Army based on light troops
lorenzomele:
I would like to paint a new army having as core troops Ax/Ps and some mounted, and having low Ag to let light foot use difficult terrain.
I am examining Thracians, Ancient Spanish and Numidians.
Anybody had experience using these or a similar army?

I think you might have to wait a while for an answer.So people can get used to Ax pursuing in V2. :) Maybe you could look at something like the Lysimachid,lots of Ax+some nice support troops.

Some week ago I played a campaign based on 69d.C. roman civil war. All armies were EIR, and RAxS were used in large numbers.
The campaign was structured with 2 levels, we started as provincial legati in the civil war, and eliminated players were reintroduced to fight barbarian raids along the borders. So I played different opponents in my 4 games: 2 vs EIR, one vs Chatti and the last vs Dacians. I was appalled to see how RAxS are weak now. The complulsory follow up vs foot is deadly. Even supported RAxS now are in danger when facing warbands.
This is the reason I prefer larger number of PsS now instead of AxS.

So do you think Ax are going the way of the dodo,in DBMM ? :'(

Mixed feelings about AxS. In good going I saw them die horribly to Pikes Sp and Bd.
