This may have already been discussed so sorry if its a repeat. Can someone tell me about these abilities? The cattle riders are a pretty weak unit and having a special ability like "bull rush" sounds cool. I love my Goblin Slingers and would like to give them a boost too, though they do quite well on the killing fields. Thanks for any input.

What cattle riders do is give Dwarves a mounted unit, at the moment with Dwarves 'merely' a mercenary army it may not seem so great but and it is a big but when dwarven only armies come out ( ) they may well be their ONLY mounted unit which allows them to make use of all those lovely move mounted units only cards....

No, I don't think it has been discussed yet. I did a search on BGG and nothing comes up except for the post by Richard Borg saying he was going to try and give us more information on these two new attacks. But that was a couple of months ago. There has been nothing that I could find on it since then. If I were to speculate I would say the "bull rush" may be an attack where any flags rolled force the opposing unit to retreat whether or not they are bold. I know if a bull were charging at me I would definitely get out of the way. I have no idea what a "spike shot" is though it might involve an extra dice in the attack...maybe if they are on higher ground?

I was told what the Bull Rush does by Richard. But that was almost a year ago and I can't remember what it was. I should have written it down but I didn't expect it to take this long to see official word on it.
