A ...There is a similar thought in Field of Glory. <br /><br />A number of armies have a Mob in them - literally a collection of peasants, wives and children (for the early British, the Gallic warriors, Spartacus slave revolt etc.) or other unwashed individuals.<br /><br />On first glance they are useless - a couple of points per base at best and with no combat ability at all. <br /><br />But they can be used to screen movements of other troops, to hold up an advance (not for long admittedly) allowing a flank or rear attack to develop, as cannon fodder to soak up missile fire while slower moving troops get into position for an attack or to simply tie up your opponent on one flank as you move your better troops around on the other.Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.com
