Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

After reading the various sections of the rules, I am still a little
unsure about the rules for mantlets. Two things in particular seem
unclear.

1. Like Pavise, do B armed shooters behind a mantlet count shieldless?

2. The Mantlet is described as providing cover for 2 shooters. How does
this work on the table. Can you for example buy them for every 2nd element
in the front rank of a unit and have the entire unit in cover?

No. See 7.4.

That is a typo. You must buy and employ mantlets on a full element basis.
This will be corrected in the revised rulebook.

Do you mean that the cost of a mantlet covers one element no matter
how many figures are on it?

No, I mean it costs 4 points to cover one close order element.

What about artillery elements etc?

Do you intend Mantlets to be integral to an element base, or
something that can be set up allowing anyone to move behind it to
gain protection?

Getting confused as to why you specified "close order."

[joncleaves]

Artillery is close order.
I intend mantlets to work according to 7.3, which, among other things, specifies
that without a list rule, loose and open order foot cannot employ them.

Now, I am not trying to be persnickety, but here's a question for you. Did you
read 7.3 before you asked this question? :)

I suspected as much.

Doug, I am here to help people when they read the rules and they can't find
what they are looking for or it does not make sense to them.

I am not here to keep you from moving your cat to read your rulebook.
Please check the book before expecting an answer to a rules question from me.

Does it answer the question of how much a mantlet for a loose or open
order element costs? What does FanWarrior say about it?
