Impressive! These armies are nicknamed 'cockroaches' over here. One of our club members specialises in winning DBM/LAdlaG competitions with them. I'll nudge him to give Triumph a go.

Some very good points there and I'll just come back on a few. 1. 'Trained' is perhaps the wrong word for me to use in this context. A better phrase might be 'learn to use'. Most archers would have learned to use the bow before joining up, for sure. I was seeking to differentiate Bow Levy, made up of...

I'm having difficulty convincing myself why Bow Levy can't shoot. The rules say they are “… untrained in volley fire, and provided with smaller supplies of ammunition.
