A game last night saw my camp followers attacked in their camp by Hun light horse. As far as I could see, the camp followers had a factor of 0 against mounted with +2 for the camp, making a 2-2 attack. Needless to say the camp followers broke and ran and my Franks went down to defeat. In the Rules As Written (RAW) I don't see the camp followers getting any other factor defending the camp against mounted. But then I have been known to overlook juicy tidbits in the rules.
I've seen indications here that they have a factor of 2 against all comers while in camp, but wonder if that is a house rule.
Please help the rules-reading-impaired.
An AAR is in the works sometime today or tomorrow.
Edit: Hmm, that heading should be camp followers. Can't figure out how to correct the heading.

I believe Camp Followers defending a Camp always use their factor vs foot, whether fighting foot or mounted. It's only if they sally out from the Camp that they become particularly vulnerable to mounted.

In fact, all troops assaulting or defending a Camp counts their factor vs foot - see p12 Close Combat against a City, Fort or Camp

Silly me, looking at the close combat factors. Turns out the part I wanted was right above it. Well, guess I won't make that mistake again.

Yeah, I should've said I have the purple book so all page numbers are 2 higher than the original. j |

Maybe you have the paperback? It doesn't matter much anyway, since it has been resolved before I made the same error again. |

Well, I only rejoined the community in 2019 so my purple book is the one where the pages numbers are 2 higher than the original, I guess. It is a paperback. It doesn't cause me too many problems (I am used to translating) but sometimes I forget when I post & give the page number in my copy rather than the one in the rulebook a lot of other people use. Just didn't want to sow further confusion by my references. Seems like something that could've been avoided but whaddaIknow? No biggie  Regards, j |

Strange that the paperback is numbered differently than the hard cover. I guess the publisher works in mysterious ways.

I think it's to do with which page each publisher regards as page 1. Some use the outside front cover, others the inside front cover. My purple book has page 1 as the first normal paper page in the book (with title & author credits) I'm not aware of any other variants apart from the original though.

The original version, 2014, hardback starts page 1 on the page with Introduction. The Title and Authors page and the Table of Contents are not numbered. I have other Lulu published books which begin numbering on the title page.
