iversonjm has won the 2nd KO tournament!

I agree with Ianiow on regards the free LF shooting capabilty. They can almost beat heavy Superior Cavalry those bastards if charged
Same cost with or without the LF support is ridiculous. No one will pick the ones who can not shoot.

Cheers!

This is one of those instances where a half point option would be useful, as the RR LF are useless in a lot of circumstances and against a lot of opponents, but very useful against a few opponents (protected lancers in the open in particular). Certainly the ability to shoot 1 die in missile fire should go away. That's just gratuitous. Also, in TT there are disadvantages to having RR LF (you lose your armor when shot at in the rear and when charged in the rear the LF end up fighting in the front rank) that don't carry over to PC.

tell me about that. i had a dailami army where i wanted them, on flat terrain. numerous armoured lancers charges failed because the dailamis had those 2 extra rolls. some units sustained 25% casualties, remind me of that one time against a mass of superior nubian archers....

by the way the same can be said of arab conquest heavy foot. free archers. another cavalry killer.

like i said before, matchups and terrain are too much of a factor in these tournaments; i reckon at least 70% of my games are won or lost because of them. against competent players, unless you curl up in a ball in a corner, and even that, you're doomed from the start.

Sometimes I also think if the BG with LF Archers as support shouldnt roll only 1 dice when charged by Cavalry. That is the number of dice they roll when they do normal shooting.

Leave the 2 dice of support when charging by Cav to the BG's that have MF as support.
Do you remember those HF Def sprs supported by MF archers? Pretty useless right now. Only cancelling some enemies POA'S is almost a certain death

Cheers!

If you look at the post above yours you will see a link to The Slitherine Trophy. Recruitment is now full but we still have some reserve spaces left. This is in case one or two players fail to start their first round matches on time. So you could still put your name down with a 350 point army and you might get a chance to play. We will be sending an invitation to you to join the FOG Digital League by "private message" (see "new messages" under "Latest Releases" at the top of the screen) in about a week's time. I remember the matches we had together a few months ago and you will do very well in our competitions.
