True. I'd almost discount any form of average cavalry anyway - their small unit sizes, the superiority of most other cavalry and the fact they are shot at evens makes them too vulnerable.

I thought FOG was rather bland now these single troop type armies comfirm it (just kidding ) I agree that the combined arms helenistics seem to suffer a greater learning curve than I thought . I am so glad these happen to be my favorite armies ,guess I could try the pike wall/steamroller but painting 64 stand of pike sorta sucks :lol:
