Recently my opponent has taken to shooting at the heroes and more vunerable troops behind my shield wall. 'In the Way' gives him an annoying 50% chance of hitting those weaker troops, in spite of my expensive shields! ![]() So I think this is legal, but wanted to double check. Is this a standard tactic? If not, why not? |

Yes it's legal, and good tactics. Given the right conditions (S2 bows vs light armor, S3 vs heavy) it will increase casualties by 50%. |

Yeah, my Wood Elves almost always shoot at spear/pike supporters. If your shot gets thru you get a good chance at the lightly armored rear model. If your shot goes at the front lines you still have a chance, though usually need a 1 or 2 higher. Similarly with Heroes on mounts. It's usually very hard to kill a Hero with bow fire due to the higher Defense so I usually focus bow fire on normal troops and ignore Heroes. But your shots have a 50/50 chance of hitting the mount instead and those almost always have a lower (sometimes much lower) D. And shooting a horse out from under a powerful Hero is often a great tactic since it robs the Hero of expected mobility and extra attacks and may even separate him from the rest of the force. |
