Just like to say what an awesome website this is and the free availability of 650 lists is extremely refreshing.

So my question is that in the classical period Hun noble have short spear and the flexible troops do not.

In Early Bulgar - which is by any other name remnant Hun - the Nobles do not have a short spear but the flexibles do?!

It feels that this is a typo of some kind?

Thoughts please!!

Whilst the Bulgars included remnant Huns they are a quite different list, the difference is not a typo.

Differences in lists of similar "nations" can, of course, be a bit arbitrary, but allows different feel for different armies.
