| Knights & Knaves Celtic Lance | |
|
Since the release of Knights & Knaves we have had several requests for
an organizational list for a Celtic lance. The following is it:
Chieftain: armor 4-7, sword, throwing spear, shield?, two-horse chariot and driver.
Other chariot-mounted men: 20-65% of total force, man-at-arms, armor 3-6, sword, throwing spear, shield?, two-horse chariot and driver.
Warriors: 20-65% of total force, half men-at-arms and half as Soldiers, armor 3-5, sword, throwing spear, shield.
Slingers: 10-35% of total force, armor 3-5, sling, sword or dagger.
Rabble: 0-70% of total force, Peasants, armor 3, weapons classed as "other" (farm implements). This category is especially useful in representing villagers, farm-folk and others not of the warrior classes.
Notes on chariots: Chariot horses are treated as non-war-horse. They cannot charge. If one horse is disabled it can be cut from the chariot, which then moves no faster than a trot. The drivers are peasants with armor 3-4 and a sword or dagger. If the driver is disabled roll on the fall chart, a fall equals a crash. Roll on the fall table to see what effect the rider suffers. If the driver suffers a moral failure he will attempt to turn the chariot away from the battle. He can be rallied in the normal fashion. |
