Hello,

A note in the list reads "A command may not have more than one TUG of cavalry. Cavalry [...]".

The unit affected by this rule are "Cavalry" not only as their Type, but also as their name (without any other word in the name).

While this should normally not be source of misinterpretation for the limit, I think it might in this instance, given that the unit can purchase the option to be Dismountable.

My impression is thus that, as the phrasing stand right now, it could be argued that a player could deploy all his cavalry as dismounted and put all of them in one command.

How should we interpret the word  limit ?

  • "Cavalry" designates the Unit Type => if dismounted, the limit does not apply
  • "Cavalry" designates the Unit name => the limit always applies

Best regards,
Antoine

I understand that it could be clearer.

Perhaps it would be clearer if the UG was referred to as "Noble cavalry".   A command may not have more than one TuG of Noble cavalry. Noble cavalry may dismount as ....

Thank you Richard, may I suggest it might be even clearer, especially for non-native readers, if the unit was simply named "Nobles", as in other armies like Early Welsh 3207.

Best,
