One of the most played “ancient” and “medieval” ruleset, L’Art De La Guerre (ADG), is getting a new version later this month. Easy to play but deep and difficult to master, ADG has a very well-written (and well translated in English, Italian, Spanish, and French) manual, with a lot of examples that clarify almost all situations.

Most players use 15mm armies, but you can play also with 6mm or 28mm. The already good and smooth rules now get an improvement, made listening to the feedback from players all around the world. NoDiceNoGlory didn’t miss the opportunity to sit down with the author and have a chat about the incoming changes. Who better than the author, Hervé Caille, can explain the new changes? 

First, things firsts: you can find info about L’Art De La Guerre on the official site: . This is the main resource to find news and advice on how to play the game, or the preorder the ruleset of the new V4 version, which will be available later in April. If you live in Europe, you can preorder the ruleset also on

Phil and I sit down with the prolific game designer Herman Luttmann. We talk about his latest game “A Most Fearful Sacrifice”, game design and all of his amazing previous titles.

Since arrived, we’ve seen four new books coming in place of the “old” (still valid) ones. Every new book has some sort of new equipment (as the BMP3 for the Soviets or the Warrior for the British), maybe some new formations (like the Gebirgsjager Brigade for Germans). But the new leading stars are definitely the new super heavy tanks. Each of the four new books has a new super-tank we can field, with armor so strong they can face almost any unfriendly attention without worrying to be killed. Are they worth their price?

One of the joys and pitfalls of moving into a new area, and joining a new gaming group is that many of the local players in the new area already have their army builds done. When I lived in Southern California, there were a mix of players and armies. In my regular gaming group, no one was playing British, so I picked it up to compliment my US and my German Armies.

But, when I returned to North East Indiana in the States, and looked up the local crew, the most popular nation to play in the new local gaming group is… yep, British of one flavour or another.

What was I to do? Americans are the vanilla “easy mode” according to the Juggernauts. In my 15mm WWII wargaming days, I began with Americans and soon tired of them. Germans are definitely challenging. And with my grandmothers coming from lineages of Kaiser and Sigsbee surnames on one side, and Bechtel on the other side of the family, the German army seems like a good fit for me. So far, though, my interest in all things German seems limited to the DAK.

Well, when I played Warhammer Fantasy, I loved the horde armies of the goblins. Guess I should look at… The Soviets?

Sometime back in the mid 1980s, I went to my friend Stephen’s house for the weekend. He was one of the first people who had a personal computer. On it he had a game called War in Russia. It covered the Eastern Front in its entirety, and between the two of us, we spent hours on it, using its now quite-dated graphics. We were not strangers to games on this level; however, the designer, Gary Grigsby, found a way to have the battles resolved down to the lowest levels.

The next new army book for has made it to our bunker in West Virginia and it is called WWIII West Germans, which will upgrade your FRG force to the same V2 standard we saw for the US, USSR, and the British. WWIII West Germans provides you with a single sourcebook for all of the West German forces in Team Yankee, this combines the inaugural book Leopard and Panzertruppen booklet with six new exciting formations. The book also provides some tweaks to the majority of the legacy formations and their respective units in them. If you have been waiting for the next Generation of Leopard-2 tanks and Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles you will not be disappointed.

The backbone of the World War Two Romanian army was the humble riflemen. Romania lacked the quality and quantity in armor of their German or Soviet peers and the heavy artillery that rained destruction on their victims on the Eastern Front was sorely lacking in Romanian arsenals. Without powerful armor formations or heavy guns the Romanian military was forced to rely on manpower rather than firepower.

The average Romanian rifleman was equipped in fairly simple, but functional, gear. Color photographs of Romanians from the war are hard to come by but illustrations from Osprey Publishing and photographs of contemporary reenactors helped to guide my color choices. The Romanian soldier wore a cotton tunic during the summer which bleached in the sun. During the winter the Romanian soldier wore woolen tunics which retained their darker khaki color. Woolen trousers were worn year round and maintained their color like the woolen tunic.
