Light Horse Lancers

Post by david53 »

Hi There
If two BGs LH fought an Impact and the Bow/Sword BG lost to the Lanacer/Sword armed LH BG. Would the losers get an extra minus for losing to Lancers?

Err, yes. Why would you ever thing that having lost to lancers was not the same as having lost to lancers ;)

Cause LH Lancers don't count as Shock but yes I did think it was a minus and just felt like confirming it. :)

The minus is for fighting lancers in the open. Nothing to do with shock.

One thing people miss is that light horse lancers don't get a POA or the CT penalty if they are fighting in uneven ground.

They don't get the POA, but terrain does not matter, even elephants in forest losing to lancers in impact would take a minus on the cohesion test.

That's my understanding too... the CT penalty doesn't say only against lancers in the open, only losing against lancers.

:oops: removes foot from mouth :oops:

Sorry, my bad memory and all that. The CT does indeed apply all the time but the POA only counts in the open.
