    Thank you guys for the response. Although I think ffrom the text in the rulebook cimng with the HYW it is quite clear that caps apply to both units, I still see the benefits that you guys point out. Maybe not worth using a specialist card slot (if you play with only two specialist cards) to get them, but Horn blowers seems like a nice addition in a scenario.

     How exactly do the horn blowers work? Let's for argment's sake say that I have a horn blower embedded in a blue banner infantry unit. When they've "called" an adjacent unit of green banner infantry into a fight against an enemy unit og spearmen. After this is carried out (according to the rules), can the green banner unit make its own attack as well (since it also is ordered this round)? If not, what's really the benefit of the horn blowers?

     Thank you for the swift reply. I find it weird, though. That Spear has no advantage over the shortsword against mounted units. I always interpreted the (misunderstood) ignore one bonus hit from Mounted units as its bonus against Mounted. Too bad. Well, they are quite good nonetheless, especially bold.

     I love the Dwarven Spearmen! They have rocked in every game I've used them. But today, I got the Hundred Years War expansion and saw the rules for the Halberd and I got really uncertain if I have understood the Spear rules correctly.  On th Spear card it says:

    "Bonus strike: - Yes on <sword and shield>". And then it contiues: "Special: Against Mounted units, one <sword and shield> rolled is ignored."

    I always thought this was supposed to mean that when a spear unit is attacked by a Mounted unit, it ignores one bonus hit from the attacker. But as I read the Halberd rules I get uncertain. Halberd rules read: 

    "Bonus strike: Yes, on all <sword and shield>, even against Mounted units."

    Does this mean that Spear does ignore one bonus hit when attacking Mounted units (like the Shortsword)? (I.e. if it rolls three bonus hits, it only scores two hits?)
