Ottoman query

I have raised the issue of "armoured" Janissaries elsewhere on the forum, but I have just started a DAG game with my later Polish army against a Moldavian army. In the ranks of the perfidious Moldavians are Ottoman allies, some of which are described as "armoured Janissaries"!! :shock: But the thing is they are not actually "armoured", they are only "protected" - just the same as the bog standard Janissaries in the main Ottoman lists (they cost 10pts). I have found this in the Ottoman allied choices for the Wallachian list too.

Is this a mistake? Should there actually be properly "armoured" Janissaries as an extra choice in the DAG. Historically, some Janissaries did wear plate mail. Thanks.

The name is the issue and open for suggestions for a better one but the protected and unprotected Janissaries needed different names for the game system. They must each have unique named. So armoured for the protected ones seemed most appropriate. Keith
