This update changes the following:

- Generals and Captains may take pistols in addition to another melee weapon.

- Fixed bug with Bloodroar mentioning Fear tests.
- Barding for Battle Wizard costs 4 pts.
- Shortbows for halflings cost 3 pts.
- Halflings are Toughness 2. Champion renamed to Constable.
- Pistoliers costs 20 pts.
- Free Company Fighters have the Miltia rule, which allows them to use the Counter Charge and Support Fire actions from the State Troops rule. Cost 5 pts.

- Bertha Bestraugrung or the unit she is with casts any Battle Prayers, they may add +1 to their casting result (see Empire Special Characters expansion)..
I'm curious, are the Knightly Orders going to be included in this revision sweep? They're way out of line with the current Empire book, but I also understand that it's extra work for a supplement that maybe doesn't deserve it.
ReplyDeleteGood question, i love to play the different knightly orders and an updated book would be cool if they are outdated. What exactly do you think is "way out of line" of the current Army Book?
ReplyDeleteI noticed the War Altar still says large target but that rule has been removed, correct?
ReplyDeleteMarkus Wulfhart and Luwdig Schwartzhelm have both 3 wounds, is it intentional? (love it for Ludwig thou)
