Swedish feathers

Post by rbodleyscott »

You have these only covering the front of the shot.

While this may be strictly historically accurate, it has the odd effect of making the shot fight at a higher factor vs enemy mounted than the pikes do.

A better top-down solution might be to cover the whole front of the BG – as per the restoration Portuguese.

I'm happy to make that change :D

"Half the bases" won't give the right results for Later Tercios or Swedish brigades.

I suggest:

"“Swedish feathers” to cover 3 files of each infantry regiment"
