Terrain significance

Just had a great MP game v Malkosant from The French Riverra, that made me enviuous for a start.

A real turning point in the battle was that he put a unit of fanatics lvl 8 (he was Celts) Through a patch of boggy ground

I had a low level velite lvl2 and an auxillai lvl 2 protcecting this flank. He eventually broke them but they had weakened
the fanatics, one of his main units sufficiently that I got them with two units of Hastati.

My light troops held his attack of long enough to allow me to inflict sufficient dammage to break his army

Had the Fanatics made it through the bog I was toast. It was a very close finish

Good old Boggy Ground worth two extar units )

Absolutely. As a number of people can attest, warriors will cut almost anything to peices in bogs or forests- even those fanatics you are trying to sneak through! And peasents makle great bait for pulling principe into bogs where they can be bush-whacked with great force.

Warriors are deadly in a river, too.

In my copy, it just calls rivers "boggy ground" I wonder if there is a difference between that and others? But yeah, they are nasty in rivers.

[Redpossum]

No, mine says boggy ground also
