The Chimera horse
Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2024 12:57 pm
This a modded version of the Greek armoured Cavalry (but could also apply to the Young Cavalry and the Veteran one btw), an hybrid of non-light Cavalry and light Horse. Thus, chimeric in FoG2 world 
It is a non-light cav that can throw javelins and move backwards a bit.
Not as agile as the Light Javelin Horse but stronger.
Meant to be used in lieu of both the Greek armoured Cavalry and the Light Javelin Horse of the Greek lists.
It remains to fix the price.
Interesting and fun ! Test it.
