Bumping this topic.

Does anyone have any idea as to the answer? Has this come up among our French comrades?

I guess I'm wondering why 3 wouldn't align corner-to-corner with C?

I'm pretty sure that's what would happen (and Unit 4 gets shoved even further out of the way). When we played, I didn't have the ...

A follow up: what would happen if Units C & D are like 2mm to the right? Therefore Unit 3 couldn't touch their corner as part of the charge. Does Unit 3 still charge Unit C, by essentially &quo ...

Had a situation come up in our game that we couldn't answer. Here's a picture of where things started:

My bad. Should've checked the FAQ. Thanks!

So a HI unit with two handed weapon fight a heavy lancer.

I'm assuming when you say "lancer" you mean spearmen or pikemen? Lancer in English connotes guys on horses with lances (i.e. Cav ...

Bumping this one to see if I can get a reply.

In my opinion, it does not. The English translation uses i.e., which means that th ...

Two-handed weapons provides the following benefits:
A) +1 to the die roll if you win

B) +1 to the die roll if you tie vs spearmen/pikemen

Furthermore, the rules say "In game terms the addi ...

What counts for the requirement that half of the units be Indian units? Obviously anything with the word Indian in the title, but what about the Elite Elephants? Do the mixed units still count as I ...

A unit of Heavy Spearmen is charged on the front by Heavy Cavalry (with Impact) and on the flank by a unit of Light Cavalry.

As per page 57, the Spearmen do not get impact because they are charge ...

Its too bad, because those factors make Medium Spear very Master of None.

This I agree with and on my relatively limited playing so far I am particularly dubious about any Medium Spearmen improved ...

Didn't say it contradicted. Said it was a bit confusing. Wink

Especially for a newbie reading the rules. You'll note I never said anyone was wrong. Rather I was asking for the location of t ...

The part that was confusing was that the Heavy Spearmen entry specifically stated they get the impact when frontally charged by mounted. The Medium Spearmen entry doesn't have that phrase.

But I s ...
