Neo-Hititte with 3 ally generals? Asked by Josh Barton, 13 September 2024

Has anyone tried the Neo-Hittite list with 3 ally generals?

Is it fun(ny), and is it playable?

It's DBMM, give yourself 15 years and you'll be fine.

Andrew Cramptonit is kinda tempting, although three 1s and there's not much rolling going on

Unless they are in front. Makes it tricky not to attack an unreliable ally

Andrew Cramptonyeah that's a good point I think having to take the minima for each command puts me off. I can't just throw out a wall of Ax(O) or similar as a block that I can eventually make move if needs be

It can be a bit hit and miss.....

Actually no but I did try Early Crusaders with 2 ally generals for a few games. They both went unreliable in the last, and last, game with that command structure. It was neither fun or fun(ny) for me but hey go for it......

Ben Vartok yeah I imaging that one game in 216 where all three go unreliable will just be a forfeit

I ran Early Crusader with 3 allies. Certainly makes the first PIP roll exciting. The major problem is not unreliability but the requirement for compulsory troops with each ally.

Barry Norris aaaah I hadn't thought about that! That's a deal breaker, so thanks for the heads up
