As Phil says you can use light to occupy the space on the flank.
other options are a Chionite ally gives a unit of decent cav or play the Kushites predecessors Greko-Bactrian which is a siliar army but can have drilled cataphracts.

The previous answer appears to have not noticed that one of the rear bases is HF. It is therefore a standard 4HF+2LF. Deployed as 3HF on the front rank and 1HF + 2LF on the rear rank. The 2 LF on the rear would therefore provide 1 support shooting dice at impact if vs mounted as you lose one per 2LF...

I agree with what Dave said, however, the front rank of the LF is placed just beyond the MF and therefore when they attempt to reform in the movement phase on the most advanced base the position they would take up is inside the MF and consequently I believe that in this situation they stay partially...

The way I understand it the Ambush marker must be placed in a position where all the troop types in the ambush would not be visible. e.g. if its in brush all the BGs must be LF. However, when the ambush is revealed (bottom of page 143) a single base is placed upon the ambush marker and the BGs in th...

I agree that Later Ottoman Turk is one of the top armies on the tabletop. Infact I have ordered the figures for the army today. As non-knightly lance is trumped by knightly lance and armoured janissaries are still less well armoured than heavily armoured Serb Kn neither of these changes would help a...

Phils suggested definition: There are any steady enemy battle troops or disrupted shock enemy battle troops who could make a legal flank or rear charge contact upon the testing BG if that enemy were to charge at the time of the test. I had always assumed that could declare a charge meant you include...

Just to explain why the previous posters are asking if the LF are part of the same BG as the HF. If they are a seperate BG just the right hand file would fight (at POAs vs the MF). It would get one dice as LF lose one dice per two vs the MF. If they are part of the same BG as the HF the LF in the 2n...

Another way of looking at this is that you CANNOT intercept charge into someone's flank or rear, as it doesn't pass through their line of charge. So you could be 1 mm directly behind someone declaring a charge and you can't intercept them. You'd have to wait until your next bound to charge them. Yo...

So the shooting of a 4 base BG of skirmishers is never affected by dissorder or disruption ?? Are you sure about that chaps..... Sorry Hammy thats a bit cryptic for me. The not reducing 2 disrupted units of LH is a common error, see Phils comment on the other shooting thread which I think is throwin...

I think the full answer to the original query is The LF unit A if not disrupted would have 2 dice on A and 1 on B. However, as it is disrupted it loses a dice. It must lose one of the dice on A therefore it has one dice on A and one dice on B. LH1 has 2 dice which while disrupted are not reduced as ...
