G'day,

With melee factors vs artillery, what factor does the attacker get?

I understand artillery gives their opponent a +1. Does the attacker get anything else?

Eg, if a heavy cav impact charges, would it get +1 impact, +1 artillery.

Have had a few issues with flank charging and factors. So, a heavy cav gets +1 vs heavy foot in the flank, but gets no base factor against say artillery.

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon,

Attacker gets whatever they normally get plus one. In your example with the impact cavalry, you get one from impact plus one from the artillery for net plus two.

To further clarify the succinct Longtooth

Attacker gets their CF plus modifers abilties etc.
Defener (artillery) does same. So it transmits 1 factor to the attacker.


Let say attacker was HI sword with impact versus defender artillery
HI sw is 1 plus 1 for impact
Art transmits 1 to the HI

So first round is 3 versus 0.

Ok, that makes sense.

So, I really should update the ADLG-R QRS and make it clearer.

You get a +1 bonus vs artillery, plus your normal factors.

Tah everyone!

This is a natural consequence of writing some rules (for artillery and scythed chariots) in a completely different way to all others. Never a good thing to do even if it saves space on the mega table on page 22.
