Army Description for Djanesborg and the Fierazi

Armies of Djanesborg

NOTE - In order to determine the quality and equipment of these armies (for the mass-combat system) I have used the following assumptions:

1. The "standard" army unit is 100 men.
2. Smaller "Half-units" of 50 men may be used in some cases and are marked with a (1/2) -- TS will already be figured in.
3. Most army units will be "average" -- presumaby some are green, some are seasoned. Units noted as "elite" will have a quality of "veteran".
4. If a culture s constantly fighting (war, raiding, etc), all troop qualities wil be raised by 1 level.
5. Weapon types and missile weapons are based on the notes in the back of the culture book. Armor types are also based on those notes, or the pictures on the back cover.
6. If special weapon skills (i.e. the Novholm archers) are indicated, TS will be increased by +1 for each bonus. All bonuses will be noted.
7. Horse-weight usually equals armor weight.
8. Militia armor is lighter than army armor, minimum of L.

COMMENTS - Cultural weapons appear to be axes and heavy swords (heavy weapons) and spear (+1 archery). Looking at the picture on the back appears to be medium armor.

What this all means: The Baron of Novholm has 2 units of Heavy Weapon/ Medium armor archers with a TS of 900 each. If both units fight in a battle they add 1800 to the force TS and count as 200 archers for archer superiority calculations.

Fierazi Armies

Fierazi use heavy axes, longbows and spears. Armor is light. Due to their constant fighting, nearly all units are seasoned. Since some use spear and some use longbow, I am splitting the difference.
