Army of the Trojan war


 

Heroes everywhere, that's the Trojan war. And so is the army list. A General and 4 Heroes is more than any other army can have. At that time the Phalanx was not developed and the core of the army was formed by spearmen supported by different kind of light infantry and skirmishers. Cavalry was not used instead chariots roamed the battle field.

*1 - The unit has a reduced range of 15cm, because of short ranged weapons.



*2 - The unit has a firing arc of 360 degrees.

*3 - Skirmishers are used to harass the enemy with missile fire, but stay out of close combat.

Skirmishers are allowed to shoot before they move. They can shoot even before they move on initiative. When they shoot before they move they can not shoot in the shooting phase. The drive back is still resolved at the end of the ordinary shooting phase. When a unit that has been shot at by skirmishers is charged, it will not be driven back, but has still to roll the appropriate number of dices to see if it is confused.

*4 - A light chariot does not get the +1 for chariot/monster charging in the open.
