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.

Re: Army composition for inexperienced players
I agree that such examples could be useful - although there are *quite a lot* of 'most common armies'.

Re: Warriors - Attacks Petering Out...?
Ah, okay. I'm with you now. I was reading it quite literally (black and white), and missing some of the colour in between.

Warriors - Attacks Petering Out...?
Under the description for Warriors, it says: "Infantry relying on a fierce initial charge that can shatter close-order infantry. Their reliance on individual and group aggression means their attack peters out quickly if the enemy survives their initial charge." However, I can't find anything in the ...

Re: No Supporting Missile Troops
I'll be placing an order for them shortly. The bulk from Essex, because they got most things correct re chariots and clothing/equipment. However, I plan to replace the chariot horses with Old Glory's Assyrian chariot horses because they're really nicely animated, and see if I can also replace the lo...

Re: No Supporting Missile Troops
OK, cool. Thanks.
Here's another combo that I think would work well for the Mid Assyrians:
4 x Chariots 16
3 x Raiders 12
1 x Skirmisher 3
4 x Levy Bow 8
2 x Light Foot 6
1 x Skirmisher 3
15 stands 48pts
The Skirmisher with the Light Foot would probably stay a Skirmisher.
Cheers.

Re: No Supporting Missile Troops
OK, I think I understand all that. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
So what is the actual benefit of the 'skirmish screen' in play? i.e. precisely what benefit does it confer?
Cheers

Re: No Supporting Missile Troops
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...

No Supporting Missile Troops
There doesn't appear to be any provision for supporting missile troops in the rules.
e.g. archers behind main body of spearmen (Assyrians, etc)
Why not?
Cheers

Re: TMP BATREP
I queried how the Bow Levy went in that battle, but there hasn't been a reply yet.
