Thanks Mark, point one would be the first consideration for me on the face of it ...... but, i am still thinking about how to present my armies and I would like to show the inter-relationship within contingents of bow and melee and so option 2 is something i will explore.
I did see the idea mooted on you web page, but did not fully understand the mechanism, but can see clearly here what you are suggesting. I will try both.
Would the mixed unit also be classed as a large unit?
I am really enjoying your rules and the more I look at them, the more the nuances reveal themselves. Thank you.
