Trojan War

Post by vodnik » Sun Dec 15, 2024 5:07 pm

...last week we wanted to decide the Trojan War:

...both battles were won by the Achaeans, just like the real thing. Both armies consisted of 16 units, including 4 battle taxis, or simply junk. Every Trojan army must have at least 2 of these, but no more than 4. Since the battle taxi only costs 3 points, it can easily be replaced by more infantry, since light or heavy infantry also only costs 3 points...
...why are the Achaeans allowed to have a fortified camp but the Trojans are not???

Because the Achaeans created a fortified camp?

If you're referring to the siege of Troy, that's good evidence for the Achaeans creating a fortified camp (there were battles where their camp was assaulted) -- and Troy itself is a city (and unassailable within a single battle, or if you believe Homer, unassailable within 10 years of battles) and so not evidence for the Trojans doing it in that siege.
