We had the following come up in a game at Historicon
X=MF Crossbows
B= MF Bows
C=Target BG 1
D= Target BG 2
Bows are shooting down the page

So we have two BGs of 6 one of Xbows and one of bows shooting.
Each shooting BG throws 4 dice on their own and has a "odd" rear rank guy throwing a half a dice. Can these be combined and if so what factors do they use and what target do they shoot at?
Would the answer be different if the shooters were all a single troop type?
What if the target was all one BG?

You calculate shooting dice by target BG not by shooting BG.
Where you have a shooting dice generated by troops with differing qualities or POAs you always count the lesser quality or POA.
I had a quick look in the rules to see if I could find this but failed. I am sure I have read it somewhere but I am b*gg*r*d if I can find it again.

Re: Multiple BGs Shooting
Those bases are shooting at differet target BGs so they cannot be combined.ethan wrote:We had the following come up in a game at Historicon

Yes, then they can be combined and use the worst POA.What if the target was all one BG?
See pages 93-94.
