This page is for my Mail and Steel information.
Or, you can go back to /ArmyInformation
First, information on how Mail and Steel works.
How MnS Works
- HTH Attack Modifier
- If the troops can attack hth, the army can make hth attacks. Adjust the leader's hth attacks as follows
- + Magnitude Difference (min -3, max +3) successes
- + Troop average ((Dex + hth Abil)/2 round up) successes
- + Might
- Ranged Attack Modifier
- If the troops can attack at range, the army can make ranged attacks. Adjust the leader's ranged attacks as follows
- + Magnitude Difference (min -3, max +3) successes
- + Troop average ((Dex + ranged Abil)/2 round up) successes
- + Might
- Range is limited to the troop average
- Damage Modifier
- Adjust the leader's damage as follows
- + 1/3 troop average damage for that type of attack (round up)
- Minimum of Magnitude (not leader's Essence, unless Solo unit)
- Parries
- If the troops can attack hth, adjust the leader's parries as follows
- + Magnitude Difference (min -3, max +3) successes
- + Troop average ((Dex + hth Abil)/2 round up) successes
- Dodges
- Adjust the leader's dodges as follows
- + Magnitude Difference (min -3, max +3) successes
- Armour Soak
- The leader gains extra armour soak that cannot be bypassed as follows
- + 1/3 of troop average L soak (round up)
- Essence
- Adjust the leader's Essence for defensive purposes only as follows
- + Might
- Health Levels
- Unit health levels are as follows
- The unit has the leader's health levels, but
- When the army gets to incapacitated
- Reduce Magnitude by one
- "Heal" all wounds, i.e. start at full health levels for the lower Magnitude
- Check for Rout! ^_^
- Initiative
- Unit initiative is as follows
- + Leader's Charisma + Leader's Presence + d10
- + Drill
- - Magnitude
Secondrary Information
- Drill
- 1 Militia, 2 Mediocre, 3 Good, 4 Elite, 5 Superior
- Might
- Add any of the following that apply (each line contributes once) to all troops
- 1 God Blood, 2 DB, 3 Old DB, 4 Celestial Exalt with XP, 5 ...
- 1 talismans, 2 daiklave + 5mm armour, 3 essence discharge weapons, 4 first age weapons
- 2 dragon armour or warstriders
- 2 terrestrial exalts withat least two group Charms
- Valour
- Minimum of (Leaders valour) and (troop average valour)
- Order
- Close
- 2x HTH "skill" (presume this means Ability)
- 2x shield and cover bonuses
- 2x Enemy magnitude for missile fire only
- 0.5 x movement
- -2 hesitation difficulty
- Relaxed
- 2x (shield and cover bonuses) against missiles
- Skirmish
- +3 difficulty for Enemy archers
- 2x (shield and cover bonuses) against missiles
- 2x Enemy magnitude for hth attacks only (3x if enemy in Close order)
- 1.5x movement
- +2 hesitation difficulty
- Unordered
- +2 hesitation difficulty
- Attacks on Individuals
- These work as follows
- Against leaders, heroes and relays ... - Max (Drill, Magnitude) dice
- Against sorcerors ... - Max (Drill, 2xMagnitude) dice
- The unit defends normally (i.e. leader, adjusted for unit)!
- Damage is done to the individual. The unit takes no damage!
- Do Individuals Survive
- They sometimes do. ^_^
- Roll Wits + Willpower, difficulty max drop in magnitude for battle ... or take d10L
Comments
Note that the wording (e.g. for Drill) is mine, but the effects are as per cannon. ^_^ -- BrokenShade
Can a unit that has hesitated still parry an attack? - Malikai
Has anyone worked out if might and magnitude apply to solo units? I presume might does, but magnitude is iffy... According to the rules, a single celestial exalt has magnitude above zero, perhaps as high as 2. Since this may make a big difference in small engagements (and allow them to kill armies much better) I'd love to hear what people think.

While I'm thinking about Mail and Steel, something came to mind. Area effects don't actually get any bonus against troop formations that I can find... admittedly, you can't use single-target effects to damage legions at all... but the fact that a single guy with a sword often has more of an effect on a legion than someone casting DOoB (which seems to be designed to impede armies, based on the size and relatively low damage of the effect) is a bit weird. Artillery tend to have things made up by special rules for them, but what are people's thoughts on the area effect spells and their interactions with Mail and Steel?
