Hi all,
Has anyone got any tips/advice on the best way to deal with charging and formations especially as Rome?
So if you are being charged is it always best to counter charge? And should you do so in formation, ie defensive formation for legionarys or hoplite phalanx etc etc? Or is it better to brace in formation if you have charge defense?
I tend to always use these units as the anvil so with it being important to avoid formation being breached I tend to think its better to brace and set your line how you want, but am i then forgoing a charge bonus? And is it different for vs mele or cavalry?
Also what about Javelin volleys? So if you counter charge do you try to time it so they jav volley then charge, or do you charge in formation so dont use Javs and save them or what?
Any tips appreciated
Thanks
