Excellent! Thank you!

Was just reading Conn Iggulden's Genghis books -- great stuff! Are these going to be covered by a future book?

Thanks! But if they had them with them -- would they have had holders or had to carry them themselves?

Did the crossbowmen at Crecy have pavises that could just be stuck in the ground -- or did they have pavise "holders" who held them in place as the crossbow guy loaded up?

An aside: it's incredible the "stuff" you have to figure out to play a wargame!!!?!?!?!

It looks like I need to pick up somewhere between 40-64 figures for this Battle Group.

How should they be armed -- pitchforks?

I guess they can't have any helmets or anything?

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know of any Voulgier miniatures in 28mm that I could check out? I've looked around but can't seem to find anything.

Thanks!

Here's the list of armies from the upcoming Eternal Empire -- Ottoman book:

So does it make sense to have BGs of dismounted French men-at-arms then too?

If the starter rules are 3 BGs of knights -- that would be 36 mounted figures.

English starter rules for dismounted men-at-arms are 3 BGs too -- but that's 48 figures.

So should dismounted French go 1 BG to 1 BG -- i.e ...

I saw the list of armies for Immortal Fire coming out soon: http://fieldofglory.com/catalogue/12.html

I'm planning a Medieval French starter army for Storm of Arrows...but I've always been intrigued by the ancient Greeks, Alexander, the Successors period, etc.

What armies are going to be most ...

Thanks for the link and info!

So would "regular" Men-at-Arms use this style weapon too -- or was it just the Voulgiers?

I guess I find it odd how there is a random unit of these guys in the starter army. I'm somewhat well-read on this era and never heard of them!?!?

I'm thinking of putting together a Medieval French starter army (as per Storm of Arrows) -- what is a Voulgier? I can't seem to find anything on this.

Also, French men-at-arms are knights -- so does that mean they are mounted? Why aren't there any infantry men-at-arms for the French?

Thanks ...
