Re: Kurdish cavalry
I was just about to suggest Not So Bad Horse myself. Great minds, fools, etc. But if the effect is just +1 CF, there seems no intrinsic reason to limit the card to just Bad Horse: you might one day decide some army needs killer Bow Levy or something, and then you could just apply the same battle ca...

Re: Kurdish cavalry
Can we call them "elite Bad Horse" or better yet, "not so bad horse" We should do that just to tick off the players who didn't like the name Bad Horse! I suspect that the other WGC Grey Eminences would nix the plan of calling them Mediocre Horse, NotSoBad Horse, FairlyGoodHorse, UnremarkableHorse, ...

Re: Kurdish cavalry
Maybe they could be budget Cataphracts? They lack the complete armour, but they're CC-oriented cavalry who, AFAIK, weren't noted for charging like Franks. -1 pt, -1 CF? Do they need to be faster? Budget Cataphracts, or Expensive Bad Horse. Same-same, more or less. If we are making them Budget Catap...

Re: Kurdish cavalry
Thinking out loud (this isn't doctrine by any means), maybe the solution is something like this: Rate them Javelin Cavalry; Give them a battle card that gives them +1 vs mounted, but takes away the Shatter result that Javelin Cavalry have on Knights and Cataphracts and Elephants. That makes them a +...

Re: Kurdish cavalry
The Kurdish cavalry are a tough case. They don't have bows, which eliminates Horsebow right away. And should eliminate Elite Cavalry, as you point out. If we do that the remaining choices are Knights, JavCav, and Bad Horse. They are too good for the latter, and not good enough for the former, so Jav...

Re: North-Western American 1100 AD to 1770 AD
Ah, very interesting! Looking forward to the list being ready. There are at least five NW American lists: Northern Maritime Nations Central and Southern Maritime Nations (perhaps going to be called California Maritime Nations, although they extend up into Oregon) Coast Range Nations Columbia Basin ...

Re: North-Western American 1100 AD to 1770 AD
What size battle (numbers of troops) is the right battle to picture when thinking army composition for a Tinglit army? It's hard for me to picture this above a skrimish level engagement. Same as the Vikings, more or less. The parallels to the Vikings are quite striking -- village sizes were similar...

Re: North-Western American 1100 AD to 1770 AD
Some bow levy, but lots of other stuff. The guys in wooden helmets and armor are particularly cool. There are some light spear, a bunch of other things.Bill Hupp wrote:I guessed bow levy when ordering figures.
Vic, awesome picture/logo.

Re: Cavalry "Shower Shooting"
So did you get what you need from Duncan Head? So no need to look more for this? Duncan gave me some useful information that allowed me to proceed. So yes, I "got what I needed". But "no need to look more for this" doesn't follow, because I'm extrapolating based upon a very small number of data poi...
