I stand corrected. I don't know if this is the reason why there are no Ax in these Roman lists, but some nations which have allies included in their list for...

What are some tactical considerations for using a high number of LH against an enemy?...
... Since LH have a good movement,you can break off 2 units,circle around behind your opponant's line,and if they break,they run into the LH,automatically...
... LH ... NB: I have used 3 LH together at once, but not more. My impressions might be coloured as a consequence ;) About skythians (and any LH, for the...
Threaten the camp, threaten the flanks, go for the knights. Lh are all about what you might do, you need to make you opponent think if you roll a six you'll...
I am hardly an expert, but: 1. You want to try to use superior movement length and subsequent moves to get some of your LH around one or both flanks of the...

Thanks for many suggestions. I'm going to have 12 stands of Light Horse. Sure, it's crazy, but I didn't write the list. It will either be fun for frusttrating....
Hi there, Well history is on your side – the Scyths had a roughly 50.50 record vs the Persian empire and variously gave it to Assyrians, Medes, Urartu and...
Due to unavoidable circumstances in the editors life the November issue of Slingshot will be with you a bit later than hoped. However, I anticipate that it...
... Lots of good advice so far. I'll add one more tip. Remember that you can form column, anytime, for just one PIP. This makes it easier to threaten on one...
... Seconded. A column is often a good way to get several elements _around_ a flank faster than your opponent is prepared for. I usually start an all-LH army...
Hi gang, What is the usual understanding about forming columns? It’s not clear to me that they can be freely formed as the player wishes – excepting the...
Jim, That's a nice deployment, very flexible. I like it because with the group to column move, the center can be refused after it comes forward with just 2...
Jack, That seems an excellent point. If I understand you correctly, the first pip is for the group to column, pips 2-4 are for three, 5 inch column moves, and...
Thank you for the clarification. I must amend my point about refusing the center. The leading elements of the new columns formed must move when the column is...
