I was fortunate against the Khmer for sure, 16 elephants is no kind of favorable matchup for a knight army. I actually had some decent shooting, but Khmer are very resistant to that.

I think have the HC etc. cancel the LC/LI charge is the best way to play this. It's clear to all. If the HC don't charge, then the lights drop the minimum elments to miss any illegal targets and then ... |

To "Red Team" this a bit, I try to make the less flexible IrrD MC and LC units my target. If you charge the LC, they pretty much have to evade and that then clears a wide stretch of frontage ... |

I think the idea of a seperate Warrior spring event is a good one. I might suggest something closer to the NYC/New England area based on proximity to people and airports. With the convention and usua ... |

Coming out of the corner is not ideal, as your line almost by definition has a hinge someplace where you will be at a disadvantage. Making people think more about how they are going to hold space is t ... |

Not specifically related to this mini thread, but I'm in favor of cutting the points down to 1200/1500/1800 on the same table sizes. Makes the games go a little faster, and makes things less congested ... |

I think Irr A knights are generally a good thing to have, but you want 1 or 2 units of B's to be up toward the front without having to charge impetuous. The A's can generate the 3 CPF to break stuff i ... |

How about a unit or 2 of knights as 2E EHK, L, Sh IrrA backed by 2E HC, L, B, Sh IrrB? Against elephants they could dismount with the (now 1E) of HI, LTS, B, Sh in front backed by 2E of Irr A EHI, JLS ... |
