This gives you moral upgrades for your knights, a ton of Stratiot LC to go
with the six stands of Turks, and the Neo Moogs.
>Interesting, expensive, kinda, but very interesting. I think what might drive
some people away would be the Reg C EHK/SHK (you would now be fielding 6
elements of those not counting any you might have stuck with the CinC/Ally)
plus, I've yet to see tons of LC Lancers deployed (the Stradiots). I mean
assuming they're facing the equivalent "Full Service" LC unit (LC JLS, B, Sh).
Take the following example:
6E Full Service LC is 80p away from our 6E of Stradiots. Full Service is gonna
shoot 12@3 in prep at Stradiots. Even with a down 1 roll, the Stradiots are
gonna take the waver test if they want to charge. Obviously if they're outside
of 80p, they don't get hammered by the prep shot but obviously can't be more
than 120p away otherwise what you're hoping to accomplish, the Full Service
evade and roll down while your Stradiots charge and roll up and whammo, no more
Full Service LC unit. The approach/counter sequence then becomes crucial for
either player to get what they want.
>Now, some people (like me) would probably potentially take the waver test when
running the Stradiots (assuming they're not uneasy) since we'd blow the test on
a 1 and anyone who rolls ones deserves to lose. However, that philosophy is not
one shared by all players who consider rolling *any* waver test an anethema to
succesfully prosecuting the battle. Therefore, they might not look upon the
Stradiots as a particularly useful troop type.

When I buy B morale LC it is only because I WILL take that waver.

The only medieval FW I have in 25mm is teuts, but better that than Han for
matchup. This will be great dave - looking forward to it.

I like LC with JLS - but only if I am going to split the other guy's LC B
shooting and then charge and kill it as opposed to a simple LC, B skirmish
game myself. If he is forced to an evade, you don't need the JLS - but by
having it you discourage him trying the same thing.

Page 61, line 7, upgrade for [Mi, Pa, VG, VI].
Stratiots may also be purchased with JLS, Sh, and it is very difficult in a LC
vs. LC matchup to keep the enemy from getting to 40p.
Sure, you can buy them with lance, take tests and charge, but the question
begs asking ... Are you buying them to win the battle, or to stretch your
frontage
enough to make the enemy go online, so you can get nice matchups with your
better troops?
>I found this interesting since most players turn their nose up at LC with JLS.
That's why, like Dave, I enjoy army discussions of this ilk, particularly when
somebody like Sean goes into gory detail on list construction and useage.

Oh Gawd ... it's the Vulcan Death Grip for me now!!!!
~points at Scott~ He said something about Feudal first ... so if you kill me,
you gotta hill him first.
You are right of course Jon ... and my apologies!!!
>Actually, no *sounding like Baldrick* "we had a cunning plan". You see, we
find a patsy (David) to seemingly raise innocent questions about a list that
just *happens* to be in FeudWar. Then we *leak* bits of the list, in reference
only never anything coming close to the entire list, so that people get whipped
up into a state of frenzy where they want not just one copy but several!
>That's my story and I'm sticking to it:) :)
