--- Quote from: commandant on October 26, 2018, 11:26:44 AM ---I used to run a unit of nine with Full Command and a captain in 6th.   I found they worked well, packed a massive punch and had some static combat res.

Was that 5-4 or 3-3-3 formation?

Fidelis von Sigmaringen:
3-3-3 does not have any static CR.

Warlord:
It had a standard. However can’t imagine much punch with only 3 models attacking. 5 and 4 is the go, because ranks calculated at beginning of combat.

commandant:
5 + 4 with lances.

That was 7 WS3 S5 attacks, 2 WS4 S5 attacks, 3 WS5 S5 (I believe, maybe S6 if the captain was S4) attacks and 5 WS3 S3 attacks.   They also had a banner and a rank so +2 Static Res.   They packed a massive punch, enough to sometimes break ranked units and certainly enough to roll up a line.

Also because chargers always attacked first they were often not taking much in the way of attacks back.
