Hi everyone

Is there are a problem with the Bosporans (Mid)

In my current game most of my medium foot look like light foot and vice versa.

The xml files for both the early and mid Bosporan lists are badly mangled in 1.3.0 so need to be fixed.

If only the Bosporans could be so easily mangled on the battlefield

Yes, a fleeting chance to defeat the Horde!

Can some one send me a mangled DAG army so we can test it. Thanks Keith (keith@hexwar.com)

I've got a game in progress now Keith.

What do you need me to do?

One army coming up.

Can someone direct me to where the DAG is explained? Specifically, what do the letters do next to the names... I'm looking at the Alexandrian Macedonian list, and there's an S next to two units, and when I roll my mouse over them the weapon-loadout changes. However, I can't click on it, so as soon as I move the mouse away it reverts back...

I would like to add this is not explained in the DAG explanation included in the help section.

An S indicates a unit that can deploy two ways at the start of a game. Right clicking on the unit when deploying it will allow you to use the alternative troop type when deploying it. The most common case of this is for mounted troops that can optionally deploy dismounted at the start of a battle. Mousing over the S will show you the alternate troop type that this line can deploy as. e.g. heavily armoured knights with lance, sword can often deploy dismounted as heavily armourmed HF, heavy weapon. In the Macedonian list, the HF armed with pikes also have the option to deploy as MF, light spear, sword. This represents the flexibility the Madcedonian infantry displayed under Alexander where the hypaspists and pezhetairoi were used in the phalanx on the battlefield but were also used when assaulting fortifications or in difficult terrain such as the pass known as the Persian Gates or when assaulting hill top forts in the Hindu Kush.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now if only that was in the help section for the DAG
