They don't exist yet (I didn't say that they did).

My point was that there are a lot of what might be considered 'most common armies'. Not just a handful, in other words. Although even a handful of examples might be useful.

Cheers.

I agree that such examples could be useful - although there are *quite a lot* of 'most common armies'.

Ah, okay. I'm with you now. I was reading it quite literally (black and white), and missing some of the colour in between.

OK, which begs the next question: Battle cards...? (Ah, just found the section on the forum about this.) This sounds like a screen out in front, protecting the better troops while they advance. What about in support from behind, shooting overhead? And re the latter (if included), how would a support...

e.g. archers behind main body of spearmen (Assyrians, etc)

Why not?
