New boys in action - rules and an update

It seems like a good idea to give the new Persian units an outing so... Actually, to start I thought it best to outline the 'rules' used - basically DBA changed a bit....

Move rate Infantry 6", light infantry 8", cavalry 12". LMI and MI bow types have a 6" range - Ps as part of combat factors only.

All 'Persian' infantry are given a -1 in combat.

River crossings, D6 1,2 no problems but move at half speed.
                                 3,4 failed to cross this move but OK to move next turn
                                 5,6 cannot cross - dice once more only to see if can cross.

Everything set up - simple river crossing. I'm using my trees to mark which move it's on - no trees on the the hill or behind the Persian forces so it's Move O!

Meanwhile, new metal having arrived I started casting horses between moves...Probably start major casting effort tomorrow.

Anyway, this post is just to put the rules up as a separate item so they don't distract from the battle - to be posted later today or tomorrow depending when I get the pictures sorted and write up completed.
