Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

I'm a sucker for big irreg foot armies. I should know better, but I
can't help myself. I played Arabs and Byzantine armies in the late
80s and couldn't get into spending and hour manuevering on a flank
before the first kill happened. I love big clashes in the center of
the board (its a weakness).

I've tried terrain, LI, light cav, and Irreg B LHI,Jls,B,Sh and still
don't have solid enough flanks with my Russ. Most good players slows
me in the center, masses a combined arms attack on a flank and I'm in
trouble. I've tried refusing one end of the line, but gaps always
appear if the army doesn't push across the board at the same speed to
contact. I'm about to invest in a Bulgar ally contingent with a mix
of HC/LC and I'm contemplating using Pechneg allies with wagon lager,
but I've never used (or seen used) wagons. I love the army enough
I'm painting it in 25mm (have had it in 15s for years). Any sage
advise other than selling it on ebay and investing in an army with at
least a couple of regular cav. Any Viking or Saxon players out there?
