The server obviously went down on Saturday the 20th of December. Many articles and posts have been lost. Please look in the War Room and Library. There were several new articles posted over the weekend. These include:

The Empire: A Tactical Overview- Adrian Hirst

'ear the call of battle! by Mark

I really enjoyed reading the article on mounted characters in foot units. And it gave me some good ideas  

But I believe there is a rather big mistake in the article: the author refers several times to "having a better chance to accomplish my armour/ward save thanks to the re-rolls of the 2nd Sign of Amul". This is impossible! As he was talking about enemy shooting (e.g. cannons), this is clearly done in the enemies player turn. And Your re-rolls obtained via the 2nd Sign of Amul are gone at the end of YOUR player turn. So You cannot help Your character survive enemy shooting thanks to 2nd sign re-rolls!
Sad, but true....

You are correct, I'll fix it.  The article was a post in the forum, and due to popular demand was lifted and pasted into the War Room.  That is also a common mistake.  I wish you could re-roll in their turn, it would be nice for that comet to land WHEN you want it too!
