List Queries / Re: Medieval Welsh list
March 26, 2023, 09:32:05 PM
Both Cynan and Merioneth are "old" areas in North Wale. So it seems logical that be included in a North Wales allied contingent. On the other hand as they were the best troops in the North (outside the Teulu) there may have been a reluctance to send them as aid.

Forces from North Wales seem to have favoured the spear over the bow, while those from the South the opposite. The troops from Cynan and Merioneth were considered better that the rest of the troops from North Wales. Likewise in the South troops from Gwent were considered the best. 

The list also seems to be missing any of the French aid that Owain Glyndŵr received from  1402-1405. There were small French contingents at Stalling Down (1403), and French Forces landed at Milford Haven (1405).

I play a lot more RED than MEG. They are two different games trying merge elements of them ignores this fact. And I more that happy with a slower game.

I've been challenged for a OneDrive accout as well, however if I click anywhere on the screen (except for the account box) I can then proceed to the lists screen.

I'm with Mr Oz on this. There is a reason every ancient rules sets I have used have "rubbish" troops in them be they loose archers who'd rather be anywhere else or peasant spearmen who crumble on first contact. You don't always get a stellar army to fight with. Make the most of what they can do rather than want you hope they'll do

It makes them "Devastating Chargers" with the benefits of that. And you can add "Mele Expert" If there is no new or changed weapon then there is no additional weapon type. The lance is covered by the DC characteristic.

Is it not possible to place what is in effect a hyper link to the army history below each list, so a click and you are there, or place each version of the list in succession and the history below.

More of a suggestion, rather than hard information. But as some of the originals were from Aragon and surrounding areas red and yellow might prominent colours. Equally as many of them were from the mountains much more drab colours might be more logical.

I've been tempted for almost as long, but I need to shrink the lead mountain first.

I think this is the line you are looking for:

Medieval - Italian Wars - Pre-Cordoba Trastamara Spanish and Trastamara Spanish.  Italian Elmeti dismount as Drilled Close, Average, Fully Armoured, 2-H Cut & Crush (Poor if downgraded to Poor).

List Queries / Samanite 396-272 BCE

The Smanite list has an option to upgrade Samnite foot, but it seems to be a repeat of the orginal line:

Orb; so if I have a unit of 8 I can use Orb, the unit drops to 7 and it can't, and then down to 6 and I have Orb again?

I should be there, work permitting. But I'll be on the Warlords table if Trevor puts on a game, if not I'll be happy to help out.

List Queries / Re: Late Ptolemaic

Mobs tend to be fairly useless, and not like to be dragged along on campaign with the exception of the peoples crusade. Take a look at the lists to see examples. I would tend to class them along the lines of:

Tribal Loose Unprotected Poor or Average plus any Special Characteristic you feel applies: Combat Shy, Aggressive or Fleet of Foot spring to mind. And in large units 8,9 or 10.
