Sword And Sheild Sv, ruleing

[snoopholly]

Just trying to clear up the rule about wot save roll you get for haveing a sword n sheild, am i right in thinking that you only get the 5+ for having both items only if your unit has sword and sheild in the "weopons and armour" listing and not the "options" list, so if you chose to take a sheild from the otions at X pts/man you wouldnt get the Sv bonus.

Regardless of where it comes from, if you have a Mundane Hand Weapon (non-magic weapon or magic weapon that specifies Hand Weapon (very rare)) and a shield (magic or non-magic doesn't matter) then you get a bonus to your save to the front.

Is this rule just for inf or does it cover cav as well.

Only infantry can claim a bonus from hand weapon & Shield, cavalry get their armor bonus from being mounted (;
