Anomaly: Bow*

Post by rbodleyscott »

Troops with Bow* capability should only get 2 dice when shooting - they are supposed to have less firepower than full Bow capability. At present Bow* Cavalry have 3 dice, the same as Bow.

At present Rhoxolani (Sarmatian) cavalry in the Pontic army, which have Bow* capability, shoot as if they have Bow capability, but are 1 point cheaper than if they did. Also, it is a principle of the FOG TT lists that no non-light troops get a full capability in all three of shooting, impact and melee - our view is that in practice (however they were equipped) no troops were that versatile in the real historical world.

(I am cutting off my nose to spite my face here, as Pontic is my favourite FOGPC army).

One of my favorites too--couldn't this have been our little secret? (not that I even knew about it)

Well I think they would still be pretty good value even with only 2 shooting dice.

Unfortunately this didn't seem enough to help my Pontics against your Bosporans. I thought I noticed this was the case but hadn't re-checked it yet.
