Polearms in BFaS - visualization
Spears, pikes, lances... so many of them that sometimes it's hard to remember what size is needed in Your army. In order to help with that we've prepared visualization of different polearms used in BFaS. It's part of our long term project to translate into English all materials available currently in Polish. You can download pdf from our website.
Hopefully it may be useful for all players during modelling process.

Disce puer latine...
Recently it came to our attention that we really need to learn Latin. You may ask why? Well… it seems that we made mistake in name of one of Special Rules in Swedish army. On p. 287 of Polish rulebook/p. 291 of English rulebook You can find rule called ‘Bellum se ipse allet’. Problem is, that correct version of this phrase is ‘Bellum se ipsum alet’. Michał ‘Kadrinazi’ Paradowski, who is in charge of checking historical accuracy of all names, was duly punished: demoted from colonel to private and he will be send to participate in next available forlorn hope. The fact that no one else noticed that error for so many years is not excuse… and we need scape goat anyway. So from now one, any new Swedish-related materials will have correct version as ‘Bellum se ipsum alet’.
