French Wars of Religion - Catholic

Post by rbodleyscott »

Problem:

You cannot have fully armoured horse. We agreed that there wouldn’t be any, and hence they are not in the points table.

(Though I guess we could make an exception if you consider them vital, but would need to explain this in the troop notes to stop people thinking it is a typo)

Good catch - I'd drafted this list before we decided that :shock:

Make them Heavily Armoured and change the Troop Note that says:
Whilst Catholic gendarmes were usually outclassed by their Huguenot counterparts, a small number of companies were still made up mainly of nobles and may well have still been equipped with significant amounts of horse barding, which was no longer usually extensively used.

The original bit about horse armour was pretty speculative anyway.
