Simple question on Army Lists

[Count dTen]

And an apology, since I have not been able to find the answer elsewhere...

When looking at a list such as the Wars of Religion 30YW French list on page 61, under "Petits Vieux and new infantry":

I find 2 exactly similar cases, Medium Foot, Unarmored, Average, Musket*, Impact Foot -

and I find that one line is 8 points per base, and the second line is 7 points per base,

what am I missing?

The 8 points per base is for Shot in a mixed battle group with pike, the 7 is for shot is a BG on it's own. Page 187 of the main rules IIRC.

Couldn't find it on that page, timmy1, but I'll happily take the word of a Major-General in an Elite Tiger I for it. Thank you,

It's similar to not having to pay for Bayonet in mixed formations, but having to pay for it if you don't have Pike.

Essentially, it's a way of making you pay for the benefit of being tougher than a similarly (but different formation) troop type.

Tim may be an Elite Tiger but he misremembered the page!

It's P189 in the column labelled "Combat capabilities and other attributes".

Wow, an Elite Tiger shot down by a mere Panther D

Only another 1300 more posts Kevin and you too can be an Elite Tiger!

Don (a mere Kavalarie)

That's only another 6 years at my current rate!

Kevin's add value...

Meh - the Tiger probably broke down before it entered combat

Gee, I wonder how you guys make so many posts...
