Hi all,

Planning to start a Moghul army and was wondering what could be good number of elephants
to buy/paint.
Was thinking of 6(2*3) or 9(3*3) does it sound reasonable?

OK, there is no list available yet, however, 6 is probably a safe number to get.

Caveat - between now and list publication anything could change.

Also note that to date - the ancient/medieval rules that is - elephants have only ever been in BGs of 2 bases. Again there is no guarantee that this will be the case when FoG:R is published.

Thanks Nik, that'll do for a start

And what about camels with rockets?

Some

Yes!! Perfect!!!

Hope my Indian wish list is also fulfilled
organ guns, light artillery on wagons
lots of skirmishing Poor LF to make jungles a misery
and plenty of impact swordsmen
also some upgrades for nellies
and some nice armoured cavalry superior rajput lancers

"and plenty of impact swordsmen "


Lots n lots of, I hope! Should be a fun army.

If the Moghuls can have Impact Swordsmen why not the Ottoman Janissaries.

the Mughals had some "warband" types e.g religious warriors, both Hindu and Muslim, Omani swordsmen, afghan/ pathan hill tribes, rohillas who are probablybest classified as
MF Unarm/ Prot Impact, swordsmen posibly Bw*. These troops were better than the usual peasants looking for off-season military employ. These "better" foot would look to get a charge in, I believe, to "rush" their oponents but lacked staying power

I think Janissaries "Impact" swordsmen is a good shout but only if they suffer a penalty to their shooting in some way
This would reflect a lack of western fire drills and a reliance to get in close but arguably grading them as swordsmen would give them a melee bonus against
"western" shot
I think that the Janissaries tended to be assault troops in the siege but on the battlefield they tended to holda defended position and apply the coup de grace to a worn out enemy
So on the battlefield perhaps they are not "Impact" swordsmen in that sense?

Hello spring,

First of all thanks for sharing moghul & elephants games. I like this game most because i have read a book titled Empire of the Moghul. Really nice book it was and your sound settings are perfect. Thanks to help me to remember my past reading hobby.

You're welcome godzila
