There is currently a contradiction between the characteristics for Caltrops and the QRS at impact for barricades.
The Caltrops characteristics sheet states that they count as barricades against Elephants during the charge phase. Unfortunately the QRS only has factors against infantry (+2) and Cav/Cm/Ch (+4).
What should the factor be against Elephants? Since Barricades don't count against Elephants during the charge phase it will need it's own entry I assume.

Excellent spot.
Normal barricades don't count vs Elephants.
Wonderful little bit of curcularity.

I wil clarify that they do indeed claim a plus vs them +4 against them.
Can't imagine Ellies liking them one bit.

Caltrops give a barricade bonus vs. Ellies at the factors for other mounted - so +4. I will make a specific change in the characteristic sheet to avoid the current circularity that leads to 0 factor.

Thanks Simon. At the comp in Sydney over the weekend we figured that was your intent and played it that way. Needless to say my Elephants steered clear of Caltrops :)

Thanks for picking it up.
Always amazing how there are little things that are found once a month.
But easy enough to sort.
