Hello,
The command section says :
A general may either be Feudal (in which case he must be Instinctive) or Communal (in which case he must be Professional and may not be Legendary). A Feudal C-in-C may have up to 1 Feudal sub-general, 1 Feudal ally general and 2 Communal ally generals. A Communal C-in-C may have up to 2 Communal sub-generals and 1 Feudal ally general. An allied general must command their own contingent. A C-in-C and sub-generals may combine their contingents. The minima and maxima apply to each contingent.
I understand that section, with the exception of the sentence highlighted in bold. What is meant exactly by that ? That minima and maxima are to be obeyed for the entirety of commands of same nature (Communal / Feudal) ?
Best,
Antoine
Always seems to take a while to get ones head around the Low Countries lists - I always feel I have to relearn it each time.
Basically in this list each general has a contingent which must meet the minima and maxima of the type of contingent it is - Communal or Feudal.
An allied general just commands the troops in their contingent.
However, the C-in-C and sub-generals treat all their troops as a single pool which can be allocated amongst them at the start of each game in the way that is usual for (most) other armies. So, for example, if there is a Communal C-in-C and 2 Communal subbies each general must have at least 9 bases of Guildsmen (and from 1330 2 bases of guns) but all of those could be commanded by any of the generals.
Does that help?
It does help indeed, thank you Nick.
Best,
Antoine
