Technically I guess this is an army building question but from what I understand, 'Men at Arms' types – heavily armored 'knights' fought mostly on foot during the War of the Roses. Looking at the WotR army list, the only Men at Arms they have listed are "Full Plate Cavalry". I've seen some rules refer to them as cavalry because they show up to the battle mounted but dismount for the fight and what I'm looking to figure out is, is that what these guys are? Dismounted 'Cavalry' or are they supposed to be played as mounted? I haven't been able to find a points cost for Men at Arms not mounted, any ideas? |

For rules on dismounted cavalry, see page 4 (section "Dismounted cavalry"). For the point costs, see chart on page 89. Both page numbers for the Foundry version. Indeed, none of the lists in the Foundry edition seem to have specific entries for dismounted men-at-arms. Griefbringer |

Don't know the MR rules, but in many other sets I'd be glad to buy them as cavalry and dismount them if the enemy had a bunch of longbowmen. |

I was looking for that rule this weekend. Griefbringer has a good reference. My question is, do they dismount prior to the battle and then do you pay for them as dismounted stands? Do they become Str 4 stands as opposed to the Str 3 for mounted? It mentions that they use the spear weapon type, but doesn't Bill/Halberd more represent the melee weapon type that the dismounted MAA would use? For me, I am painting up for the battle of Agincourt and I don't plan on playing in any type of competitive environment so I will just answer my own questions. Chris |
