Before playing, you need to know the basic Castle Cracker rules. For further insight, look over the Castle Cracker Advanced supplement. Roman regular soldiers are the armored fist of the Empire. Their most feared formation was the Phalanx. Troops in a shield ring or tortoise can only move at half speed.
All troops can use a shield wall.
Gauls, South Germans and Gladiators can also use a Shield Ring provided a leader is with the unit. Armor protection from missiles Armor protection works so long is the damage of the attacking weapon is lower than the armor's rate. If the weapon equals or exceeds the number, it breaks the armor. How we shoot A unit of men fires at another unit. Casualties are removed, starting at the front of the unit being hit.
