Sa costs the same as htw,costs the same as 2hcw,costs the same as lts
etc.Some of these weapons have different effects yet still come free of
charge,like the humble pocket knife,as long as thats all you are armed
with.Why is 2hct penalised?It's a 2hcw with a -1.P and lts get a -2 yet cost
no more.My advice,my plea,dump the extra point.Please.
Thought 2; 2hct is described as a combination 2hcw and lts.Indeed that is
the (weak) reason for the extra point.Try this out,it works ok we think....
count as 2hcw when charging,usual deal,front rank only,shieldless after 2nd
round etc.When recieving a charge count as lts,rank and a half,etc.If
disordered (2nd round or at contact) count as shieldless 2hcw.Personally I
can just about live with the extra point in this case.

I second this whole heartedly, it almost goes to the same arguments as to
which armies can wedge testudo etc. I wish my Scots had pike instead of LTS,
By Flodden they did, but not in the current lists. I rarely play knight
armies, and only have a hand full of 2HCT armed troops (like maybe 16 or some
such) but from a principal thing I agree totally.
