jdew -> RE: Heavy Foot vs Missile Troops Question (7/16/2010 12:55:57 PM)

It depends on what kind of missile troops.
If they are Medium Foot, then they can engage Heavy Foot and possibly win (depends on the die rolls). The English longbowmen, for example, are MF. The MF class is described as:
"Foot troops capable of fighting in close formation, but less reliant on formation for their fighting style, and hence better suited than heavy foot to fighting in rough terrain. They are capable of fighting alongside heavy foot in the open, but are less able to resist a mounted charge and are less resilient to losing a fight. Three foot figures per battle group."
Mounted heavies might better engage MF archers... that was a typical French tactic (and why English longbowmen would deploy their stakes once they took up their defensive position).
