Following a quick conversation on facebook and rules review are being done I would like to through this one on the table

Would like to raise the cost of Charge only Bow at 23pts I feel this is overpriced for what it does.

As I have said in previous posts I agree that charge only shooters are too expensive.

I am looking at making this change for the 2026 lists.

Good news for a lot of Byzantine cavalry 

By reducing the multiplier to 0.4, the cost for Cavalry, Average, Drilled Loose, Protected, Charging Lancer, Charge-Only Bow would drop from 139 points to 129 points.  Take 24 of them and with the points saved you could afford a SuG of 6 Average, Unprotected, Experienced Bow, Combat Shy skirmishers.

Every little helps 

What we agree ...amazing

On a related topic, I think it makes no sense that shooting at evaders makes it more likely they get caught. I would remove slowing effects on skirmish/run away moves.

I disagree, I can see how being shot at would disorganize a unit, cause wounds that slow them, or even just make them weal and dodge which would slow them.

This was too easy it must be some kind of trick.

Pretty much how I see it as well - disorganisation and disruption.

How organised are troops running away any way? Wouldn't abandoning order actually make you move quicker?

Sorry to disagree.
