Title: Northern Zhou trial list
Post by: nikgaukroger on January 17, 2019, 04:48:55 PM
Wondering what the brains trust think of this. Knocked up quickly as a potential for doing a Chinese army.

not bad, a nice offensive cavalry wing...missing shoot and charge to be fully effective, but not bad

Has a bit of a feel of my Nike byzantine desing from ITC.
Think its very nice.

Solid infantry blocking force.
Powerful cataphracts supported by other good cavalry.

My only comment is it feel C&C heavy.
Talented only useful if FM or commanding a big block of 4 which doesn't seem that likely.
Can you get a bit more troops from a bit less C&C?

I like it.  Good army.

Had wondered about that - I tend to design with maybe more command than I may need and then downsize rather than the other way.

Needs one more solid infantry TuG IMHO.

I think you are probably correct there.

What would you lose to free the points to do it?

There are 204 from the rubbish archer TUG, but then?

Do you need 4 Generals for 9 TuGs?

Are the squirmishers compulsory?

Skirmishers aren't compulsory.

Think I'd like 4 generals, but 2 comp and 2 med may be OK.

Certainly a basis for working out what lead I need  ;D

Yes I prefer that.
Stronger infantry centre to work around and you can spare 1 TuG to help cavalry if you need to.
10 discs good enough.
Like it.
