Title: Roman Legionnaires Shieldwall?
Post by: Robin on June 06, 2022, 06:54:47 PM
Hi Richard. Just wondering about the reasoning behind not allowing highly trained legionnaires the Shieldwall characteristic? Appreciate it would make them expensive but surely they should at least have the option !!!
Regards
Robin

Would screw up their interaction with barbarian warband types.

Absolutely.  It is always getting the right effect that we are looking for.

For IW Legionaries, sure: they're good enough already. For later Short Spear/Darts Legionaries though? It should be an option there IMO for the more defensive fighting style.

Certainly a better argument for those having it as an option.
