the xyston macedonian archers have hats. their cretans have natty head bands....

every game is a learning curve..!!

that's great thanks.

we just thought perhaps we'd missed something.

my cavalry will remember in future... finding a forest in the centre of the table and a byzantine army has a problem!!

dave.

not especially.

i just considerd the horse would charge the foot who evade to the forest and then the horse pull up perhaps 1MU before entering terrain unfavourable to them.

we could not decide ourselves on the outcome.

the cavalry were being pestered by bowmen so charged them. they evaded. then the variable charge was long so they would wind up in the forest. thus getting disordered..


so a cavalry group being shot at by the light foot in front of a forest can do little to get rid of them...

dave.

if a battle group of cavalry charge light foot who evade from open into terrain...in this case a forest... and cannot be caught, do the cavalry have to follow the full charge distance and therefore enter the terrain..

i can't find this in the rules. whereabouts is this covered??

thanks dave.
