Gaul 2x3Cv or (3/4Wb)

I think you are completely correct greedo.

I read it the same way as you.

Oh, I don’t know Paulisper.

A Cv against a 4Bd gives both parties 2 chances out of 36 of scoring a double, but the Cv also has 6 extra
chances out of 36 of recoiling on an equal score, thus exposing their adjacent mates to an overlap.
(Slight advantage to the 4Bd)

A single 4Wb against a 4Bd gives both parties 6 chances out of 36 of scoring a kill, but the 4Wb also has
20 chances of recoiling, thus exposing their adjacent mates to an overlap.
(Slight advantage to the 4Bd)

However, a supported 4Wb against a 4Bd has 10 chances out of 36 of a kill, and only 2 chances of
being killed itself, with 19 chances of recoiling and exposing their adjacent mates to an overlap.
(Advantage to the supported 4Wb...if you don’t mind having a slightly shorter battleline that is...
...and with a nearly 30% chance of being killed, the Bd’s will need reserves to fill in any potential
gaps, so they too are likely to have a shorter battleline as well...
...and foot won't pursue mounted, but they will pursue recoiling foot, and often find themselves
in rather unpleasant double-overlap positions)

Ah, decisions, decisions...

Thanks guys.

In all actuality I would probably take the 2Cv as well since I’ve already got 6Wb in the army and like mobility.

So the real reason for all this is that I have 43 Gallic figs, enough to make 6x4Wb, 4x3Wb & 6x2Ps. But I’m deciding whether or
Not to give a single Gallic at that extra option by sacrificing one of the Ps. Since a single Gallic army can only take 1ps anyway...

Now, a curve ball question: when I create a double Gallic army, do I have to take all 4Wb or all 3Wb, or can I take one army with 4Wb and one army with 3Wb and combine them? My guess is that I have to take all the same and I really should but I’m probably going to mix anyway and just call them solid or fast so that I can play a double army.
