Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

First of all thank you for all the comments - and apologizes for the
delay - friends from Germany visiting us reduced the time spent
before the computer quite a bit ;o)
Hmm - a lot to consider, but i will do so. Obviously Units in 2 - 4
Elements size seem to be quite common while over here we usually we
build units about 6 -8 elements strong (maybe a bit biased from the
average 24 figure Horse and musket battaillon), so the 12 element
knight units (yes they were elements not single figures) were bigger
than we were used to, but not that much bigger...
Anyway lots of ideas to experiment with. (Yes Ewan it was blunt
enough - (even) I got the point
Thanks again - especially Ewan and Mark for their extensive answers.

Cheers, (and a belated happy new year!)
