Both of my commanders have played enough BoB that they are aware of the infantries weaknesses, hence the reason most of them were placed on hills or in woods. I do use the Carroccio for the later battles in Italy. It does help, so does having the Pope leading the army. Unless of course you get him killed. :-)<br /><br />VictorVictorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829654530839299051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858525388694694545.post-16161870052723353872013-07-05T17:19:19.550-07:002013-07-05T17:19:19.550-07:00Great report!

Most of the Italian Infantry of this era were fairly poor quality civic guards, with a smattering of better mercenary troops. Try using the Carroccio for these states if you haven't done so already' in addition to being a marvelous piece of period fluff (well, properly more 1300's, I think),the Infantry really need the Morale boost. Just the Cavalry Morale Challenge can make many of them run for the hills otherwise! <br /><br />PeterGonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858525388694694545.post-77836347894431263172013-07-05T04:55:37.087-07:002013-07-05T04:55:37.087-07:00Very nice report.
