A friend of mine has reiterated his reasons for concluding that 7th
edition fails as a rational game simulation design. I'd like FHE to
comment on whether Warrior is subject to these percieved failings. >>


Not exactly the sort of rhetoric likely to promote civil discourse.
(Allegations??)
However to address the points raised as a casual, objective, observer, the
lack of some sort of gladius rule to help out the legionaries after the pila
have been spent has long been debated with many rules sets, probably seen as
most egregious in Warhammer Ancients Battles, where legionaries cause almost
no damage after the initial charge.
It is a legitimate subject for debate, but hardly a 'perceived failing.'
Legionaries do just fine against infantry.
The 'allegation' that troops armed only with sidearms are too powerful in
Warrior is simply odd.
I'm afraid I didn't get the point of the Agincourt question at all.
