I suggest that we have an instruction like:
They do not obey the normal deployment rules for mixed battle groups, but instead deploy with a front rank of spearmen and a 2nd rank of archers or corssbowmen. Any additional rank or partial rank can comprise either type.
The question is whether we should or should not have the last sentence.

I think it needs the last bit, otherwise we are saying that the formation must be two ranks. May need to look at the Early Polish Draby on this point as well.

Some wording changes required, I think
 Lancer banners do not obey the normal formation rules for mixed battle groups, but instead (except as a result of lost bases) must have a front rank of lancers and a 2nd rank with crossbow, bow or carbine. Any additional rank or partial rank can include either or both types.
You have document control at present - so can you alter the Koreans accordingly in case I forget.

OK.
