Slight risk of an all Samurai comp if using the earlier period.

Aztec would eat them alive!
Thanks Paul.

I think the Tupi would be more likely!

My opinions for your entertainment.
1] Leave it open.
2] Matching "scary" mounted to Warrior will make some armies difficult to field unless you open the date range (Korean for instance). Personally I think 12 bases is sufficient. It needs to be phrased as "Battle Mounted" to cover all eventualities. LH is a delicate balance; sure they get the +1 in Impact but then only half dice (with possibly an advantage but maybe on evens) and often they will be overlapped at double+in Melee. Against well played Warriors it would be buttock clenching time to go in!
3] Both books let people have a go with what they have or fancy: Wokou Pirates anybody?

what even allow Ikko?

Why Not?

But... That means we might have to allow Don to use his Hawaiians!

I do actually have a fully painted Wokou army that has not been used since DBR.....

Dare ya!

Suggestion. Keep the dates as originally proposed (or even extend them if you wish) but make it as follows:

Armies with no more than 10 bases of mounted and/or Firearms - 800 points
Armies with more than 10 bases of Firearms - 750 points
Armies with more more than 10 bases of mounted - 700 points.

How does that sound?

The only issue with 12 cav limit is that armies like Tibetan has a 16 cav minima...
But if they are not included it's no great loss to the warrior armies!

Yep I did not check things like Tibetan. Still we have had a number of recent Mounted heavy comps so a tribal mostly Warrior style comp would be a nice change.

Looking at dates:
Jan Usk
April early Rollcall, late Oxford
May Early Campaign
July London
September Southampton
Oct Derby and The Oxford Pairs
Dec MK
How does either mid March or early June sound (I'm on a residential trip 22-26)?

Do not forget Challenge 18-20th June
Currently I can do March 6, 20 and 27
June 5 and 12

March 6th
June 5th
June 12th

Steve you do realise March 27th is Easter Sunday?

Yes, but my religion is wargaming and so it would be like going to Church for me

Fair enough I have some sympathy for that view.
