A win by knights represents the formation breaking, at which point the individuals run and are lost. In HOTT Blades represent soldiers who have high individual combat skill so whilst their formation is important, its breakup isn't as critical. The soldiers can fall back and regroup.<br /><br />The charge of the Rohirrim at Pellenor Fields in 'Return of the King' is pure HOTT - knights charging hordes. The hordes break before the knights make contact in fact. Then the knights run into a behemoth and get stomped.<br /><br /><br />Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-70904692170311918702018-06-22T13:09:58.743+10:002018-06-22T13:09:58.743+10:00Great looking HOTT battles, though I never quite u...Great looking HOTT battles, though I never quite understood why guys with long pointy sticks should be so vulnerable to guys on horseback. It makes more sense to me that blades should be quick-killed by knights, and spears should survive. That might also strike a better balance between blades and spears generally, because at the moment blades seem slightly better overall.Caesarnoreply@blogger.com
