Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

If a 2E unit of non-Mongol cavalry (or Mongol LC) dismounts, is the
resulting 1E unit considered shielded if the original unit included
one shielded and one unshielded element? What if one element is HC
and the other MC? If the elements are differently armed?

Neither 2.25, 2.33, nor 6.6 seemed to clarify this.

Thanks,

Good question.

The answer is, the player may choose which element of the two dismounting will
be counted as the base element for determining the dismounted troop type.

Well that just shows how little I know. I would have thought that the answer was
that such unit could not dismount, as the only allowable 1E bodies in Warrior
are staff elements.

From 6.61, next to last sentences:

"As an exception to the normal rules for unit size, a dismounted unit may have a
size of one element. Theoretical ‘part elements’ are lost when dismounting."

Not used very often, and for good reason...lol

A 2E unit of heavy cavalry dismounts, 1 element is shielded, the other
is not.

Is the resulting 1E unit shielded or not?

Thanks

Shielded.

Single element Cav generals cannot dismount without a list rule.

A questions with regards to the "theoretical 'part elements' are lost"
rule.

Does this rule mean that single element Cavalry generals cannot
dismount, or should there be an exception to allow dismounting 1:1 for
generals?

Thanks
