I must agree that the Khmer list is merely dead men walking. The lack of swordsmen for the drilled foot is a killer; they are unable to offer any meaningful flank or rough terrain support. Also the army does not have the flavor of the army depicted on the monuments. I posted some suggestions for mod...
