Re: Charge Through Battlecard Query

Useful to know. So much more strategy in these rules than meets the eye.
Bye for now and thanks again for your great feedback.

Re: Charge Through Battlecard Query

Thank you David.

That clears it up.

Rather risky I think, as there is no 'Recoil Through' (the Close Foot again) for Knights who've been beaten. Will take some careful planning.

Charge Through Battlecard Query

Re: Charge Through. (A) "1 point for each battle card; up to a maximum of 2x" Is the 1 point cost for individual stands (i.e. 1 point/stand) or for all stands of that type? (B)"The battle card is expended when used and may not be used again." If for all Stands then if I purchase x2, can one 'Charge...

Re: Battle in a Zip File - Irish Epic

Thanks for this. I'm currently trying to create a 'Celtic Mythology' army out of my Gallic & British. Your Army List is especially helpful to give me ideas.

Re: Ancient British BC9 DISMOUNTING MID-BATTLE? Battle Card

Just one more query on this topic... In 'Dismounting at Deployment' there is still 1 point needed. Why? All that seems to happen is at deployment 2 BTaxis are replaced by 2 Warriors. Is it having the ability to choose one or the other, depending on terrain, opponent etc the advantage to justify this...

Ancient British BC9 DISMOUNTING MID-BATTLE? Battle Card

I see Ancient British Battle Taxis only have the BC8 'Dismounting at Deployment' Battlecard.' Would not the BC9 'Dismounting Mid-Battle' Battle Card also be applicable? (even if Warband instead of Warriors were used?) As far as I've read they used the Battle-Taxi as a means to get their foot troops ...

Re: Parthian cataphract camels

Yes good point re: Skythed Chariots. I put the stand on when generating the Battlecard and off again. Pretty 'hit and miss' troop type. (More 'miss,' although I once won a DBM tournament game with them) Many thanks for your prompt, well described, response. Here's Skyth Chariot which just happens to...

Re: Parthian cataphract camels

David, Re: 2nd Question. I wondered if they only appear on table (as do say, Skythed Chariots) on using a Battlecard. But I get it now. Move/Fight as Cataphract but with, as you say below. I'll drag out the old Armored camel model and maybe add to the Parthians. (& hope for dunes/oasis.;) Also will ...

Re: Parthian cataphract camels

Coming across this topic I've just realized that just maybe, I can now include one of my Armored Camelry stands in the Parthian army. Is this correct and if I include it, I see the Battlecard says -1 on close combat, but what are the initial factors vs foot & mounted? And how fast do they move? Are ...
