As Phil says you can use light to occupy the space on the flank.

other options are a Chionite ally gives a unit of decent cav or play the Kushites predecessors Greko-Bactrian which is a siliar army but can have drilled cataphracts.

We have also decided to leave the existing optional MF/HF status for thureophoroi etc and Roman auxilia.

Good news.

I think most people take shooty cav as those that can shoot so do not include Lt Sp/ sword who can't.

The previous answer appears to have not noticed that one of the rear bases is HF.
It is therefore a standard 4HF+2LF. Deployed as 3HF on the front rank and 1HF + 2LF on the rear rank.

The 2 LF on the rear would therefore provide 1 support shooting dice at impact if vs mounted as you lose one per ...

I agree with what Dave said, however, the front rank of the LF is placed just beyond the MF and therefore when they attempt to reform in the movement phase on the most advanced base the position they would take up is inside the MF and consequently I believe that in this situation they stay partially ...

The way I understand it the Ambush marker must be placed in a position where all the troop types in the ambush would not be visible. e.g. if its in brush all the BGs must be LF. However, when the ambush is revealed (bottom of page 143) a single base is placed upon the ambush marker and the BGs in ...

A further point is that as the LF in mixed BGs are not skirmishers even if the LF could charge them (i.e. they were in terrain) they wouldn't drop a cohesion level for it.

I agree that Later Ottoman Turk is one of the top armies on the tabletop. Infact I have ordered the figures for the army today.
As non-knightly lance is trumped by knightly lance and armoured janissaries are still less well armoured than heavily armoured Serb Kn neither of these changes would help ...

Pg140 "The placing player rolls to determine where on the table a piece is to be placed"
pg141 "3 = Touching a side edge or coast - opponent's half"

IMO - The dash between Touching a side edge or coast and opponent's half means these are seperate requirements. The argument then is whether opponent ...

That isn't correct. p132. The LF can still see out normally. They cannot be seen at over X" distance. If the LF choose to shoot they are revealed and visible to all.

Shooting is not optional. The LF therefore have to shoot which makes them visible.

Phils suggested definition:
There are any steady enemy battle troops or disrupted shock enemy battle troops who could make a legal flank or rear charge contact upon the testing BG if that enemy were to charge at the time of the test.

I had always assumed that could declare a charge meant you ...

Just to explain why the previous posters are asking if the LF are part of the same BG as the HF.

If they are a seperate BG just the right hand file would fight (at POAs vs the MF). It would get one dice as LF lose one dice per two vs the MF.

If they are part of the same BG as the HF the LF in the ...

If you use Veni Vidi Vici transfers you get 3 free 'V's per sheet of transfers (as the company name is on the transfer).

This has been covered previously on other threads.
It counts as a frontal charge so all 4 ranks fight.

Paul

Another way of looking at this is that you CANNOT intercept charge into someone's flank or rear, as it doesn't pass through their line of charge. So you could be 1 mm directly behind someone declaring a charge and you can't intercept them. You'd have to wait until your next bound to charge them ...

How would you treat three disrupted BG of LH shooting two target BGs such that each target had one full BG and half one other BG shooting at them?

Bullet 3 on page 93 says "if more than 1 BG is shooting at the same target add the total number of bases to which 1 per x reductions apply before ...

So the shooting of a 4 base BG of skirmishers is never affected by dissorder or disruption ??

Are you sure about that chaps.....

Sorry Hammy thats a bit cryptic for me.

The not reducing 2 disrupted units of LH is a common error, see Phils comment on the other shooting thread which I think is ...

I think the full answer to the original query is

The LF unit A if not disrupted would have 2 dice on A and 1 on B.
However, as it is disrupted it loses a dice. It must lose one of the dice on A therefore it has one dice on A and one dice on B.
LH1 has 2 dice which while disrupted are not reduced ...

The LF unit A if not disrupted would have 2 dice on A and 1 on B.
However, as it is disrupted it loses a dice. It must lose one of the dice on A therefore it has one dice on A.

Obviously these are just my opinions

6 x Agema (you want them in BGs of 4 so probably only want 4)
24 x Pikes (arguments either way personally I would go for 3 BG's)
6 x Thureophoroi (prefer thorakitai)
6 x LW with bow (poor) (I would take 8 poor sling (16pts) over 6 poor bow (18pts))
