personaly i would if possible go for knights as you count 2 dice per base in 4's that 8 dice 8! in combat plus in impact you count knightly lance over lance and normal you never need to monuvere knights just put them infrount of something to beat up and go straight for it also at a comp me and my da...

hi guthlaf with medieval armies you can get great shooters eg crossbowmen which work amzingly well against knights and cv + longbowmen which work well against almost anything. the reason you bring handgunners is to get the extra - in the tests for being shot at by handgunners even if they don't hit ...

Do any of these list cover ~1400AD - ~1500AD Japanese/Samuria? Or is that in a later book?

one gr8 thing that happend to me was my 5/6 bgs of fragmented archers no plus were in combat with a 4bgs of full on knights in the combat i hit with 1 dice they missed all 8 of theres and then they lost one base and were charged in flank next turn by spearmen great result

i would suggest 12s of averages and if using the later selecuid list buy the romans

as selecuids is my army and i practis against my dad who has roman i have a gd experience cv would do well as your elite but i would bring cataphracts for the armour plus never bring 2s as they sooooooooooo quickly also go cataphracts for if you play open comptions for knights at last resort but i w...

if there mf bring at least protected because your stuffed if charged as you can't flee but i would bring unprotected lf as it saves points and you do what lights do best run

like you said most romans but in my opion don't pay for one if optonal as it's only 2points don't break your battle line pull troops back

they attacy work very well although at 5's on impact your evens on meele as your hw is plus there sw is + and your hw clears armour but watch out for romans as there ssw and you dont get your hw +

also you should out match theem on bgs for extra dice.

as my starter army as well i suggest later selecuid from rise of rome book as it has pikes, real romans, elite cv and cataphracts creatans and lots of average shooters and a wide varity of extra gd troops
