8legos *The cataphracts urge their horses on, and swiftly move out of range and outpace their enemies, they press on to the Crossings of Poros and exit the region* *the Infantry move on swiftly the archers returning fire with massive volleys directed at any enemy who fires on them, and then exit the region with losses* *before they ride away, my troops fire on your cataphracts taking down around 75*
*The troops then focus on the pikemen, and archers, ducking behind cover as soon as they shoot their arrow.*
OOC: This will tire out your troops which will make them less effective at the poros, just FYI. A few notes; first of all, MWE is not dependent on tiring. Troops don't get tired in this RP. Second of all, the Cataphracts have 1/4-1/2" steel plate armor, so most of your arrows would either be deflected or stopped. I'd put the casualty rate around 10-20.

Not entirely, but it does affect it. Yes they do. Than they would be to slow to out run my lightly armed troops. Plus even that couldn't stop a arrow from a longbow from close range, I also have AP javelins. So around 75 is pretty good.

And no, that rule has never been passed or applied. And yes, unless it's a perfect shot (which, when shooting at a horseman, is very rare) it won't penetrate. You never mentioned javelins; they would cause your troops to reveal their positions more easily, given you have to stand up to throw one.

Oh really, but most experienced people here apply the practical rules of medieval warfare which includes troops getting tired. So while their may not be a rule about, tired troops fight worse than fresh troops. Taking down their horse would work pretty good too, since then they would be lonched out of their seat and would likely break their neck when they hit the ground. I did. Maybe, there is also cover for them to fire from.

Thanks for allowing losses. If they haven't your troops can arrive at their destination and then we can just take losses from there.

Thanks for allowing losses. If they haven't your troops can arrive at their destination and then we can just take losses from there. These: 1,000 Pikemen (2,000 MWE) 1,000 Spearmen (1,000 MWE) 1,000 Cataphracts (4,000 MWE) 1,000 archers (1,000 MWE).
So, what do you think would be reasonable? it partly depends on how exactly your troops were spread out through the topic.

What do you think? Do the cataphracts* have shields?
My troops would proabaly focus on the troops with out a shield and that can't fire back at them. So the cataphract horses, and pikemen.
maybe 200ish pikes and 100ish catapjracts for a total of 800 MWE lost? How does that sound?
*Why does spell check not think that cataphract is a word?

You are most welcome. I don't know. :tounge: These are goatman's units. Sure. Why not? maybe it should be a bit higher, with also 100 Spearmen. The spell check here is weird. *The troops leave the region, with losses*
