Re: [Mass Combat] "Real Soldiers Dig"
Oops. thanks for the correction Ulzgoroth
If the light infantry only had Fire superiority ability, even it was limited to its own TS of 1, that would be an advantage +1. Are there rules for Mobility Superiority (mtd vs foot)? Like if the Light infantry had Mounts. |

Of course, if they're actually Light Cavalry, they'll have Cavalry Superiority, but mounted infantry don't have the same capability.

Re: [Mass Combat] "Real Soldiers Dig"
What if Class TS independent from Base TS?
Light Infantry with F-TS1 has Fire Capability equal to Inferior Bowmen Bowmen with Rec-TS1 has Recon Ability equal to Inferior Light Infantry Unlike Multi-Class Able Elements, where all class abilities go Up with TS. ex. Medium Cavalry at TS3 has better Fire Capability than Bowmen or Horse Archers of the same quality. If Class TS was separate for some units, it would have more interesting combinations IMO. Considering Core Roles, differing with Secondary Roles or Class Abilities. The option of Light Infantry with F-TS1 vs Bowmen with Rec-TS1. Quote:

Re: [Mass Combat] "Real Soldiers Dig"
The usual wargamy way to handle units that entrench themselves is to give them a bonus when defending, or in some cases a bonus when defending if they didn't move or attack during the previous turn.

Tangentially, did Draft Teams ever get errata'd? In my PDF their stats are absurd. I seem to recall they're supposed to have foot mobility, not mounted... Quote:
I think that there's already a representation for basic entrenchment, anyway. Engineering Superiority counts in pitched battles where one side started out encamped. Though if you give legionaries the multi-mode treatment, you get them either fighting at reduced TS, or losing the benefit of their fortification... If you build up more advanced field entrenchments than that could account for, the rules don't specify costs or requirements, but obviously at some point they qualify as a fortress that requires siege combat! Before that point they might be worth an increased DB, but the rules don't seem to address that.
