Biblical

The latest version of Biblical Warrior is available as a downloadable PDF file only. The playtest version is available HERE. After Historicon 2008, a completed version will be posted and available for $5. We will update the sales page accordingly at that time.

The info below applies to the old version of Biblical Warrior which will NOT be allowed for use at the Chariot Theme at Historicon 2008.

Any updates or corrections are shown under the specific list. Lines refer to the line starting underneath the list and also reference a complete entry, not just a carryover from a previous line. For example, under List 1, Line 1 refers to "CinC with JLS....." whereas Line 2 refers to "Sub-general with JLS...".

Global Change: General Concepts (page 4): Delete the fourth paragraph and replace with the following:

"Generals' elements may be in a mixed unit with troops of the same Training (Warrior 2.1) and Order (Warrior 2.21), and in addition Knights, Cavalry, and Camelry can only be mixed with troops in the same Troop Category (Warrior 2.23) and Elephantry, Chariotry and Transport can only be mixed with troops of the same Troop Type (Warrior 2.22), except where an army list specifies that such troops can mix with others in this list. Being "Mounted" does not count as being in the same "Category" for these purposes. A general's element in a mixed unit does not prevent troops otherwise entitled under a list rule from fighting 1.5 ranks, provided the general's element is of the same nationality and armed the same as those troops. A general's element can be included in a detachment only as specified by a list. Generals' elements do NOT count toward the minimum or maximum of any troop line in a list except their own. Generals' elements count toward fractional or other numerical limits in a list only when they are part of a unit."

GLOBAL CHANGE: There is no command factor limit on the number of units or detachments in any army; allowable detachments are still determined by the command point lines in each list.

GENERAL CONCEPTS: You have the option of using figures listed as LI "runners" or "chariot escorts" on the same base as the chariot in the same way the main rules allow it for elephants. The following apply if you chose to do this:
1) The figures would cost 5 or 6 points (depending on if they are Reg or Irr) each to place on the base as they would for elephants; you must put two figures per chariot base or none.
2) The chariot base is then a "foot" troop type ONLY for the purposes of approach precedence and movement (can't roll up on a charge, pursuit, etc.).
3) The chariot base is subject to 2FP per CPF in hand to hand if the foot is Irr.
4) The chariot base counts 2 additional figures for CPF per chariot base so constructed (10.3).
5) The LI on the base cannot fight in H-T-H but can shoot as if a second rank.
