Stakes Working Correctly?

Post by Blathergut »

The longbows on the flank of the knights:

A. Are getting +1 for flank, +1 for uphill....should there not be +1 for the stakes?

B. The MF took a -1 vs mounted in open...should stakes not count as not in clear?

For A, uphill or defending fortifications is the same +1 POA.

B sounds like a bug.

Sure its a Bug? After all the archers are Meleeing into the flank of the knight....
Wouldnt they be leaving their stakes to do so?

Looking at the TT charts, I don't think this would negate the stakes. But since they already get the +1 POA for being uphill, the stakes have no additional effect in this situation. The knights presumably initially charged into the position adjacent to the MF with the stakes since the MF should not be able to charge taking their deployed stakes with them. In this case the "flank" facing of the knights is an artifact of the hex grid and the specific BG they initially charged. On the TT I suspect this would look more like the knights charging into a segment of a continuous line of enemy foot and the archers that are "flanking" in FoG PC would be fight as an overlap on the TT. There was no active movement by the archers on the "flank" to get into contact so they are still "defending".

Use the "U" sort cut to bring up the summary display. This is the black window in the lower left corner. Check the help entry for "keyboard shortcuts" for a full list of what is available.
