LA marignon guide

[Gregstrom]

I don't know that F9B9 isn't overkill. With all those attacks the flaggys shouldn't need the high attack value, and if they have AP damage from F9, why get the extra strength from Blood?

I think F9S9 is much more efficient than F9B9 personally.

Flaggies, Pros and Cons:

Pros,

Very Cheap for Sacred,
Buildable at any fort with temple,
Flails provide two attacks per round,
Good Synergy with H3 inquisitors,
High Morale (which gets even higher with Bless and Sermon).

Cons,

Low Protection,
Come with Afflictions,
Little Synergy with Crossbowmen.

I'm much more familiar with Flaggies from MA Mary, but they are largely the same late era, I think. Remember, they get two attacks with their Flails, making F9 an incredibly appealing bless for them. However, as has been said before, they don't have much in the way of survivability. The best way to give them this is either W or A (in particular W9 combines with F9 and flails to devastating effect). However, neither of these paths has much in the way of synergy for Marignon (I think). This is where S comes in. S9 gives them a bit more surviability, and when combined with fire summons Mary's angels. Furthermore, Mary gets the Baphomat Chasis, which makes getting F9S9 cheaper than any other Chasis I can think of. So, its a trad off.

Alternatively, you can buy fodder elsewhere to use as a screen so flaggies can get into melee range where they tend to win out right, especially for their cost.
