Doubt the FC is worth it with this set up, and ditto the single HF BG (especially as it is Undrilled). More knights needed IMO, at least 3 BGs or even 4.

I think if you really want some reasonable non-LF foot as well as the Kn and LH you should look at ,say, Later Hungarian.

I went up to scotland with a later Serbian army a couple of months ago for an event, if I remember correclty it was IC 3 x TC 3 x BGs Knights (1 average and drilled) 1 x Wallachian LH BG 4 x LH Bow/Sword 2 LH Lancers and some LF.

Had a look at your list hope you don't mind me suggesting a few things

I would drop the LH down to one BG of 4 bases.

I would drop FC too you should't be doing any flank marchs.

Drop all Light foot to poor and take the bows in 6's

Drop the HF and the MF.

With the points gathered take more Knights.

I'm back up to Scotland next week for the Celtic Cup with a bit of game experience I have moved over to the Latter Hungarians as you can take Heavy foot Armoured Defensive spears drilled its the drilled that works well with the Knights and crossbows and handgunners. Having used both to me the Latter Hungarians just have it cause of the drilled foot.

Why the IC. You probably want to move first due to lack of light troops. Except the LF who should be hiding at the back unless completely safe. In a place where nothing can shoot them to any effect or catch them. Gives 45 more points to spend on upgrading your LH to more effective LH.

putting the arg into argumentative, except for the lists I check where there is no argument!
