"Carthaginian and Roman Midgard" Topic

Today we returned to our first game, when we were introduced to Midgard. I wanted to try some new stats for the Numidian cavalry!

Gaes are to test the rules, better try again

What did you feel went wrong with your stats for the Numidians? They did seem to be hampered by the edge of the world…

Herky – there are people who talk about wargaming & people who do it. You're in the right camp. I enjoyed your AAR.

The stats failed in 2 ways:

'Marksman' made them too efficient, and took away the special feel of the Balearic slingers.

My 'Swift' custom trait never got properly tested, but I noticed when facing the Numidians, I felt I would be unable to contact them, where with 1/3 chance of catching them I was willing to try. – it just felt too brutal for Midgard.

After a post game chat we thought a better solution would be to do one of 2 things:
Lawrence suggested ditching the only one evade move rule, and allowing an evade move during a second charge by a unit.
I thought a better way would simply to say a unit's move ends after an attempt to charge a unit, if that unit evades out of reach. This could act to slow a unit when facing skirmishers, which I feel historical.

I think your Numidian horse performed as they should. They were good; look how Carthage performed after they switched allegiance to Rome.
I think that was a good battle.
