If you are in the classical period and not facing Phalanx, Cataphracts, legionnaires and Elephants in some frequency then what game would you be playing? (Mind you Ostrogoths and Germans have both been known to beat these.) I consider that a feature.
Oh right DBM 3.1 Later Pre-Islamic Arab, with camels, Bow and endless blade. Not that i was above running that list mind you.
Caesar's Triumvir (Or Scipio Africanus) list would gladly face classical Indians with 6 Elephants. The legions are much more likely to wrap the elephants than vice-versa. |
LPIA - that is a great list in DBA, love it. There are far more options for the Classical Period than just pike, cats, elephants and HI impact/armour just not as popular at tournaments (apart from those brave souls who want to keep it interesting) as they don't have any of those super troop types in. Who going to turn up with with Cappadocian with those mighty Medium Sword? It's understandable why would you turn up with one of the many vanilla armies when when you can just pick one that will make your life easier? Of course in any rule system that uses a D6 anything can beat anything and there are always caveats. |
