Battle wagons
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:02 pm
I don't know if this is a bug or the game manual is just out-of-date. When determining the number of shooting dice for a battle wagon with crossbows the manual says 3 but in game while I was playing with the Hussites I noticed that they only got 2 dice in open terrain. This was the same for the artilley version of the battle wagon. Below I've inserted the rules from the game manual. Please clarify as this has a huge impact upon the quality of the wagons.
