Tip: The Art of Placement

Here's my mage-only battle formation. This is for when the enemy is using supercombatants or other mage-only armies in which normal units would die in seconds.

In reply to the American Football comparison with Rugby....

As a Linebacker in college and a Flanker in Rugby at the present I would like to submit this comparison I have heard before.

Soccer...A gentlemens sport played by Ruffians

Rugby....A Ruffians sport played by Gentlemen

American football...A Ruffians sport played by Ruffians

Having no foot skills of my own I can't answer for soccer, but after playing American Football for 12 years and Rugby for almost 30 years (sigh...yes I am that old), I prefer to play the Grand 'ol' hybrid game of THUGBY or "Hit to Kill" and run faster than the opponent!!

Hmm, I think cavalry flanking with 'attack rear' orders might cause some problems, unless the mages retreated quickly.

Well, as for the American football analogy, I can only say that if you are facing 300 pound monsters that have used steroids and hgh growth hormone for the last 10 to 15 years, I think I would want to have on as much pads/armor as possible.

I don't know for how long rugby player will continue without protection : professional players have surprisingly enlarged those past years, and they are only getting bigger : must be what Darwin called natural evolution...
