Light Foot type in HOTT.

If you send your e-mail address via a private message to MedievalThomas,
he will send you a copy of his D3H2…which combines DBA 3.0 and HoTT 2.1,
allowing all the troop types to be used together.

Alternatively, have a look at the first page of this:-
static.wikia.nocookie.net/fanaticus-dba/images/3/33/DETAILED_CRIB_SHEETS_for_HOTT_2.1.pdf/revision/latest?cb=20190123092614

And here is what the above says:-
The HoTT rules work quite well with DBA elements to make historical looking armies, but I find that one troop class, that of Auxiliaries, is sadly missing.
What is needed is some sort of fast moving medium foot with a relatively low combat factor that is unaffected by any bad going terrain.
HoTT Warbands work quite well in this role, but to be a little bit more historical, I suggest the following minor rule adjustments for this new troop class:-
- Aux are the same as HoTT Warbands, but they neither give nor receive rear support, do not pursue, and they are not quick-killed by Behemoths (unless doubled).
Ordinary unchanged HoTT Warbands still represent the fierce charging impetuous tribal warriors that made up the bulk of the Gallic and Germanic armies.

Yes, I suppose hobbits army would looks more authentic with Light Foot type =)

I like it Zendor.

Although I would prefer HoTT Auxiliaries to have a combat factor of 3-3 (in DBA Aux
are the same as Cav), and limit their speed to 300 paces (having them moving faster
than mounted Knights seems a little excessive).
They’ll still be able to ‘break-off’ from heavier foot in Good Going, as they’ll be quicker.

Other than that, I like it. 👍

Thanks stevie , I agree that the movement can be reduced to 300p, but I would not want to give LF +3 vs all because they will immediately become a real nightmare for Behemoths (as hobgoblin said). With +2 vs +4, LF can perform attempt to quick kill Behemoths, and this will not be too much I suppose (actually it'll be interesting combat). But +3 vs +4 with quick-kill is a serious bid to win and as a result it can too much weaken the role of Behemoths in the game.
However, I'll try it, and as I said before, if 2 pts is too expensive for such a Light Foot, I would better give them the ability to flee 300p from shooting when they are doubled.

I'll wait a little for some other suggestions, if any, and then prepare ver.2 of LF.

Interesting fact. In D3H2 Behemoths have +5 vs Foot and +4 vs others. Below, in the Traditional HOTT Combat table (page 18) Behemoths also have a +5 vs Foot.
We all know that in HOTT Behemoths have +4 vs Foot.
So, what is it, a typo? Who knows...

Well, this is the version 2 of my Light foot troops type.
As always any suggestions are welcome.

LIGHT FOOT v.2
Troop type: foot;
Cost: 2 pts;
Stand: 40x20mm;
Number of miniatures: 2 or 3;
Combat modifiers: +3 against infantry and citadel / +2 against others;
Tactical Move Distances: Entirely along a road: 400p; Good going: 300p; Bad going: 300p; River: 100p

TACTICAL FACTORS (page 22)
-2 Count this factor (once only) if any of the following apply, except vs. a stronghold:

• If any type except shooters, warband, lurkers, beasts, light foot or stronghold
  is in bad going on or off-road (whether in close combat, bespelling, bespelled, shooting or shot at).
  

COMBAT OUTCOME (page 23)
If its total is less than that of the enemy but more than half:
  Behemoths --- Destroyed by light foot. Flee 600p from magician, dragon or artillery. If not, recoil.
  Light Foot --- Destroyed by knights in good going or by beasts in bad going. If not, recoil.
If its total is half or less than half that of the enemy:
  Light Foot --- Flee 300p from shooting.

Comments.
I made them as fast as warbands due to their skirmish style moving. But due to loose formation and often light weapons they are a little weaker in combat against anyone who is not foot type, so only +2 against all others except foot. I gave them the ability to quick-kill Behemoths following DBA 3, where Auxilia and Psiloi can quick-kill Elephants in a provocation style combat (this opens an interesting way of creating light units of mad monster-slayers). Perhaps this will weaken the position of Behemoths a little, but I hope not so much (here I need to playtest it). I made them vulnerable to knights, also in the manner of DBA 3, and vulnerable to wild animals (beasts), which can tear apart light and few troops in the forests. Finally I gave them the ability to flee 300p from shooting when they are doubled, which corresponds to their flexible formations. I hope all this substantiates their cost of 2 pts.

P.S.  However, if they still look weak and do not justify the price of 2 pts, I have an additional idea to give them the ability to ignore the rear support factor of the enemy stand.
