Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Jon,

Thanks for your clarification on these questions. My concern for the
HCT was due to the sentence under "All other figures and models and
all"E" class fight only if in a front rank." The very next line
states "Count figures fighting at half effect as half that number
rounded up". This gave me the impression that only half of the front
rank of the HCT fought. (9.22)

Again, appreciate the clarification as written on 9.2 page 67.
