Any reviews / playtest AARs, or other material about the game we can see before we buy? Thanks, JJ |

Hmmm may have to give this a whirl. |

Is this any relation to the old Milgamex game of the same name from the 70s? |

I will have to give these reviews a read this afternoon. I am always looking for Medieval rules to try out. Thanks Chris. |

I purchased a copy on the web site. Is the PDF distribution automated or is it manual? |
Marshal Mark | 24 Jun 2014 3:54 p.m. PST |
It's manual. I've just sent you them. |

These look really interesting, I'll be picking them up soon. |

Look interesting, just ordered a copy. Can I make an observation – the "Add to cart" button is grey on a grey background
.. Spot the problem, took me ages to find it!!! |
Marshal Mark | 25 Jun 2014 7:10 a.m. PST |
Yes, I knew that was a problem. I couldn't figure out how to fix it but I've just changed the background colour which makes it easier to see the button. |

Got my copy as well yesterday. A print-friendly version is also available by request, which I also got. |

These sound like a great game for my son and his friends, just starting out in ancients. Eagerly awaiting them! |
Who asked this joker | 25 Jun 2014 12:37 p.m. PST |
Just ordered. Looking forward to the rules. |

So I guess there's no copyright problem with using a title that's been used before? |
Marshal Mark | 26 Jun 2014 4:01 a.m. PST |
So I guess there's no copyright problem with using a title that's been used before? As far as I know, no, there's not. There are many cases of boardgames having the same name as previous games. The other rules in question were written 40 years ago, and I don't think there is any danger of confusion. There's an article about copyright law and how it applies to game titles and content here : link |
Who asked this joker | 26 Jun 2014 4:22 a.m. PST |
The subtitles are different besides. I think it should be fine. There probably isn't much chance of Milgamex rising from the grave and suing the pants off of you. |
CptKremmen | 26 Jun 2014 12:40 p.m. PST |
Had a quick read of my set and they look very interesting. Armati and Impetus are favourites of mine and I can see they feel more like those rules and DBA/DBM/FOG which I have long since given up on |
