Orders problems
I have been having a play with Tien Chi Barbarian Kingdoms theme hoping to find some hidden gems amongst an army I have enjoyed playing table top ancients with - Hsuing-nui.
I figured that seeing as all the mounted have lance and bow and the obvious advantage of the theme is better cavalry I should try using it. Maybe I have got something wrong but I couldn't get the cavalry to use their weapons combination in a effective manner.
Attempt 1.
Cavalry deployed under hold and attack intending to shoot at the closing eneme then charge - trouble is they don't shoot.
Attempt 2.
Cavalry on Guard commander, commander of fire, fire, fire, attack. Once again the cavalry fail to use their bows.
Sure you can just put them on fire (precision 8?! So much for skilled horse archers) but then the LC Version will rout the moment something hits them. Sure the HC sort of work this way but it doesn't feel right.
Please allow troops with missile weapons on hold and attack or guard commander to fire their missle weapons. This would enable a huge range of cunning cavalry tactics. You could raise the precision for the Barbarian Kings Version cavalry as well to reflect the superior mounted archery of the steppe nomads who have come in and conquered. As they stand the option doesn't seem over endowed with riches.
Cheers
Keir
