Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Really love these guys, got to use them when play testing Raymond. I'll say this, you need probably 3-4 to get their full effectiveness. Anything less and their numbers don't really stand up.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
I bought the starter box set a while ago so I already have 2 squads ready to go. Don't really want to track down and buy two more squads though, can they be effective a 2x or are they just like most squads where 3x is the minimum?
Oh, and is their hero (the mentioned Count) a figure I would already have too from the starter set (have not looked at it in quite a while so I'm not sure what else came in it) or will he be something I would need to purchase separately? |

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Yep, Abel (the hero in the starter) is Count Raymond.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
I'd say they tend to need 3+ squads for maximum effectiveness, like most commons.
When facing spearmen with bonding melee, one strategy I like is to have my bonding hero heroically lead the charge into the line. The (multi-life) hero absorbs the wounds from braced spear, and once a spearman is engaged he can't use braced spear on the squad figures that follow up. So bonding melee actually does have some ways to deal with the spearmen. On the flip side, I don't think the spearmen are really that bad against range. 4 defense is always nice against commons, and you're going to be rolling with the full 3-die attack most of the time against ranged figures. |

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
It not too expensive to add two more squads.

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
How do you mean with "Braced spear" ?
I'm translating these cards for the French Community, and I'd like to know the exact signification of "Braced" here. A synonym please? (or better: a translation? ^^) Last edited by DanieLoche; July 1st, 2018 at 12:47 PM. |

Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
Braced = steadied, locked/held in place, etc. To skewer an oncoming charge.
