I know that DBx has something of the same issue in that successful Knights can just keep on charging and you can't really wear down opponents with archery. These are both mitigated "somewhat" by other mechanisms, but not totally - and in some scenarios, that really makes a difference.JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-20687658742326797472019-09-08T08:03:27.412+01:002019-09-08T08:03:27.412+01:00That was a bloody fight for sure and initially I d...That was a bloody fight for sure and initially I didn't think the Austrians would do it. How wrong was I? It does seem a bit strange that the Austrians didn't lose any combat effectiveness, despite so many 'hits'.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
