I played a game of FoG:AM last night, for the first time in probably over a year (Warfare 2010 was my last competitive game of Ancients). Having been deeply submerged in the world of FoG Renaissance for the past 12 months it was a very interesting experience to get back on the Ancients horse again, and try and compare the two sets from the perspective of FoG:R.
Firstly, it wasn't a "standard" game - instead it was in our club competition which involves 2-hour 650 point games played out on a 4x3 playing surface. My pick for the competition was Han Chinese, selected as I own the army but I don't remember ever using them in FoG Ancients at all (well, certainly not as Chinese... I think some of them have pretended to be Koreans or similar!).
My opponent was a Classical Indian army, with rather a lot more units than me (13 to my 8) and who had (also) selected the "Regular" (or is it called "Drilled"?) option for the 9 units of foot bows and warriors in the army. Another interesting angle to the competition is tha...more.
5 lists from Godedingdangdag 2012 now added into the "still in beta but you can try it" FoG:R Wiki. They include Hugenot, Early Imperial Spanish, Hindu Indian, Early Danish (which came 1st) and Later Imperial Austrian
Big Boys Toys in action at a 25/8mm FoG:R Competition, Wallenstein 2011 - see Thirty Years War Germans actually do quite well indeed.
See the theoretically unbeatable TYW Swedes disprove a theory in grand style in 4 reports featuring opponents such as Later Swedes, Imperial Spanish, TYW Swedish Civil War and Dutch.

It's now almost Christmas, and if you are a typical wargamer that probably means a last-minute panic session on Amazon to pick up a few well-thought-out gifts for your loved ones.
Well, if this is your way of spreading festive cheer, please consider Madaxeman.com this Christmas as well. Simply by clicking into Amazon via the links below before starting your shopping you will be helping support Madaxeman.com, at no extra cost to yourself.
You can shop on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com by clicking on these links. Go on - you know Hannibal want's you to !

I've finally worked out how to integrate the design of Madaxeman.com into Blogger (which loads of wargamers use for their websites and to keep track of what;s going on).
This may not sound like a big deal to any technophobes out there, but the practical benefit is that this site now has loads of additional ways for you to pootle around finding obscure, forgotten and random stuff that my lack of a coherent navigation system means might otherwise be forgotten and lost.
It also means that anyone with a Blogger or Google account can do some clever linking and friending stuff to Madaxeman.com.
Have a look for yourself !
(there are also lots of new ways for you to automatically and easily send links from the site to your mates - via Facebook, email and all sorts of other systems - see the new row of logos at the top of each page!)
Four New FoG:Renaissance match reports now on this site. See a Siege of Vienna Lifting Austro-Polish army take on the Anglo Dutch, The Dagestanians, the Ming Chinese and Someone Else.
Report #2 includes Borat's analysis of the Dagestani Army, given in an exclusive live studio interview with CNN's Larry King.
I've added a new widget to Madaxeman.com, which you can now see in the right hand sidebar of most pages. It shows the 10 most recent visitors, with details of where they are from, how they found the site and what pages they have visited.
Each entry links to the page they have been looking at, so it's a great way to see what other people are interested in - and maybe you'll stumble across a few "hidden gems"* on the site too?
(* "hidden gems" translates as "yes, I know the navigational architecture is shocking. But whaddya expect?"
Finally - the 6 match reports from Britcon 2011 are now completed and published on this site.
Marvel at the skill of the Louis XIV Frenchies as they line up and advance to the sound of the guns, usually swearing violently in French as they go!
Gasp at a fabulous array of almost incomprehensible battle maps !
And luxuriate in the insightful post-game analysis of Sir Henry "Renaissance" Hannibal !
A new set of museum photos, this time from the Imperial war Museum in Duxford. Oddly enough whilst there are a load of planes in the photos the bulk of the photos are of tanks from the Land Warfare Hall
Enjoy!
Yes, photos from a quick introductory and over ambitious game of Ambush Alley, complete with some comments on the rules. Almost a review if you like!
I've been tempted into buying a WW2 American company for PBI - adding in some Command Decision half tracks and some tanks from Battlefront. There are some pictures here
Pete Dalby now has an online site for his fledgling Testudo distributorship in the UK - PD Miniatures. UK-based online ordering, photos and payment by Paypal for the Renaissance 15mm and the Tannenberg 28mm ranges
Just on the odd chance that some of the visitors to this site also play World of Tanks, my username in World of Tanks is "madaxemandotcom" - feel free to connect....
