The triarii are wider than the elephant which is why Wayne refers to them charging both units.

Both units would retire

Well of course as tournament organisers you are entitled to use any special rules you wish. However the intention of the rules is very much that skirmishers DO slow down close order troops, since them represent a threat.

Hi Guys,

The rule is not meant to apply to the Extraordinarii or Italian Spearmen, because as mentioned above they did not fight in the Triplex Acies. Sorry if the wording is unclear, it does refer to needing 5 hits instead of 4 to remove a base, so doesn't apply to a strength 3 base.

yes that is right

No he can't.
