Brilliant
so first analysis
3 TYW French, 3 TYW German, 3 Later imperial Spanish and 2 Early TYW Swedish (1/2 the armies) I suppose the surprise there is the Later Imperial Spanish but I think it has good options within the list and as allies, 2 Scots and a royalist to make up the Wars of Religion contingent for a total of 14 armies, surely an agreement for Scottish civil war battle first game it would look great, 2 lists each from cities of gold and Duty and glory and 1 each from Trade and Treachery, Clash of Empires and Colonies and Conquest. It looks fun, suprising how few League of Augsburg armies there are last year more than a third of the armies were from that period, as far me can't wait
see you there

Second analysis:
No full mounted army (Ottomans, Caucasian etc)
Majority if Infantry in each army should be on these type: 2 Keil, 4 warriors, 3 Tercios, 2 bayonets, 3 swedish brg, 7 S&P

I am borrowing it from Alasdair. (Though why he has it when it doesn't have any decent cavalry......)

Later Austrian Imperial has a LOT more quality mounted than you realize.

Yes, it's a very interesting mix. As for mounted armies Matteo, don't worry, I suspect a number of them will have more than you expect, certainly at least as many as the usual Ottoman!

I hope so, I'll have to do a lot of work in order to make all pikes stay in the hand baggage, I hope It worth the work

As opposition to my nearly all mounted and dragoon version of the French which has yet to see the light of day but will hopefully soon, Five 3's of Dragoons and 5 unarmoured determined horse seemed a bit brittle for Britcon especially when I have only played it once

Thanks for the vote of confidence Matteo, but looking at the quality this year, a top half finish will be good let alone forlornly chasing Alasdairs coat tails.

I've translated the post in the italian section but even if we find a volonteer the problem can be to find also a flight.
Other ideas ? players from other tourmenants ? we are the only odd ?
