Re: The 300 HERO-fied? That is a really good one, but a print did not come out until the 80's? so I was already gone. the one that got me where 300 Spartans Ben Hur (galley naval goodness) Spartacus (the Roman legions coming over the Hill, 5000 Spanish army soldiers with a reverse negative shot to get the second Legion) Cleopatra - Roman turtle, more Naval goodness ( more from Ben Hur) and great personal Armour. The Warlord (with Mr Heston again)- Normans vs vikings and catapults. finally the vikings good raid on an English ship, bird Fu and a very clever way to get into a castle (with Mr Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis). Lord Ghee

Re: The 300 HERO-fied? Try the 300 spartans (1962) it is the movie that got me intested in wargaming. first hour snorr 2nd hour very historical done with the Greek goverment (thier braveheart) cast of thousands. Lord Ghee

Re: The 300 HERO-fied? Lord Liaden, which commentaries are you reading? in my general reading (Herodotus and Thucydides all I have read that are primary) In my general reading the Athenians decide that they could not beat the Spartans in the field. that the Greeks generally believed they where the best and was the best army for 200 years +. this is what the exile king with the Persian when asked stated. He accompanied Xerxes I on his invasion of Greece in 484 BC and is alleged to have warned Xerxes not to underestimate the Spartans before the Battle of Thermopile: The same goes for the Spartans. One-against-one, they are as good as anyone in the world. But when they fight in a body, they are the best of all. For though they are free men, they are not entirely free. They accept Law as their master. And they respect this master more than your subjects respect you. Whatever he commands, they do. And his command never changes: It forbids them to flee in battle, whatever the number of their foes. He requires them to stand firm -- to conquer or die. O king, if I seem to speak foolishly, I am content from this time forward to remain silent. I only spoke now because you commanded me to. I do hope that everything turns out according to your wishes. — Herodotus vii (trans. G. Rawlinson IN Herodotus history the Persian king brings to Greece an exiled Spartan king at dinner one night tiering of the Spartans claims of best ask his body guards who was the best swordsmen among them. just so happen that number one and two best of the guard was there. the king ask the Immortals to kill the Spartan. Luckly the ex Spartan was armed with a gold dinner plate and killed the two men, he returned the plate to the Great King who must have thought " OMW I am eating next to a killing Machine" but it is just a story.

Re: Transparent Aluminum? I was doing research in 1982 and came across listings of Master papers with titles like making transparent al work from 1977, so it was being thought of years before the movie (case of writer using a little know piece of science to get a plot hook). Lord Ghee

Re: Dealing with Stun, End etc in Fantasty the trick is to be the charging pole arm unit not the unit being charge by the pole arm unit. Lord ghee

Re: Dealing with Stun, End etc in Fantasty You not sound snippy, you sound informed, me Lord Ghee twenty years experience re-enactor. Me have many Friends that are re-enactors, seen many armours, many styles. Me like Fantasy Hero also because just tweak to get sim result. Mainly fought leather with scales. best seen was recreated suit of brigande from Denmark mass grave. course plate really best (not afford I). used old judo ghee as padding (thick). used chain (with wool tunic roman style now understand why use big shield) few time over years not protect enough. Mardock know lot also. fought next to a real pike unit (12 to 14 foot pikes) my unit had large Shields and pole. Pike awesome. Have built, armour, catapults, ballistas, and castle (a gate that worked,two doors that swung open and had two towers the walls where hay bails that we fought over. Lord Ghee rep you. Lord Ghee

Re: Dealing with Stun, End etc in Fantasty some people used leather under thier plate for the extra def, but leather is the hottest of armours (go figure) so the weight of it and the heat factor made it less likley of it use. Leather is also generally more flexable (chain best) which you lose when you wear it with a plate stlye armour. Lord Ghee

Re: Dealing with Stun, End etc in Fantasty In Cleopatra (R Burton and E. Taylor) many of the players are seen putting on their Armour. Both Caesar and Anthony wear plate over leather. check it out. Lord Ghee

Re: Dealing with Stun, End etc in Fantasty I First ran a FH campaign when it came out in the early 80's. I decided to try all of the rules and this set the tone for the many of the campaigns in El Paso since. Generally we play Hit locations. equipment bought. Depends on the campaign on the max Armour avb. Usually it is a high Fantasy style so all are avb. (in the robbing hood game the Max amour was 7 double chain with plate helmets and elbows knees ) Magic is powers with frameworks. MA are allowed. (more common now than a few years ago.) Magic items are given to the players and do not count toward exp awarded. In general thou Magic items are few but usually powerful. I miss the scroll, potion, ring, wand. swords. ect finds of D@D. Grunts well I usually build them on 25/25 Sargent experience types at 50/50. they use same rules as everyone else. so in the last Campaign which was a WuXia the soldiers of course had MA but the bandits did not. In my last High Fantasy camping the soldiers did not have MA and the PC did not have Ma (just was not in that culture), In my Mycenaean game (The Son of Hercules game) a player was playing an Assassin from the order of the assassins so he had MA. His secret art. If you are new try no MA at first. I like weapon lengths ocv mod and Long term Endurance but generally the others in the group do not. Bleeding and crits have been used in about half the games but is becoming more common. they weapon charts are usable but I modify them. shields, I have fought with a shield in reenactments so I have modify their use. offhand weapon or dagger present +1 CV buckler ( covers hand and arm) +2 small (medieval heater or roman cav round shield, shoulder to waist)+3 Med ( Greek round Hoplon or viking round, covers shoulder to knee top) +4 Large (example roman rectangle designer to cover from ankle to shoulder) +5 and I know that depending on what period that the styles of shields change. Shields can be used active or passive. Passive they cover hit locations from the arc it is presented and act as a force wall. this for example allows William Wallace in Brave heart to "hide" behind his small shield from the arrows raining down on him and allow you to cover a fallen friend and yourself from that fire. (skill roll could be required ect) people can target uncovered locations. Active, one gets the DCV from all perceived attacks. this generally cost endurance. In general the other game masters have run the standard rules and they work fine. I allow magic items to be created usually this requires items in game. like lotus flower pollen to create a sleep dust. Good Luck Lord Ghee
