  2. Another outstanding army and great work on the shields Phil. Another 100 shields is going to be a real test but will look great when fully assembled. It is quite a fun army to use and the ability to field Bd or Ax(S) in DBMM gives a fair bit of flexibility. No matter how many times we use Superior troops we are still constantly looking up the rules to see when the pluses apply.

    1. Thanks Lawrence, Ax(S) Bw(S) and Ps(S) are elements must have in a DBMM army or buying hypothetical point system armies. I really do like my Iberians the army is playable and fun to spread panic :o) to my opponent :o)p his/her army usually Romans!

      In close combat, Superior troops generally receive a +1 modifier if they score more than their opponent in their own bound

      As for Bw(S) receive a +2 modifier if they score more than their target when shooting, or a +1 if they score less when being shot at, representing better armor or skirmishing skills.

      cheers!
