Al-Andalus/El Cid

What book could I find a list for Al-Andalus (Moorish Spain - 8th century or later) up to the time of El Cid (11th century)?

Richard,

Unless I missed something, the Moors in Spain are only covered through 750 AD by the Umayyad list. I have not found any other list in "Decline and Fall" that indicates it might cover Moorish Spain and only the Later Grenada list in Storm of Arrows. I think I read the main Moorish armies would be in the Dark Age supplement.

You are right. My error. The Andalusian list to 1030 is in fact in "Wolves from the Sea" due out early in 2009. The el-Cid period list is in "Oath of Fealty" due out later in 2009. The principal author of both lists is David Caceres, who lives in Granada.

Ok, so a few months to wait for the lists I am looking for (Vikings and the Moors) in the same book. El Cid can wait I suppose.

Thanks!

No, I´m living in Pedro Antonio Street

, near the Cathedral were the Catholics Kings (Isabel and Fernando) are buried

.

If you want to visit Granada, i will pleased to be your guide

.

I had working in this army lists with Richard, Nick and Xavi, but I must to say, that I only helped Richard his is the boss

Andalusian list is included in the Dark ages book, and the Taifas period in the feudal book.

The Cid is included in the Taifa Andalusían army list, he was a christian legend, but he fought as mercenary mainly, some times allied with the muslims and some times as independent warlord, you could command Rodrigo in the Taifas of Valencia, Zaragoza and Sevilla.

I hope you will enjoy the list.

Cheers
