Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Personally, the "bonding squads are great against them" argument falls really flat for me, since almost all of my favorite melee squads don't bond.
That said, I like playing with the Cathars and I feel much better about using them than about using a figure like Q9 or the 4th Mass.

Impale, meanwhile, is the simplest way to implement the desired theme/mechanic in the Heroscape ruleset. If it makes you feel better, you could think of it as something along the lines of a base attack of 3 with text of: Quote:

Bracing is used when someone runs into the space adjacent to you. If bracing logically hits them as they reach an adjacent space, then there's no extra distance involved to impale them in the prior space. ~Aldin, mathamagically challenged He either fears his fate too much or his desserts are small That dares not put it to the touch to gain or lose it all ~James Graham |

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
The way it seems is that you would be affected by braced spear as you reached the spear point while running, like I said. You run unit to the spear, and logic and sculpt dictate that this would occur as you reached the gap between the hexes in HS. So the impale would reach the other end of the hex, not the next, if that made any sense.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
If you get the concept on these guys, then they are super fun to play. The whole theme of guys running into pikes or spears is awesome. The range bonus of 2 that gives you the extra attack makes your opponent want to get in there and attack or "be a little girl" and get back and shoot em. Personally I like to shoot at these guys, less of my figures die that way. Overall I don't get the argument but hey.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
The talk about their braced spear makes me wish that a Cathar Spearman had to be adjacent to another Cathar for Braced Spear to work. It's not nearly as difficult to avoid one spear as it is to avoid multiple spears, which is why they were most often used in formation.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
They were pretty inexpensive for a long time. I bet if you go to the trade subforum and try to acquire some there, you'll have some luck.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
I used to have some 40 or so of these guys, but have been giving them to friends, and family, and giving them out as prizes and other things. I'll see how many I have left and if I have enough, I'll give you a reasonable deal.
