Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Todd Schneider]

With the release of Oriental Warrior, one of the lists I have been
playing attention to and fiddling around with is Later Tang Dynasty.

There are two reasons for this: The troop combinations are pretty good,
with enough variety to construct several different types of lists that
cater to a players style, and because of the Oriental Warrior Lists, it
is the one that is most similar to the list I play now, Araucanians.
Well, Koryo Koreans come very close as well IMO. In fact, from my POV,
both lists are Araucanians with Mounted troops. Currently I prefer the
Tang list, but that could change in the future.

Anyways…Here’s a list I’ve been looking at for awhile.

CinC 2E ½ Reg A; ½ Reg B, ½ EHC, ½ HC L, B, Sh @ 201
SubGeneral 2E ½ Reg A; ½ Reg B, ½ EHC, ½ HC L, B, Sh @ 131

Jian’er Skirmishers 2E Reg C LI CB @ 22
Jian’er Skirmishers 2E Reg C LI CB @ 22
30 Mina Stonethrower 2E Reg C 4 Crew Artillery
Total 1601 Points

Total Scouting Points 37

This list is all about splitting fire, and PROBE, using it's own bowfire
to disorder enemy bodies so as to get the unpromted charge off. The
upgrades of some element to HI/LHI help the survive Shieldless shooting
a bit better, and hand to hand in most cases as well.

Comments, questions, math errors??

This seems to be a very inefficent way to take these troops. As
costed above, they are set up to fight 3 ranks deep with a 2 element
facing, but they can't do that, so the rear rank has no purpose
other than to increase unit size. All MI, I think, would be a
better choice.
