For reference, I just got the Hobbit book today and checked out the FAQ's and errata;<br /><br />"Page 53 – Cavalry, Cavalry Knocked Prone.<br />At the bottom of the page, add the following paragraph:<br /><br />Cavalry Knocked Prone<br /><br />The riders of any Cavalry models that have been knocked Prone are automatically Thrown, counting as having rolled a Knocked Flying result (see page 52). The mount is treated exactly like a mount whose rider has dismounted or been killed (see page 51), except that it is also knocked Prone."Tronhammer NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248797060272037467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-51014641558016779482013-05-20T16:11:43.343-04:002013-05-20T16:11:43.343-04:00Thank you for the comments guys, much obliged.

I don't remember if the rule expressly addresses cav, but I would assume you don't roll on the thrown chart, you treat them as having rolled a "1" on the thrown chart. Per the paralyze effect of being knocked to the ground, there is no way they can keep their feet (get a result other than 1 on a thrown rider roll). <br /><br />Moral of the story: keep your cav away from wights. =P el zorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074174383236578390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-75435857995542099432013-05-16T15:32:10.475-04:002013-05-16T15:32:10.475-04:00Hi Timothy!
Welcome to TMAT! My understanding of...Hi Timothy!<br /><br />Welcome to TMAT! My understanding of Paralyze is that it dismounts the rider, and it was my primary concern in a game I played on Christmas Day 2012 against a friend of mine. It's listed as the "What Fun It Is to Ride and Sing a Slaying Song Tonight" battle report.<br /><br />I don't know if it makes them roll on the "Thrown Rider" table, but I know that it does dismount him. For wights, though, that may be even better, though, as you can then casualty the unit with a hero in a Lords of Battle game, say, instead of it just being an opponent casualty (much like falling off a siege ladder). Either way, Barrow Wights present a deterrent to fielding horsemen, :)Centaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616223908725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-7093544663449054282013-05-15T18:21:38.208-04:002013-05-15T18:21:38.208-04:00I'm so glad I stumbled on this blog! am workin...I'm so glad I stumbled on this blog! am working on an Angmar army myself. Here's a question we've been pondering you might have a better idea with - does the Barrow-Wight's Paralyze spell throw the rider when cast at cavalry, making them roll on the 'Thrown Rider' table?Tronhammer NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248797060272037467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-50500543968620944692013-04-03T17:22:32.715-04:002013-04-03T17:22:32.715-04:00In case you're interested, Tavros, I've go...In case you're interested, Tavros, I've got 4 Clansmen and Angbor the Fearless. So if you'd like to avoid spending cash on some of the units, you can definitely borrow mine. I think that a Gondor list could field a very soft list through the Fiefdoms list, as you have a variety of weapons, defense levels, courage levels, movement, and special rules to play with.<br /><br />Oh, and a small hint on the next army: you haven't seen it before on the blog, though some of the prototype units have appeared in scenery posts, :)Centaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616223908725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-75793108341697177232013-04-03T10:47:14.757-04:002013-04-03T10:47:14.757-04:00Very interesting.

That was a very educational read. <br />I am actually about to be in the process of (:P) adding more fiefdoms (lossonarch/lamedon) to my Gondor list to mix up the army. Getting some of those more unique units, though they may be "softer", can really allow for more adaptation for a particular game and open up whole new areas of gameplay. <br />Looking forward to seeing your next army (gray company, perhaps?).
