Bastard on a horse

[Sawbone]

Yeah my father was the milkman - learned it today.

Other than that, if I use a Heavy bastard sword on a horse (without a shield), will I be using the 1H or 2H skill?

Cheers,

with shield : 1h without : 2h

Thanks very much

i tried 2h on horse but it was hard. Your weapons are slower on horse,i would suggest you go 1h cav instead 2h.
But i must say this,i saw one dude with morningstar on horse and he was awsome. I think katana is better choice if you realy want to be 2h cav.

Use shortened military scythe on horseback, it's damage is great, it's length is great and it has decent speed even when downed.

Damn, couldnt find an image of jon snow on horseback to feed this thread..

Morningstar is a great weapon from horseback, that much pierce damage with a speed bonus easily negates the loss in swing speed and raw damage given. I can guarantee its more than possible to top scoreboards as 2h cav and its a whole lota fun.

1h cav does have many advantages over 2h cav, but 2h is arguably more effective on foot.

24/15 Morningstar cav = win.

1 shot people up to 50 armor if you are running top speed.  2-3 shot plate crutchers like Serge.

Yeah that is true,but how you menage to get so close to enemy unnoticed? Usualy if enemy is aware he will kill you or wound your horse.

Wait until they engage other infantry or attack distracted enemy.  Bump/Slash dueling enemies.  Flanking in general.  Favorite tactic is rushing the main group when the round starts, having the archers shoot while infantry chase you splitting infantry and archers and engaging archers once there is some room between the 2.

Take a heavy horse, warhorse balances good armour with decent speed

If you want to use a fast/agile horse you will need to use a longer weapon for sure.

i tried 2h cav with light horse and it was total fail. It dies so easily,but i notice that mamluk cav don't care about dmg or enemy awernes. they just charge,and kill.

Champion Large Warhorse is best.

champion war horse is my fav, smaller target for archers

[BlackWhite]

Same size no? Little bit better stats on the Large, and fits Viking theme a bit better ;)
