Which list for anglo-saxons ?
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 5:11 pm
Hi Guys,
I intend to do a matched set of armies, for arthurian england, circa 500ad. This is mainly due to the cornwell books and splintered lights minis. The list from the imperial roman book includes an anglo-saxon list for up to 500ad, mainly heavy foot, impact troops. I will have to wait until "wolves" comes out next year to get the british list, but would the list from the roman book cover arthurs enemies best, or would the middle saxon list be more appropriate ? The books are set at 500ad, and so are at the threshhold of the two lists ? I ask because I assume that the impact foot will turn into spearmen with the middle saxon list and I dont want a bunch of guys waving axes if they should have spears.
Thanks for any input
Phil
