Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Ewan McNay]

Just wondering whether anyone else has had thoughts on which FW armies
are, perhaps, better than others.

On a casual examination, those I would be attracted to include Inca
(perhaps), Vijayanagara (one of very few to get 8 units), Medieval
Vietnamese (killer elephants - better than the Burmese!), Khmer, Early
Burgundian (seven units is rareish in the knight armies, and all useful
w/ good K). Interested in comments.

[One could also consider which armies *not* to take... I think that
Fujiwaran would be hard (not) to beat.]

Well Ewan,
I've also pondered this mighty question of universal understanding. When
considering FW armies, the size of the table helps to make otherwise worthless
armies stand out--i.e. no room for enemy to run, enemy doesn't have enough
missile fire to hold you, few skirmishers, etc. I like, for a few particular
reasons the following:
Mycenaean: enough LTS armed MI to push most mounted off the table. Besides they
look cute.
Polybian: Got to love that new Roman exchange rules and with a few LTS armed
Triarii mounted are easily cornered.
Arab conquest: Everyone's IrrA, so on a small table, charge and roll up win or
loose.
First Crusade: IrrA HC, frankish B with JLS, and a large block of pilgrims make
for an exciting army that neither gives nor recieves quarter.
Burgundian Ord: I love the idea of SHK and LMI HG working together, and with the
new"ish" LB rules firepower is effective enough. Blue and white look good
together.
Med Vietcong: I agree with you totally. Killer El shooting away all that stand
before and just enough crap to clean up the remnants.
Feudal Japanese: Just because.
Araucanian: Have no idea who these people are, but with LMI J/B/sh or LTS/B/sh,
they seem taylor made as a new world army to fight well against Aztecs or
Vikings or most any loose order foot army.
