Are you… scared?

Man at Arms, huh?

>>8

I like this!

We have to do castle sieges, and the equipment doesn’t look cool at all!

What are we going to do about the horse’s charge?

Well, I guess it’s fine to just throw it to Lantzkunicht!

>>11

To be able to target only the knight on horseback charging at full speed is too elite.

It seems that the conscripted farmers fall asleep when charged at by horses.

>>14

That concept of “raising the front line” was really interesting.

I don’t prefer that the character who gets used is obviously an ugly and nasty person…

The effectiveness of a cavalry charge varies significantly with training level.

Indeed, it is a matter of gathering densely from a detour and then dispersing according to command.

Something feels… sparse about the formation…?

The spear infantry is unusually heavily armored…

There’s a big, unarmed person with big breasts right in front of me…

If you want to create a tough infantry army, you need to gather a lot of strong men, right?

With that pike, it’s impossible to thrust directly from underneath.

>>19

Be ashamed of being intruded upon.

If it’s Sangokushi Taisen, it’s still in operation now!

The successor Hero War is also here!

>>23

The basic principle of the series is the triangle of infantry, cavalry, and spearmen.

In the sequel, Der Langrisser, due to the order of processing, the infantry commander’s ranged attack wave can knock down cavalry…

I wonder how many times more infantry would be needed if we actually had to endure it.

>>24

The Battle of Morgarten involved 1,500 Swiss farmers.

Because we have defeated about 3000 Austrian knights.

Having the advantage of location is quite effective.

>>62

I’ve gained the advantage of the terrain! That’s quite an important thing, isn’t it?

Anti-cavalry units are either too strong or completely useless…

This type of spear is planted in the ground to absorb the impact, so instead of swinging it around, you just need to align it with where your opponent charges in.

It seems that some kind of technique has been used since no one has been trampled by horses despite being hit by a dense cavalry charge.

Amazing, regular soldiers…!

Is the yari-bukusa actually a cavalry charge?

>>31

Effective not only against cavalry but also against infantry.

As mentioned in the above response, it is weak when surrounded.

It will organize into a formation and develop into the Tercio formation.

Japan also had long spears exceeding 6 meters, really long.

Cavalry’s defensive strength and cost are a drawback, so charging head-on into a phalanx without support is a bit…

Both infantry and cavalry are lined up in a single row, and it looks cool how it’s decided in an instant.

Japanese spears are spears as primary weapons and

The long spear is designed for the purpose of literally striking the enemy with a group combat tactic.

Give weak soldiers a spear; in this case, the spear is a long spear, as it doesn’t require skill.

I feel a consideration for not killing the horse.

>>40

It’s strong but the difficulty is too high!

>>42

Well then, shall we go with a gun…?

Spearmen are relatively undervalued in SLGs, aren’t they?

>>41

An image of units that can be assembled in quantities at a low cost.

It also has a bonus against cavalry.

>>41

Since there are many things that are specialized against cavalry, it inevitably becomes defense-oriented.

In simulation games, players tend to become the attacking side, which leads to a focus on cavalry.

In Langrisser, there are stages designed where strong cavalry charges at you, so you have to prepare a line of spearmen to intercept, but otherwise, I don’t use them much.

If you make reach the justice, the balance will be over…

The fact that so many full plates are out means that the era of guns is coming soon…

>>47

It might be an otherworldly story…

A horse’s tackle is scary.

>>49

Horses also think tackling is scary.

The protagonist’s prey is a pot…

>>52

Reincarnation wearing a pot and hitting with a frying pan?

Since many people will die, let’s have a duel between the commanding officers!

Infantry can’t escape once they’ve entered combat distance, so it’s a scary position of either victory or death.

Is the era of the crossbow not coming?

In SLGs, spearmen have a strong image against cavalry.

If cavalry could shoot arrows from above, combining range and mobility would make them the strongest, and that’s true, but the only ones capable of forming a legion with just that are the horse-riding peoples who have been living a hunting life with horses and bows since they were born…

>>58

Even if it’s not a bow, if you randomly throw something, the infantry will die!

95% of games have ridiculous costs for cavalry, and even if you spend money, it’s hard to gather skilled archers that are capable of entering the battlefield.

That’s why it’s adjusted much more loosely than reality to maintain balance.

Ultimately, it will come to Fusayria charging with a spear longer than that of the infantry.

Even in the age of guns, Fusaria was incredibly strong, but in the end, it fell apart due to cost issues.

If it’s this sparse, the following horses will crush and kill you.

>>64

Both are relatively sparse, so it’s okay.

Isn’t it scary that you have to stop a several hundred kilogram mass coming at you at 60 km/h with a stick…?

>>67

As I said in the image, the farmers get scared and run away, becoming easy prey.

A trained true man does not get scared.

>>89

Isn’t it true that the shock doesn’t come to us because the person holding it is the one on the ground?

Well, it probably isn’t everything, but…

>>96

In short, if you just pierce the ground, the damage to the cavalry will be greater because all the impact is thrust into their body.

Therefore, it is more important to hit accurately without fear.

Even in Maubre, the spear formation is strong.

Both the Catapult and the Banana Knight are falling one after another, and the kill log is flowing.

>>68

However, the spearmen themselves are weak, so if you hit them with heavy infantry or archers, they’ll go down quickly…

I heard that the charge of the elephant troops can create gaps in the formation and will avoid them on their own.

Phalanx!!

Even with cavalry, in the end, we have to charge and crush them…

The bows used by the Mongols while on horseback were small.

If I could wield a large and strong bow in the same number, history might have changed.

No matter how strong the horse is, I don’t want to charge into a blade.

If it’s a small skirmish with tens to hundreds of people rather than a large battle, it might look something like this.

The cavalry is strong on horseback, but,

>>80

(I didn’t know you were strong even after you came down…)

Instead of taking the trouble to produce new spearmen, I will sacrifice cavalry to consume the turn and then surround and attack with existing units.

Knights were strong even when riding horses, but when dismounted, if they had a better physique than peasants, they wouldn’t be scared either, so they were certainly strong back in the day.

But the era of guns is different!

>>83

In the early days of the gun era, horses were still stronger.

With the increase in firing rate and range, cavalry has managed to survive for quite a while even after the introduction of guns.

The English troops are in a line of longbowmen and dismounted cavalry, but they are using the terrain and obstacles to defend their flanks.

My spear is also a female knight killer >＜

>>85

Put away that fruit knife.

The reason there were few cavalry soldiers in Japan during the Sengoku period other than Takeda.

There are few places where cavalry can be used in Japan’s terrain.

It’s always a common practice to fill the front line with veteran soldiers, regardless of the era.

Are you scared?

>>87

Not at all?

But being at the front is a little bit unpleasant.

The longbow’s range is too long! It’s prohibited, prohibited!

>>93

When I was using a composition of cavalry and longbowmen, I was thoroughly beaten by the Scottish schiltrons and cavalry.

If the opponent is a turtle, cavalry and archers are fine, but if they come rushing in, infantry and archers are better, right?

There aren’t as many flat areas as you might think.

France and Poland, of course, develop cavalry.

During the Napoleonic era, Napoleon’s Imperial Guard was strong because they could continue shooting without fear, even as many around them were dying; not being afraid on the battlefield is stronger than one might think.

The image shows the most well-trained and well-equipped heavy cavalry dismounted and organized in a line with long spears.

I lured in the enemy’s reserve cavalry with tactical placements and defeated them, achieving victory in the operation.

If you form a square with muskets and bayonets, cavalry will be easily dealt with.

That said, there will also be cavalry that decimates the formation.

A frontal assault is the glory of heavy cavalry, but disruption and finishing blows are also part of a cavalry’s duties.

In Japan, samurai were raised not to fear death.

Death in battle is counted as a military achievement.

In that case, the stability of the home was guaranteed.

Even though guns are strong from the start, they only became truly powerful weapons that can be easily fired much later on.

Early guns were difficult to handle because they required several attachments, similar to a longer spear.

Both the users and those being used are still at a stage where it can be managed with some ingenuity.

Even in WW1, cavalry was still somewhat lively.

Of course, we won’t do a simultaneous attack or anything like that.

Bang! Doesn’t the sound of the bell scare the horse?

>>108

Train

>>108

Of course, I will train.

If you can’t do it, you might as well be a pack horse.

>>108

During the Boshin War, the commander of the shogunate army’s horse was startled by the sound of gunfire.

There should have been a case where the unit suffered a total collapse due to reversing.

If anything, cavalry is used in modern warfare as well…

The term “Dragon Knight (Dragoon)” looks and sounds way too cool, right?

Just being faster than people means you will always have a purpose, right, horse?

If I make use of my mobility as mounted infantry, I think I could survive quite well.

Even among cavalry, light cavalry and heavy cavalry have completely different roles…

The spear blanket will collapse to some extent where it was thrust in.

If you can’t shoot rapidly, you’ll be out of luck if someone gets too close.

The fact that Japanese matchlock guns are actually high-performance among that type of firearm is not widely known.

Those guys who ride mares are no good!

Let’s shoot with guns from outside the spear!

>>124

It’s a Spanish pikeman.

The person with the spear is a veteran soldier.

>>124

Dragon knights didn’t become very popular either.

The power is still insufficient.

I don’t really understand the reason why the English dismounted cavalry or regular cavalry don’t charge in.

>>125

Close combat is easier to engage in on foot…

>>126

If the cavalry stops, there’s a risk of being dragged down…

>>125

The one that lost after doing that was Bannockburn…

I am reflecting on that.

>>125

It’s difficult to prepare for a horse.

I want to firmly protect my longbow.

I will also do my best with castle sieges, not just on flat ground.

A properly trained horse can run between the close blasts of cannon fire, so training is really important.

The Polish husaria could charge with the tips of their long spears lined up in a row, resembling a highly mobile spear formation.

>>132

At first, it seems crazy to scatter and then finally merge tightly with the horse beside you, charging forward without losing speed.

>>159

If you’re that strong, you must still be a powerful nation now…

>>170

You know what you’re saying, don’t you?!

>>170

I can no longer maintain such strength…

>>170

Even if you are strong tactically, you cannot overturn a strategic disadvantage…

>>143

Not at all.

But being at the front is a bit unpleasant…

>>145

So instead of the reward being doubled, there are only true men in the Lanzknecht.

Swiss mercenaries fighting with credit issues are costly but valued.

>>157

Doppelzelldner!

Not just in England, but archers themselves have ridiculously high training costs…

>>137

Crossbow: “I can make it cheap for you!”

Regarding the range

>>141

The training cost is low, but the procurement cost is high simply because it’s machine-made!

>>141

If you’re trying to gather your own numbers, it won’t work unless you have the industrial power to support a large-scale workshop!

>>137

It’s understandable that guns which can be used just by standing straight in a group and pulling the trigger are becoming popular.

It costs a ridiculous amount of money, but…

In M&B2, it was reassuring to mix in strong infantry with pikemen or boldly create units made almost entirely of pikemen and spearmen to act as a wall against cavalry.

In the 19th century, European cavalry began to prioritize speed and started to assemble horses from Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

I love how the Scottish cavalry using traditional sturdy horses reminiscent of the Middle Ages becomes relatively powerful in tactics.

Cavalry also requires skill.

If you can’t handle a horse properly despite having good leadership, to be honest, you’re just trash.

To be honest, the cost of training people and horses is incredibly high, so unless you’re a wealthy strong nation, it’s better to just have infantry.

Archers require gold and time for training.

Cavalry requires gold and time to train.

Then the cavalry…

>>142

Samurai: “It takes a lot.”

>>142

Since childhood, they’ve been shooting bows and riding horses, which is why nomadic horse riders are so strong.

>>152

The problem is that there are areas where cavalry cannot do anything due to the terrain.

In places like Vietnam, terrain debuffs are extremely high, making it very difficult for cavalry.

At times like that, the ability as an infantryman becomes essential.

>>161

If you go to a battlefield’s forest area with horses or vehicles, you’re just an idiot.

>>152

I’ve been told this, but the techniques used as mounted archers and those used in hunting are quite different, so in order to effectively use nomads as mounted archers, they need to be trained rigorously.

It’s nice, the battle of Claysie.

With this massive haul of full plates, I can play until I die.

There are various types of troops, but soldiers ultimately cost money no matter what.

War really wipes out resources at an incredible pace…

I feel like the problem with the crossbow is not the range, but rather the rate of fire and the inability to shoot in arcs.

Without being scared of cavalry charges, accurately aim the tip of the long spear, which is exhausting to just hold, at the center of the rider.

If you’re a true man, you should be able to do at least this much.

Mongolian crazy uncle is here.

Not everyone, but the skeletal structure and shape of the dominant arm of longbowmen are quite different, you know…

When it comes to cavalry archers, life should be devoted with the kind of momentum that makes it seem like everyday life is being a cavalry archer… it’s impossible otherwise.

The horse-riding nomads are already tied to their way of life.

Arrows are expensive.

Bring out the cheap Irish soldiers.

Cavalry that melts away after charging at spear soldiers, a common occurrence in the Total War series.

>>168

I want the cavalry to maneuver to the side or behind as much as possible.

Basically, the hammer and anvil tactic is strong, isn’t it?

Nomadic tribes have a basis for horseback riding, but turning them into proper cavalry that can be used in war is quite challenging!

In the end, do I have to spend money or time?

It is not an enemy that can be charged with just cavalry.

I want to play M&B2 again.

The Polish Army would be strong in modern times…

The true strength of cavalry is not just their tactical impact and mobility from charges, but their overwhelmingly faster strategic speed on land compared to other branches.

>>181

The strategic speed is really strong.

Whether it’s flanking enemy troops or conducting reconnaissance, speed is rarely a disadvantage.

Mongolia’s strength is not in shooting arrows but in the image of quick assaults from a feigned retreat that utilizes speed.

Actually, Poland still has a relatively high military power in Europe.

Especially in the past few years, they seem to be suddenly expanding their military for some unpleasant reason.

>>183

It’s like a bitter enemy country is waging war.

War costs a fortune to the point of death.

Maintaining territory costs an incredible amount of money…

The Polish Army’s armored units are still world-class today.

Especially recently, its importance as a defensive line has increased.

Even the strongest cavalry ended up unable to do anything when they were forced into trench warfare by digging holes everywhere.

>>186

Cavalry is still doing relatively well even in the era of trench warfare.

Although it tends to be underestimated as a creation, the main body of a bow and arrow is the arrow, so if you can’t invest in the arrow, the quality of the archers will ultimately decline.

I know world history from HOI4, but the Polish cavalry conquered Europe.

>>189

Logistics, logistics!!

Even with money, time, and resources, we can still be defeated by nature…

First, let’s train together by shooting beasts during the hunt.

Next, when we shot the king together, the elite soldiers were completed, right?

Even for mounted tribes, the bows used for combat and hunting are fundamentally different, and training is necessary to adapt to tactics and strategies.

Even horses need training because the environment is too different between the battlefield and hunting.

It’s too much of an illusion to think that it can be used directly for military action.

Fusaria itself had a strength that could potentially turn the strategy around if there were enough of them.

It takes money and time, so I can’t even gather them in the first place, and on top of that, it collapsed due to internal strife.

The M&B Napoleonic Combat allows you to enjoy the brawls between line infantry, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry!
