Mark

In response to "Probably not... so what": given that most
interactions in the game are between ahistorical enemies, Warrior is
either:

- A historical game system that examines the interaction of
ahistorical armies
- A game that balances the popular lists so that they're fairly
balanced for tournament play, disregarding history where neccessary.

If is the latter, there's no point getting worked up about history,
but if the former there's good reason for concern.

So which is it?

Have fun!

The answer is C.

Neither.

The lists are balanced against their in period
opponents, as Jon and Scott have said on many
occassions.
