				| Dear All,
 
 Trying to grasp the rules and develop a solid list...and I have decided to
 give the Song a try...
 
 Below is my first pass at an army list, I would appreciate any and all
 feedback...thanks in advance!
 
 The following is meant to be a 1600pt 15mm army...although this seems to be
 only 1583 so far...also, I am not to sure on the command factor rule...I
 purchased 11 regular command factors, one for each unit that did not have a
 general/sub-general attached. "FL'" is fire lance, and the "x2" is the
 number of shots...
 
 Sample Southern Song Army
 166 CinC 1 Reg A EHC L,B,Sh FL x2
 192 Sub Gen 2 Reg A EHC L,B,Sh FL x2
 144 Line Cav 3 Reg A EHC L,B,Sh FL x2
 108 Line Cav 3 Reg C HC L,B,Sh FL x2
 240 Spearmen 12 Reg D MI LTS,Sh FLx2
 96 Spearmen 6 Reg D MI LTS FLx2
 72 Swordsmen 6 Reg D MI 1HCW,Sh
 252 Bowmen 42 Reg D LI B,Sh
 24 Bowmen 6 Reg D LI B
 40 Ditched Pal 2 ditched palisades
 24 Caltrops 6 caltrops
 100 Artillery 2 1 Talent Engine w/ 5 Reg C crew
 15 Incendiary 10 1 shot for all artillery
 110 Command 11 Reg command factors
 
 
 1583
 
 I then organized it into the following units:
 
 1. CinC 2 xReg A EHC L,B,Sh FLx2, 1 x Reg C HC L,B,Sh FLx2
 2. SubGen 2 xReg A EHC L,B,Sh FLx2, 1 x Reg C HC L,B,Sh FLx2
 3. SubGen2 2 xReg A EHC L,B,Sh FLx2, 1 x Reg C HC L,B,Sh FLx2
 4. Spear1 6 x Reg D MI LTS,Sh FLx2
 5. Spear2 6 x Reg D MI LTS,Sh FLx2, 6 x Reg D MI LTS FLx2
 6. Sword 6 x Reg D MI 1HCW, Sh
 7. Bow1 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh; 6 x Reg D LI B
 8. Bow2 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh
 9. Bow3 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh
 10. Bow4 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh
 11. Bow5 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh
 12. Bow6 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh
 13 Bow7 6 x Reg D LI B,Sh
 14 Artillery 2 x 1 Talent (5 Reg C Crew), Incendiary
 Ditched Palisades x2 (each 6 elements)
 Caltrops x 6 (each one element)
 
 The idea was to use the temp fortifications (which can be placed in forward
 zone, thanks free list rule!) to anchor one flank, hopefully also using
 terrain to aide on one or both flanks. The artillery (very iffy purchase) is
 there to help in anchoring a flank...so maybe a hill combined with the
 palisades?
 
 Then I would use the fire power of the Bowmen to soften up opponents for
 (hopefully) EHC/spearmen charges. Not sure what to do with the Swordsmen,
 but they are compulsory... :-)
 
 Any thoughts on list construction and/or tactics will be greatly
 appreciated!!!
 
 Cheers,
 Dan
