cordas said:A Contubernium (8 men) throwing pilum into a group of 12 charging celtic Swordsmen however is a different thing all together in gaming terms I feel that the suppression rule could / would work for this very nicely. If we had to change the rule name from suppression to intimidation then I wouldn't quibble overly about it, as long as it worked the same way.
Let's assume that 3 pila miss. 3 hit shields and 2 kill or incapacitate the Celts. That means 3 of 10 are shieldless but it won't stop the Celts from charging which "suppression" does
