An army is defeated once the number of its units falls below half, rather than, as in Neil Thomas's biblical rules in Ancient & Medieval Wargaming, once the number falls to a quarter.
This is, perhaps, not such a big change as might appear at first sight, at least when both sides start with eight units, as "below half" means three units and "a quarter" is two units.
However, I reserve the right in my battles to sometimes vary from the standard starting strength of eight units.
A battle beginning early in the morning can normally last 15 turns before nightfall.
Troops in difficult terrain use the same combat table as for fighting in woods.
Troops behind cover receive an extra die per base in the first round of a melee.
