I am thinking of folks defending their homes with what is at hand. Anyway, it is a trial balloon at this point. We will see what happens on the table.Chris Stoesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285495844651490795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654492780115979825.post-79982810183145496352012-09-14T03:39:42.676-04:002012-09-14T03:39:42.676-04:00In my experience, the levy will die in seconds if ...In my experience, the levy will die in seconds if they can't have shieldwall, as they will always be at a disadvantage against all Saxon troops and will accumulate casualties and shock very quickly - even in shieldwall, they accumulate shock very quickly but at least the formation means that they ignore the first kill per group in every round of combat. <br /><br />Good luck with your campaign. I'm sure you'll have as much fun as I'm having with the rules. :-) GuitarheroAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12739862408121075838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654492780115979825.post-49546126457225704262012-09-14T02:57:36.565-04:002012-09-14T02:57:36.565-04:00A great report Chris!

I'm no expert but I would have thought that they couldn't perform shieldwall and would fight skirmish style??Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654492780115979825.post-18012276698890120022012-09-14T00:21:40.351-04:002012-09-14T00:21:40.351-04:00Chris, this terrific stuff.

I look forward to more! <br />Cheers,<br />MikeMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.com
