Clash of Empires: Army List Hungarian: I am a little surprised to see the Hungarian/Levy foot as Crossbow only with no option to make them bow armed. I havn't found any references to crossbow for these troops. Can you name the historical reference please. Also the Artillery compliment for this army can be up to 6 Heavy Guns but only 2 Light Guns !!! I thought this army was generally on the light side for artillery, can you explain the thinking behind this choice, thanks.

One of Karsten's IIRC - and he doesn't appear to have time for the forum these days FWIW the chances are his sources were German and Hungarian.

I'd hazard a guess that the artillery was based on Mohacs where, IIRC, the Hungarians fielded a fair number of guns.
