Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Tim Grimmett]

Question:

Do Viking Hirdsmen and Beserker units armed with 2HCW count 1/3 of 3rd and 4th rank if charging, countercharging, pursuing, or following -up?
I assume they do.

Query:

How is this affecting all you Hello-philes out there? Thinking of taking your Hoplites as irregular?

The DC group is using the barbarian rules for the next tournament starting in Jan 07, if I had sufficient Greekis in 15mm I'd seriously consider giving them a run as irreg.

Not me. There is no point to being Greek if you're not really Greek anymore. It changes too much of the feel of the army. I would think there are plenty of other armies where irregular close order foot are available with good supprting troops, if that's what one desires.

As a follow-on question, Varangians armed ONLY with a 2HCW in a second rank fight with half their figures. If they include a JLS they count as other foot + JLS. What does the third rank fight as (2HCW, JLS)?
