Hi,

Making my first list, need some help.

In list 7 - Assyrian, you have:

Chariots with 2 horses *
Light chariot bow
Add armour
Upgrade to elite (max 4 in total)

Chariots with 3 horses *
Heavy chariot impact (max 1/2)
Upgrade to elite (max 4 in total)

They share 4-12 Units.

How does the max 1/2 work? I haven't seen an example on the rules book. Normally the max is the maximum number of units I can take.

1. Is it 2-6 of the of the 4-12?
So to meet the minimum requirement:
4 Lch
2 Lch 2 Hch
1 Lch 3 Hch
4 Hch

2. Or half of the light chariots taken?
So to meet the minimum requirement:
4 Lch
3 Lch 1 Hch
2 Lch 2 Hch

3. Other explanation?

Thanks for the help.

Of the total number of chariots you take, up to half of this total can be Heavy chariots

Here is a list I used somewhat recently at a tournament that I thought worked pretty well.


Strategist
2 Chariots with 2 horses Light chariot armour bow Elite
2 Chariots with 2 horses Light chariot bow ----------
2 Asharittu warriors Medium swordsmen impact support Elite
1 Hupshu warriors ½ Medium swordsmen ½ Bowmen ----------
2 Slingers Light infantry sling --------

Competent
4 Asharittu warriors Medium swordsmen impact support Elite
1 Hupshu warriors ½ Medium swordsmen ½ Bowmen --------
2 Archers Light infantry bow --------

Competent
2 Chariots with 2 horses Light chariot armour bow Elite
2 Chariots with 2 horses Light chariot bow ----------
1 Scouts Light cavalry bow Mediocre

[KevinD]

If one wanted to bring Kallapini (the carts carrying infantry), where would they fit in in this list?

Are they simply treated as unarmored light chariots with bow, or as Pethelle medium cavalry bow (perhaps mediocre)? Or are they no longer thought to be a troop type that actually existed? Or are all the vaguely mounted infantry sorts treated as infantry who dismounted before battle and maybe represented by some of the Asharittu or Hupshu?

[ethan]

I think they take the Kallapani as used to get to the battlefield not used on the battlefield, like mounts for English longbowmen, so are not represented.
