From the errata:
So Assult Kommandos, Strakhov, MOW Shockies, Irusk 1 (?), the MOW Kovnik, and any of their friendly bystanders thank PP for this logical rules update.
Now we just need our themes for the MOW and AKs.

It helps MoWs with CA a lot. Since they usually have an equal or better chance of hitting their buddies with the assault attack...

I once assaulted in 6 Shocktroopers.
I killed 3 of them with assault shots.

I once Assaulted in with some Storm Lances...and killed none of my own models but the electro-leaps killed the target any way. Fixed. |

Cheers, Dave tell me about it, our uhlans are very good, except when they're engaged because pow10 is just pitiful (i know it's a pommel strike, but still...at that point make them like actual mounted knights where they had a sword resting on the horse's back whenever the use of a lance would be too cumbersome, i'd change the pommel strike to sword with pow 12 instead of pow10) |

I think Uhlans should be given flails. It's a mounted weapon that saw quite a bit of use by knights since shields were not as effective against it. And it would give the Uhlans the cool chain weapon rule. Then I might, (maybe) consider dropping $80 on a 5 man unit that seems to be pain in the ass to assemble.

He's sorta like an Uhlan.  |

There you go, it's already in faction so not a huge stretch then. I thought he had it but I don't own him. He's a beautiful model in my eyes but more than I can afford right now so I haven't looked at his card in ages . . .

Unfortunately it IS a stretch to change the weapon of a model that clearly doesn't have it. Possibly they could do an alternative heavy cav that fits this? Really though, PP should just kill the 'Lance' rule in all instances. |

I agree but Will said that the rule was here to stay. My idea was the flail would be in place of the pommel strike. I'd pay a couple of dollars for a set of flails to add to the models. They already have this in place for some of the character jacks like torch so it isn't completely a new idea.

I don't think they are likely to change the rules on an existing model to add a weapon that is not reasonably represented on the model (Torch already had smoke launchers on the model that were visually quite close to the Spriggan's grenade launchers, so it wasn't such a stretch to change the rules). They could change the stats on a weapon though; though could eg. change the Pommel Spike to be RNG 1" P+S 12 or something.
I do like the idea of flails though, perhaps as a new unit (so we could have "Uhlan Lancers" and, say, "Uhlan Skirmshers").
