Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Dear all - questions re Inca wardogs from a game completed less than half an
hour ago...

1. Do wardogs count as foot or mounted troops for movement priority purposes?

2. If counting/'fighting' as a scythed chariot, do enemy non-impetuous loose
order foot test for being charged in the open by wardogs?

3. If wardogs count as irregular foot (ie. LI), do they receive hand-to-hand
casualties as Irr. foot; ie. doubled?

4. Do wardogs scout; as LI; and count as how many figures (ie. 5 figures, or 1
element ie. 1/4 of a scouting point - it all helps when fighting Aztecs, or
something else similar - I have outscouted an Aztec army with Incas in the
past)?

5. If wardogs 'fighting' as a scythed chariot, do they cause unease as per the
chariot?

6. If mounted, do they incur disorder for charging across difficult terrain?

7. If 'fighting' as a scythed chariot, can they in fact enter difficult
terrain?; ie. a scythed chariot cannot enter terrain that forbids wheeled
vehicles.

8. Anything else I haven't thought of?

Also - just to be a pain in the arse - what of stampeding herds, in relation to
any of these facets; are they mounted for priority and effect on loose-order
foot?; can they enter difficult terrain?; I can figure out they don't scout,
counting as transport; anything else I haven't thought of...

Sorry for not being on the Classical Warrior wave-length as yet; Air Post is
pretty slow to Australia from the U.S. Also, our home comp. looming in three
days time...

Foot. Mounted is defined in 2.23.

<<2. If counting/'fighting' as a scythed chariot, do enemy non-impetuous loose

No. They are not mounted. 16.26 only describes what they fight as.

<<3. If wardogs count as irregular foot (ie. LI), do they receive hand-to-hand

They do not fight as irreg LI, they fight as HCh.

They are not LI, they move and are shot at as LI.

the

No.

<<6. If mounted, do they incur disorder for charging across difficult
