Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Todd Schneider]

Admittedly, I haven't played armies with a lot (read
any) mounted in them lately. People seem to like the
new Timurid alot, and I had some (read alot) of free
time at work last night, and while taking a break from
the Fast Warrior Lists this is what I came up with.

CinC Reg A SHC L, B, Sh w/ 1E EHC L, B, Sh @ 238
Sub Gen Reg A SHC L, B, Sh w/ 1E EHC L, B, Sh @ 168

Mongol Cav 2E Reg B 1/2 SHC, 1/2 EHC L, B, Sh @ 129
Mongol Cav 2E Reg B 1/2 SHC, 1/2 EHC L, B, Sh @ 129

Mongol Horse 4E Reg B 1/2 LC JLS, B, Sh, 1/2 B, Sh @
76
Mongol Horse 4E Reg B 1/2 LC JLS, B, Sh, 1/2 B, Sh @
76

Elephants 3E Irr C 2 w/B 1 w/ B, Naptha @ 205

Timurid Infantry 4E Reg C LMI 1HCW, B, Sh @ 90
Timurid Infantry 4E Reg C LMI 1HCW, B, Sh @ 90
Timurid Infantry 4E Reg C LMI 1HCW, B, Sh @ 90

Afghan Infantry 6E 1E Irr B, 5E Irr C LTS, JLS, Sh @
121
Afghan Archers 6E 1E Irr B, 5E Irr C B, Sh @ 82

Militia Bowmen 4E Irr D LI B @ 33
Militia Bowmen 4E Irr D LI B @ 33
Militia Bowmen 4E Irr D LI B @ 33

13 Units
2 Commands
30 scouting points
1599 total points

I haven't played with the setup all that much, list
writing consumed most of the luch half hour. having
not played Elephants, I think putting the 3E on one
flank, supported by a Timurid Infantry Unit and
perhaps the Afghan Archers would work best. As with
Mark Stones comments, I agree that at 1600 points 3E
works better than 2E, and I put the Naptha with them
to increase heir firepower. Have no idea how well it
works, but it does look a bit neat.

Theres a couple of "pod" arrangements that might work
well, an SHC Unit paired with a Unit of Timurid
Infantry should put out enough bow fire (and theres a
couple of nice split fire opportunities) to be
effective. If I wasn't neck deep in my own army
choice at the moment, I'd certainlt take a closer look
at this list. Ultimately though, I don't think it
fits my stylle of play, however, there are more than a
couple of OW lists that come closer to that.
I don't dount that we'll be seeing more Timurid Lists
in the future though.
