Warband Germans versus mounted Mongols.
Poor old germans got shot to bits and ran away.

What happened to the suicidal frontal charge, Martin - wouldn't the Mongols stand still long enough for them?

Stewart's mongols did some spectacular shooting. Mike and I did some very poor saves.
The problem is that the shooting stopped the game developing into a fight.
I might consider dropping the shoot D6 of 4,3,2 down to 3,2,1 . Still hitting on 5,6.
e.g
A close order bow unit shooting at unarmoured troops
With 4D6 = 4x 1/3 =1.3 hits. After saves gives .7 kills.
With 3 D6 = 3x 1/3= 1 hit. After save gives .5 kills.
A zone shooting with 2 close order bow would have achieved 1.4 kills.
The same zone shooting with reduced D6 would achieve 1 kill.
Would need some testing I think.

Sounds work a try. At present I feel the armies with lots of bows have a big advantage.
John
Sounds like a very 'arrowing experience for Martin and Mike.
Simon
That's always going to be a fine call to make.

Martin and Mike certainly got the point,
My Mongal pony's offered the Germans rides but they ran away to fast
