As my Sassanid posts probably show, I've been inspired by that
list - which prompted some thought and off-group discussion about
the relative merits of the various EHC/El lilsts (Delhi,
Vijanaragara or whatever it is, etc.)
I think that I like the regular support (and cheap) troops
available to the Sassanids. But I'd be interested in thoughts -
especially as I know several folk here are delhi advocates.
