Hi,

I have dabbled with Russians quite a bit. I like the Post-Mongol Russians
and used them this summer at Historicon with some success. I ended up fighting
Mongols so they got a pretty good historical workout as well. I lost ;-(
I can't find my 1600 point list, but below is a 1200 point list. I used my
Russian foot basically to cut down battlefield and skirmished with my HC
until opportunity to charge presented itself. The large units L, B are actually
pretty workable even without shields.

2E CinC IB HC L, B, w/PA 155
2E 2inC IB HC L, B, w/P 95
4E Retainers IC LC 1/2 B, Sh and 1/2 B 65
6E Retainers IC LC 1/2 B, Sh and 1/2 B 85
4E Dvor IB HC L, B 121 x 2
6E Lesser Boyars IC 1/2 HC and 1/2 MC L, B 133 x 2
6E Militia Bowmen IC MI B, Sh 97 x 2
4E Peasants ID LMI B, Sh 49 x 2

I have also used Bulgars as allies for my Russ in early periods to gain some
mobility. I pretty much like all of the Russian armies. I don't think they
count as 'killer' armies, but they are fun and respectable. Another trick is
to listen to Aleksandr Nevskii to get psyched up on the way to the game site.
I haven't run into any Teutons lately though ;-(

I know John gave me all I could take - I'm the Mongol player . I didn't
think, at first anyway, that the bow armed troops would be all that effective,
but John showed me otherwise. They did a solid job of reducing the frontage of
the army and harrassed my cavalry. The strength of the army was the mass
cavalry. Difficult to take all that shooting they dished out and they are lance
armed to boot.

Good battle. Got lucky.

Hi Todd,

Post Mongol Russians vs Mongols was a lot of fun. I liked my Russians, but I
still need to come up with how to deal with the small hordes of regular 2E
cav. Too many stings. I enjoyed the game.
