HW - Armies with speed 2 From: baidins@copland.udel.edu (Juris Baidins) Date: Sat, 04 May 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Has anyone else seen this? Armies of speed 2 (specifically Gunderland pikes) do not make it on time to defensive battles. In three set-piece defensive battles, only one quarter of the Gunderlanders made it on time to the battle and these are the ones in the provincial army. Not much point to a Gunderlander that cannot be placed in the front rank. Response rate when Gunderlanders are part of an active army invading is near 100%. Is this something unique to Gunderland troops or ... In short, it seems to me that armies of speed two in defensive imperial armies and provincial armies are a major joke. This is especially bad since a lot of setups have the speed two armies in defensive armies and provincial armies. Often speed two armies are the major punch of a nations army (heavy infantry, heavy pikes, heavy infantry archers). -- Juris Baidins baidins@strauss.udel.edu Referenced By Up
