On Bloody Ground "The Norman Conquest" - How to: Movement 

Movement is definitely simplified but we have aspects of realism where you’d expect it most. Units in shieldwall can’t manoeuvre at all for example (without breaking out of formation) but can instead shift forwards, backwards, left or right. The basic mechanics of games should be simple for anyone to understand, the complexity is in the list building, where to put your commanders, where you want your units to be placed, as well as lots of other factors that shouldn’t put off either seasoned or new wargamers to the period

That’s right, it just makes the game flow more rather than having to calculate multiple things just to move back for example. Some units may have more restricted or fluid movement but that will shown in their keywords.

Thanks Grant, it’ll be great to play someone that’s more of a challenge! The reason we chose a singular central pivot is so that it removes minute movements when moving any units. Keeping track of the central point of unit is also easier than wheeling units multiple times.

@@wipgamesandminiatures So you all went with slightly easier for play over more historically accurate. Deffinetly makes it esier for entry level players.

@@Wyndehurst_Productions that’s right, some formations like phalanx troops or more manoeuvrable units will have different mechanics to give more historical accuracy feel to the game.

@@wipgamesandminiatures that’s fair enough, I like the central pivoting mechanic.
