The title is to distinguish this from Myrt's strand. I've now finished reading Strickland & Hardy "The Great Warbow", which raises the following points. ...
... Who were htehy shot down by, and which archers were over-run? There's lots of Bw(I) in the Early Burgundians........ ... -1 for mouted infantry that still...
... I've used it. It is useful if you have two smallish, nimble commands which need good PIPs, but not necessarily very high PIPs (ie, you need 3+ with both...
... Well at least one of us has been reading it wrong. I read the original to mean that plashing could not be seen, not that plashing disclosed troops. After...
... <snip> ... Nor did the early firearms it seems, hence the introduction of the larger bore Musket when the smaller bore arquebus couldn't penetrate ...
... And anyway, it's assumed in every shooting encounter that some shots miss and some shots don't penetrate or are sufficiently minor wounds as not to...
... Personally, I don't think anyone deserves the +2 when winning! ... This would need the introduction of some kind of mobile obstacle (MO) as has been...

... redefine Bw(X) as those archers equipped and prepared to fight hand-to-hand indefinitely, shooting as Bw(O), and fighting in close combat as Bd(I) vs foot,...
... I see what you mean - I had read it as "Troops not disclosed by shooting out and [Troops not disclosed by] plashing cannot be seen ..." - I don't use...
... Thye shot better but got rid of their horses - this is a mechanism to encourage tehm to get rid of their horses as mounted infantry seem to have usually...
... I like this. There is not much evidence AFAIK that mounted infantry actually did tactically maneuvers on the battlefield once they deployed. Any that did...
... Very true. But instead of using tactical factors to encourage a certain behavior, I'd rather the rules force the behaviour. Especially if the mechanism is...
... I wouldn't bother with additional range bands, or if anything, a flat +40p if uphill. +1 for shooting from uphill might be OK though; it would also imply...
