Lovely looking game. These rules are FUN to play, which is why I think I started war gaming many years ago! |

It was indeed lots of fun. My opponent has now posted his version of events:

Thanks for posting your report. I am noticing -- from your comments section on your blog -- that people keep pointing to the effectiveness of archery as a problem. Do other LR players think that is a real issue? |

I don't see it myself.
Archers can only shoot up to 18" and at over 12" they're -1 to hit, so need 6+.
I shot a lot at the MAA and only killed a single one before they hit my lines and started carving chunks out of my archers. In the end it was weight of number and attrition in HtH that neutralised the MAA.
My opponents archers did hardly any damage to my force.
My expert archers took a better toll, but that was mainly because their targets came the long way around and failed some command rolls so stood out in the open for longer. |
