Hello everyone! Was curious as to what the general consensus on the Support special rule was. Do you think it's worth taking? I'm having trouble justifying the extra point per unit.

When you compare it to other types of die modifiers like armor and impact it just doesn't seem to hold up as well. What are everyone's thoughts?

Consider effects of fighting opponents with ferocious charges.
Your armour is not yet effective. Support can be a godsend then.
It's useful but normally not essential

So generally I don't buy it.

It comes in handy say some certain situations. I would probably be willing to have a few in say a Roman army versus barbarians. But I would probably not spend more that 4 max in an army and usually less.

One of the very few bonuses that count against elephants.

Thanks for the good responses. This is about what I thought as well. The list in question is the Pictish list. I can take them to support my medium spearmen and it feels like for 14 units of spear its just better to buy two more stands than upgrade all with support.

Do you expect to face Knights?
If so you will need support more.
