The Romans certainly made no such distinction between Medium and Heavy, at least in this era. In TTS! terms the only real difference would be the "HC" being rated as "Veteran", yielding a small improvement in their save and an extra Javelin to chuck, should they have the chance to do so!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-42809245127252780682020-09-23T21:01:00.636-04:002020-09-23T21:01:00.636-04:00if things go according to plan, there should be a ...if things go according to plan, there should be a couple more Punic posts before month's end, iain.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-66559146190014882522020-09-23T10:09:28.409-04:002020-09-23T10:09:28.409-04:00Peter, this is a very useful contrast between Crus...Peter, this is a very useful contrast between Crusader and Old Glory cavalry.
