As I indicated previously, the combined lights rule is a great addition to the rules. Being that combined lights exert a zone of control; those armed with a javelin or lance can charge formed troops and don't have to evade; and those units count as standard units for purposes of sharing boxes (4 light units total), perhaps the light unit save modifiers should be re-examined to see whether they should be adjusted when dealing with combined lights. The save modifiers that apply specifically to light infantry/cavalry are:
Melee
Light Infantry in Rough Ground, when charged by any except Light Infantry +2
Foot (except Elephants and Light Infantry) who are not Disordered and are receiving a frontal mounted charge +1
Light Infantry charged by Mounted in Open terrain -1
Shooting
Light Infantry, Light Cavalry/Camelry/Chariotry, or Artillery +1
I am not suggesting any changes, I am simply putting this up for discussion. Because of the size of a combined lights unit, and the ability of two of them to share the same box, do you think these units should be treated identically to non-combined lights in relation to the save modifiers?
