Uses of Tartschier

[phlewis]

The Tartschier troop type in the 30YW German Catholic list looks interesting. What would you use it for and would you run them as Medium or Heavy foot?

[hazelbark]

I've concluded it is MF for terrain clearing. But have ended up not using them.

[jonphilp]

As heavy infantry they can support/defend artillery especially in a fortification. Only for a high points game.

[phlewis]

That is what I was afraid of. They looked interesting but probably not an efficient place to spend the points.

[Custor]

Flavour, uniquness, quirk, fun. All reasons to get them in. Unless all you intend to do is play comps...Don't choose safe, choose fun.

MF version.

I'll admit I also have 'Poor war wagons Bow' in my Indian army for fun factor too, they've not fired once yet in three games...but they will and it will be memorable - even for doing nothing!

[deadtorius]

I have run them as MF it gets them through stuff easier. Unfortunately they haven't ever made it as an overlap, and they are enemy cavalry bait. Still I like having them about.

[tamerlan]

I have not yet use them, but I think that they would make fine and cheap support in a 4 base unit behind a line of pike and shot units
