There is a shooting factor for "bows and crossbows" against mounted.
Do Lomgbows also count this factor?
Or are they not "bows and crossbows"? _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

The +1 shooting factor for LMI, MI and HI with "bows and crossbows" against mounted count also for longbows.
Don't worry about that  |

Wow. That gives longbows vs mounted one of the biggest positive modifiers in the whole game - shooting or combat.
Just, wow.
The way the rules are written means this isn't obvious to English readers either. It may need adding to the FAQ _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

You're rigth : Longbow are devastating against armored mounted.
Longbow against MC :
+1 for shooting at mounted
Longbow against HC or medium Kn :
+1 for shooting at mounted and -1 to mounted armor (so armor = 0)
Longbow against heavy Kn :
+1 for shooting at mounted and -1 to mounted armor (so armor = 1 instead of 2 against longbow) |

A friend of mine play his Great company army with two corps like this one :
Competent general (3)
4 HI two handed weapon armor (44)
2 LMI long bow elite and stake (24)
2 LI (jls or firearms) elite (10)
It's expensive but really efficient.
He used to deploy them like this :
...LBLB
HIHIHIHI
2 LMI in front, and 4 HI on second line. If he fight mounted, he just have to put the stake on and extend to have a line like this for 3 command points :
HIHILBLBHIHI
If he face some infantry, he just advance his second line to protect longbowmen.
HIHIHIHI
...LBLB
The LI are very usefull for protecting the flank in difficult terrain. |

HI impetuous are a quick kill troop. But for long fight HI two handed weapon are better. |
