on using LI bases at the rear of the spear units to signify the missile support. On checking my pile of unpainted figures I realised I did not have enough figures for these markers and would have to buy more from Forged in Battle.
The extra pack duly arrived but as I sorted through them I spotted that one casting was prone to a fatal flaw.
