The Polearm is a misdevelopment. I have Swiss and am annoyed that I no longer have Medium Swordmen 2HW. The Polearm is an anti cavalry weapon. It's useless in bad terrain. Swordmen impetuous or im ...

So here's the situation. Numbers facing down, letters facing up, _ are gaps. Less than 1UD between the lines so everyone is in a ZOC.

Those gaps ...

These are probably dumb questions.

Conforming does not cost CPs (p50).

A) If two units are in corner-to-corner contact, one can slide into melee, front edge to front edge.

B) If two units are ...

When do you want the army list?

What dates does the Low Countries list cover?

I know it says 1384-1478 AD at the top, but 2 options are for Burgher men-at-arms and Feudal men-at-arms before 1330!

So either 1384 is wrong, or th ...

The old Medieval Scandinavian list had some very useful Obudshaer with Halberds - Medium Swordsmen 2HW Armour.

One of the better rough terrain troops (OK, there was that one time I lost a unit to s ...

Fair enough, that makes sense.
I thought that was how it should work, just got confused by the wording . . . it happens a lot!

Yes, that's probably how it should read.

However:

The enemy declares a charge.
The target declares an evade
Target turns to evade and discovers enemy LI units in front of it <1UD ...

Yes, I noticed that.

On p47 it says 'Evades can be blocked in either of the following 2 cases:'

The first case is "evades blocked by ZoC" as you say. LI cannot do that in open terrain ...

The evading LI doesn't block the evade.

The sequence goes:
Enemy charges.
Target turns to evade.
Target discovers enemy units <1UD away that it's can't evade by sliding.
Evade is blocked, th ...

"After any change in orientation, the evading units has enemy units . . . situated less than one UD directly ahead that cannot be avoided by a slide of one UD or less." p48.

Another rule question . . .

What units get the +1 for shooting at mounted targets?

According to the QRS, 'Bow shooting at mounted' gets +1, but that raises a couple of problems.

If it's a bon ...

15mm, 200 points.

Killing things with shooting is extremely slow and there is a good chance the HC wind up off the table before they succeed. You are shooting +0 vs. +1 so need to win by 2 to inflict a hit (10 in 36). ...

HI of all stripes are quite effective. Consider your H Sp vs. HC Bow.

Even after the H Sp have taken a cohesion hit they are still up +1 to +0 in the first round of combat for a unit that costs 8 p ...
