To represent usual historical proportions in European armies of this period, ignoring artillery, the army cannot include more than 1 battle foot unit more than it has battle mounted units. (e.g. If you have 5 BGs of mounted battle troops, you can have up to 6 BGs of foot battle troops).

Does that only apply to European armies?

It depends. If I don't think it will break the theme I may make exceptions, but I am not going to let anyone "clever" pull a fast one. What did you have in mind?

What about the Japanese?

There are no Japanese. Their list only goes up to 1615.

Well if you want to field an army consisting of 1 man....

Indeed - luckily, he's the quartermaster: not only does he know where all the others are, he's been keeping the armour and weapons clean all this time.

9 different armies out of 14 entrants - should be very interesting.

Thanks to all who took part for making the umpire's job so easy.

Big thank you to Richard for organising the competition.
Thanks also to my partner Stephen Stead for ensuring I did not make the mistake that would have meant we lost a game - won all 4 games and still came second!!!!!
Finally but not least a thank you to our four opponents - Jon and Pete, Richard and Tom, Ray and Keith and Wayne and Lynette (just ask Lynette about have great dice rolling when she lost a BG in one turn when she had nearly smashed ours to pieces).

Echo Bob's thanks and no I did not lend Lynette Bob's dice for her spectacular implosion.
