Following a discussion i had with Julian Lopez during the one-day London tournament, there was a doubt about the condition to realise a break off with mounted troops,in the french version. (p 44 3rd bullet). The sentence may be confusing.
It has been confirmed by the DT in the french forum that mounted troop (except elephants and scythed chariots ) may break off when they are fighting:
1)any foot troops
2)any mounted troops slower than them _________________ "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"

In the French version, the sentence could be understand as :
mounted troops may break off if they are fighting foot troops or mounted troops (both) slower than them
Typical French language subtlety.
It seems that there is no doubt in English version, I could not verified. _________________ "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"

Are there any foot troops who are faster than any mounted troops? _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

Not in plain.

Mounted need to be faster.
Not foot need to be faster.
Many foot are same speed as knights. _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |
