Well, not just peltasts, any loose-order troops generally. We tried the 8/4 fighting light infantry and even with buffs like Spears As Tribute they didn't fit the bill. We worked out a conversion by dropping the Stamina by one and the points cost by two then giving the units the Agile trait (but only in its front 180 degree arc). You can find further explanation and reasoning here link

I felt much the same at first, but am convinced now that simple Skirmishers Light Infantry work pretty well. |

Interesting as one thing that had me not playing the rules was no warband type troop. I like big battles with multiple Warband against regular types and was struggling to see how i could represent it. Midgard should get put in the rules forum i reckon. It is popular enough. |
