I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.

The basic unit of this game is the Knight and his retinue based loosely on the historical “spear” One knight, two men at Arms, three bill men and six archers might make a typical Nobles retinue, twelve characters- coincidentally the same size as a Billhooks company.
