Then you don't know how to use cavalry. When was the last time you sufferred a charge from Greek or Steppe heavies?

Then to be honest you're not qualified to comment, if you have not faced the Greek and Eastern Lancers.

I think that there might be a balancing issue with the Antesignani armor stats. Antesignani are shown with a bronze curiass and helmet and have 14 for armor. Pedites Extraordinarii and Camillan Triarii both have a bronze curiass, helmet and one greave and have 12 for armor.

Its looks like the Antesignani's armor should be at least 2 points lower...

ok- i stand corrected- i tried out a unit of antesignani vs. a unit of companions and the companions won- but i lost 1/2 my companions.

Did you let the Companions Melee or did you repeat charge, Companions properly used can deliver four or five charges easily without losing a single man.

I recall reading a comment from an EB member in an earlier thread touching on the subject that the armor stat of the Antesignani had been reduced in their internal versions.
