Title: Barricades = No Supporting Files?
Post by: Francis Small on March 16, 2021, 05:12:08 AM
I'm mystified by the parenthetical end of p. 183 under "Battlewagons":

QuoteIf attacked while in column, they count the barricades characteristic (so no supporting files will be possible by the enemy).

No supporting files when fighting barricades? I can't find that anywhere. Even when in line formation, you should be able to get supporting files against battlewagons on the ends, or did I miss something?

There used to be a rule that you couldn't claim a supporting file against troops behind Barricades.  I have no idea where that rule has gone!

Seems to have gone the way of those key parts of keil that vanished  :o

Better add to the errata I guess.
