Notes: These are base values only – without the application of special rules or variations. HA, LC/char
and LI can fight in open order, other troops can adopt open order to traverse difficult terrain only.
Cataphracts are –1 to hit with missiles all round, and HI to the front only. Specific weapons can affect
stats – though they usually give re-rolls, bonus attacks, morale penalties on the enemy, etc. Where units
are normally fielded as small units I have given the stats specifically – Skirm, LC and HA are usually
small units, LI are likely to be small units if they usually fight in open order.
