Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

I apolagise in advance if this has been answered before, but I cant find it.

A chariot that has Bow armed crew qualifies as a "Missile troop" and therefore gets no free charge under " ...

if a shield wall gives a -2 and has a front rank armed with 2hcw it should see off normans (HC) bya fine margin (normans 20 vs foot 21). A jls armed shield wall is still in trouble. Againts heavier ca ...

I've been thinking about shooting from and at a shield wall.

Presumably it would be quite hard for the front rank of a shield wall to shoot (im thinking of the numerous viking double armed archers ...

1) I'm not sure any sort of lance armed cav needs any help, Norman or not.

2)The JLS armed can are perhaps more entitled to feel hard done by. Mayble let some 3 to a base jls armed cav fight 1 1/3 ...

The list I used was as follows:

3 units 4horse HCH (each of 3 chariots, with a general)

3 units 2horse HCH (also 3 per unit)

2 units 32 "IC" MI LTS 1/2 SH

1 unit 24 "IC" ...

This is a tough army i've fought on an ...

I have used shang quite a bit. I use the chariots (without detatcments) in 3 element units. I find against anything on a horse with a lance you are pretty much indestructable as long as the cav are i ...

Thanks for the mention siwardrocks.
I certainly enjoyed the mass slaughter of both sides against the early burgundian.
With regards to winning a comp with Later Hoplites I should probably point ou ...

Thanks gentlemen. I was considering Early Achaemenid persian for the weekend. I didnt think we were using the new rules anyway as many are yet to receive them (myself included)

Thanks

I realise this came up about a year ago (in a post by Greg Preston) but dont believe it was finally resolved. The rules state that camels with lance only fight in a single rank. Back in 2005 John clea ...

I was recently writing a variety of cataphract lists including northern southern chinese (OW17). The notes for this list suggest that the Tuboa are in fact Xian Bei. They are not however described as ...
