If I am up against a large number of skirmishers, I have to consider my options.
Champions and Battle Elephants are both good choices, but they are costly and the Battle Elephant is very expensive.
I am curious to see how Bengali Battle+Archer Phantos fare against Pikes and Skirms.
Perhaps the damage reduction makes it a viable option.
Light Cavalry is another option, but there is no Hussar so I am not sure if it is a good choice against Imperial Skirms or post Imperial Skirms.
I would appreciate any advice.
