Can I game Field of Glory?

[ochoin]

The obvious re-joinder is why would I want to but I'll ignore that.

I have been on a kick for the past 12 months on the Late Antiquity period. You noticed??
In that time, I've created Late Roman & Hun-Goth armies of approaching 30 units a side.
These figures have been individually mounted & placed in bespoke movement trays.


The infantry are mostly in 8-10 figure units, the mounted in 8-10 figure units.
To use them, I've developed my own rules.

However, my little group are long term FoG players (Bronze Age, Punic & ECW periods). One of my pals asked if we could use my Late Antiquity figures in an FoG game.....without re-basing or reorganisation.

I've got a copy of the FoG army book - Legions Triumphant. I can easily make up "legal" armies in the right proportions.
Instead of 4-6 base units for example, could I fudge a game with 2 figures representing a FoG base?

I've looked through the rules & I think so. Some of the movement & manoeuvring might need a little finessing but I think could work. Am I missing something? Keep in mind this wouldn't be some tournament game but a battle between consenting adults who never got riled by wargames & wargames' rules.

Comments & helpful suggestions welcome.

Whilst I know that the FoG:R rules* use the number of figures per base to define certain types of unit, provided you can recognise what is what (eg by figure type or weaponry) then as long as everything is the same for both sides, I don't think it matters.

(* I've only ever played one "big FoG:AM" game and frankly it was a bit of a blur - are they the same in this respect? )
