Correct. The tactical markers are an indication of the tactics to follow to maximize points, and stick to the historical flow. The laager was always a last line of defense when everything else has collapsed, unlike the Hussite wagons that were part of the tactical set up. It’s always helpful to play a hot seat game (human self vs human self) to test out unusual tactics.Edmund_Blackadder wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 11:42 am The key decision for the Pechnegs seems to be whether to send their horsemen forwards and use them as melee cavalry or to fall back and use them as horse archers. They are supposed to be horse archers and part of the laager counts as good defensive foot, so falling back looks logical. But the scenario makes a defensive win very difficult for the Pechnegs as it requires them to rout about 20 enemy units, whereas if they forget their bows and charge, they can pick up most of the 24 points on offer from the "tactical markers" and then rely on their swordsmen skill to counter the Byzantine armour.
