Arab Conquest list error?
Should the foot warrior BG size be 6-9 (or 8-12 even), rather than 8-9? Reason I ask is the minimum total bases after 638 AD is 12, it don't make sense...

Nope, it should be 8-9, the minimum is the odd thing here - although by taking 16 you will have met the minimum so who cares.

My point, why not have made the minimum 16? Pah, list writers, uselessnikgaukroger wrote: Nope, it should be 8-9, the minimum is the odd thing here - although by taking 16 you will have met the minimum so who cares.

The numbers given in the list are actually correct and make sense when you consider the fact that the foot warriors can be deployed as either all Off Spear BGs or mixed Off Spear/Bow BGs.
If you are taking a mixed BG, the BG size is 9 (6 Spear and 3 Bow) and the minimum number of spearmen from 638 AD is 12, giving you 2 BGs. If you are taking them as all Spear, then the BG size is 8 and two BGs give you 16 which is greater than the minimum.
