Title: mounted FARM infantry
Post by: badhabum on November 09, 2021, 08:23:42 PM
When a Fully armoured foot tug is mounted I do suppose the horse is not armoured as well ? ( which seems logical )

PG 185 is not very specific ont it, neither pg 210

IIRC, the unit is always treated as infantry, not mounted, so the question of armor (sorry, armour) is moot.

not quite moot, it would make a difference to their move speeds and travel distance through terrain.

Infantry with the dismountable characteristic is still infantry.  You are shooting at infantry.

So you shoot at armoured "men" who move as loose order ( PG 211 )

It seems strange and not very logic or intuitive  to have mounted infantry being better armoured than mounted knights who have unarmoured horses when shot at but may dismount fully armoured . This might need a comment in the next addenda so as to avoid any mistakes.
