Ave Pezhetairoi (what an unusual name),
good to have you here!
Operating HA in skirmish mode it happens that they are caught in close combat:
- when they retreat, thy move to the edge of the battlefield (they always do), but they do not leave; so they get trapped;
- they always concentrate on the on unit they are firing on; if another unit approches, they ignore it until they are attacked
- I had a battle were the enemy (Thracian) had one unit of mounted javs. I sent them one HA and didn't care about them any longer. I thought that the HA could easily deal with javs because of their longer range and maybe higher fire frequency. I was badly surprised when they were caught in close combat almöst immidiately and killed soon. Looks like the lavs are much faster and do not bother with throwing their javs.
