Rajput Kingdom has Replace all Scouts as Light Camelry Impact at 7 points.
If they are Camels impact they should be 8 points I would think.
Or they are Cavalry impact at 7 points |

The are Light Cavalry (6 points) with Impact (+0 for LC) on Camels (+1 for LC) for a total of 7 points. They move like LC, have the Impact ability and panic horses and traverse dunes and brush like other camels (but at LC speed, not cavalry speed). Note that (like LC Impact) they have no missile weapons but can evade (I think).
IMO these are a great troop type but hard to maneuver with the rest of your army (as camel mounted troops can’t be in a group with those they panic nor with any foot except Light Infantry (I think)). But if they happen to be providing overlap support for your foot they seriously annoy mounted +1 for support for your team and -1 for panic to the other team) and just evade away from anything too scary. The fact that the attacker can’t be sure whether they will stick around can force him to overcommit to secure the overlap and not just send a cheap LI or LC to do the job - the Impact and Panic on first combat allows these guys to punch above their weight, for a while at least - if it gets ugly hopefully they can break off.
If you have camels on one side and elephants on the other side of your foot - is their mounted opponent doubly panicked?? Unfortunately I think not…. But maybe… 🤪 |

Ah - thank you for the correction. It seems that impact does not add cost for LC as it replaces the usual bow or javelin for LC. Makes sense. |
