Just looking to finish off my Museum Minis order. I know the book isn't out but we seem to have lost some of the teaser since the server got knackered.

If it's not giving too much away...Can the Elamite/Egyptian bow contingent be protected or do they have to be unprotected please?

And also what is the max number allowed please?

Thanks,

Steve

upto 6 bases of drilled unprotected medium foot bow. The Elamites, Kushites and Egyptians are effectively mutually exclusive, you can have one BG of MF bow.

Hmm... unprotected MF foot... might pass on them then :)

Why would you want them anyway? The Assyrian foot has plenty of shooting power of its own.

Cheap drilled MF missile troops are not to be sniffed at. OK, there is a lot of missile power in the Assyrians anyway but an extra BG of pure shooters could be handy IMO.

A fair shout :)

My excuse is I'm trying to help the economy by spending and was debating buying more archers but trying to be logical about what I needed and what I wanted. Don't need no Elamite archers but had they been protected I might have wanted to use them... some day...

But I did need more chariots... and some knights... oh... and one of those Trebuchets... so my duty is done today.
