It explains mounted combat procedures: who can fight from horseback, how attacks affect riders and mounts, terrain and movement limitations, and shooting constraints. The FAQ also clarifies outcomes when mounts are killed or knocked down, plus the use of outnumbering and mobbing when a horse and rider engage a single target, illustrated by an example duel.","Blood Eagle – Frequently Asked Questions v1.1  \nWhy does a shield cost 2 points and provide +2 Armour Rating while the Two-Weapons Trait costs 5 points for +1 Armour Rating that only applies when Fighting?  \nFirst, a shield doesn’t cost 2 points. AR 9 costs 2 points and can be achieved with a shield, a full helm or a mail byrnie. If you have a mail byrnie and add a shield to reach AR 11, that costs you 9 points. Which is more than 2+2! We wanted to ensure that the higher ARs are much more expensive, thus making them rare as they were in this time period – and also for game balance purposes. The TwoWeapons Trait costs 5 points regardless of the AR the figure is getting from its physical armour. Second, the Two-Weapons Trait gives +1 AR without increasing encumbrance.  \nWhen you take all this into account, the Trait is something of a bargain, especially for figures which have a reasonably high AR from their physical armour.  \nCan anyone other than the Franks fight from horseback?  \nYes. Any figure which is allowed a warhorse in the warband lists can fight from horseback. The Franks are the only ones to use formed units of cavalry but many rich and powerful individuals of the period would have had access to warhorses. They could have used them in small scale skirmishes even though they wouldn’t use them in full-scale pitched battles.  \nDo warhorses get their own separate attack?  \nYes, using the stats in the Bestiary. We recommend that this attack takes place at the same time asthe rider’s.  \nCan the horse of a mounted figure be directly targeted by a Shooting or Fighting Attack?  \nYes – the attacker can choose whether to target the mount, the rider or both by splitting the attacking figure’s FV.  \nIs the movement of a mounted figure restricted in any way by their armour encumbrance?   \nNo – they walk or run at the mount’s speed. Note that if the mount runs the rider cannot Shoot that turn.  \nIs the movement of a mounted figure restricted by the terrain in the same way as a foot figure?   \nBy default, yes. However, you can designate specific types of terrain as more limiting or even Dangerous for your games – it’s up to you.  \nAre there any additional penalties for a figure Shooting at its opponent in a Fight?  \nNo. We limit the weapons which can be used this way to one-handed throwing weapons (unless the figure has the Close-Quarters Shooting Trait) but there are no other limits or penalties.  \nIt’s been suggested on the blog that it might be better to limit such throwing to the first turn of each individual Fight – this seems reasonable to us.  \nWhat happens to the rider if a mount is killed or Knocked Down?  \nIf a mount is shot out from under a rider then the rider just has to go on foot for the rest of the game – or get another mount! If a mount is Knocked Down by shooting then the rider can’t use it until it has recovered from being Knocked Down.  \nIf a mount is killed while Fighting it seems reasonable to require a Fate roll from the rider to avoid being Knocked Down; the rider would remain in the Fight if the roll is successful.  \nBlood Eagle – Frequently Asked Questions v1.1  \nIf a horse and rider are both Fighting a single figure, do you get the Outnumbering bonus and can you use the Mobbing rule?   \nYes and yes.  \nSince we’ve had quite a few questions about mounted combat, here’s an illustrative example.  \nLord Uhtred is mounted on his warhorse Witnere. He Runs Witnere his full 18” into contact with Jagnarr, a Viking Veteran. Uhtred’s side has initiative this turn so he gets to Fight first. Witnere’s attack would be at +3 (FV+1, weapon bonus +1, Outnumbering bonus +1) with a Fate modifier of 0. Uhtred’s attack would beat +8 (FV+4, weapon bonus +3, Outnumbering bonus +1) with a Fate modifier of-2 (legendary sword). Uhtred’s player can either roll both attacks or choose to use the Mobbing rule; this would give up Witnere’s attack to grant Uhtred’s attack a further +1 bonus.  \nSomehow Jagnarr survives this onslaught and is","cbCaiawrdWGqlPHe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiawrdWGqlPHe","pdf",550272,1,2,"English","en",105,"# FAQ - Armour and Two-Weapons Trait\n## Armour rating costs and Two-Weapons Trait effects\n\n# FAQ - Mounted Combat\n## Who can fight from horseback\n## Horse attacks and targeting mounts or riders\n## Movement, terrain, and shooting restrictions\n## When mounts are killed or knocked down\n## Outnumbering and Mobbing with horse + rider\n\n# Worked Example","[{\"question\":\"Why does a shield’s cost and armour rating differ from the Two-Weapons Trait cost?\",\"answer\":\"AR 9 can be achieved via a shield (or other armour), but reaching higher AR totals increases overall cost.
