Here's game two. Obviously the Getai Shock ball does not work against a deep defense so I had to go hybrid steppe(you don't have to announce steppe anymore, I'll check the rules to see if I got that.)

And yes, I'm going to count with smilies. BTW- I think we should increase the heavy cav designation to > Very Well Armored. Medium cav is somewhat lacking...

...Medium cav is somewhat lacking...

depends on what faction you are playing with... Mak, KH, Bactria, Pontus, AS, Ptolemoi, Hyasdan (sp), Parthia, Saka, have access to several types of medium cavarly. Some of them are very good.

Polybian Romani and Marian also have decent medium cavarly... and Leuges Epos (sp) are pretty decent too.

I agree, because if someone checks up Pontos, we have medium cavalry, but we can't use them as they are classed as heavy cavalry by the rules.

[option]

Yeah, I think there should be a definite category for medium cavalry. Cappadocians and Medians are quality cavalry if you use them right, but there's no chance of them performing devastating cataphract-esque charges, so them and their ilk should be freed up by the rules.

[antisocialmunky]

They are already freed. They don't have lances, just overhand spears. The problem is the high-end medium or low-end heavy cavalry where the line gets blurred. Both types ahve 4 lance attack.

Thracian Prodromoi are medium but they are classified as heavy.

Okay...

I think that the line might be better drawn at less than 3050 mnai, less than 5 lance attack, and fast. That pretty much seperates low end heavies(Roman Cav) and high end Mediums(Lochrophoroi).

Ahh yes, awesome!

Do people want to make it so you can take a Body Guard unit and not have it count against anything else?
