Armoured or Heavily Armoured?

[BlackPrince]

I am putting together a later Crusader army and I have been looking at what options to use for my crunch troops the first option is;

4xKn Hvy Arm Drilled sup etc
4xkn Hvy Arm Drilled sup etc
4xKn Hvy Arm undrill sup etc
4xcav prot undrill lt ave lt sp

But if I am not not facing off agianst lots of armies with Heavily Armoured knights may be I should look at armoured?

4xKn Arm Drilled sup etc
4xKn Arm Drilled sup etc
4xKn Arm Drilled sup etc
4xKn Arm undrill sup etc

The glue is basically the same in both armies it is down to do I want 4 BGs of Knights or not what do other players think?

depends if you are likely to meet armoured spearmen or longbows,lots of bow, armoured cavarly.

of so - you really need heavy armour

- you will die in seconds to longbow
- you are goind to get beaten even by disrupted srmoured spearmen
- you will be shot apart by horse archers
- you will be flank charged by armoured cav


With HA knights you can wave a flank at horse archers and go 'ooooh, charge me' and then chop them up with your extra dice on a + in melee
with armoured knights thats suicide

on the other had it might tempt some of those horse archers to go toe to toe which would be a good thing for you, as you cant take their shooting

Go with HA being superior when facing Longbows even if disrupted before charging in your still on a double plus at impact anda plus in Melee.

HA is much better against shooting and in melee.
