I spent the whole past week and a half or so converting my WAB El Cid
Christian Mercenary army to Impetus (very happy with the new look) my
game of choice for Dark Age/Medieval wargaming.
A quick re-cap behind the army concept. It 's a Christian Mercenary army
with a heavy Moorish influence that finds itself employed by Muslim
Taifa Kings ,but more often then not in the employ of the Christian
kingdom of Aragon between the years 1090(King Pedro) and 1135(Alfonso
I) covering both El Cid's period and the early Reconquista under
Alfonso I "The battler".
The army so far gives me a hefty 300pts in cavalry which is substantial
in 28mm. but not unusual for Christian Spanish armies of the period.
With that in mind I figure that's plenty cavalry for now and I should
probably add some foot slogging support. I think about 100pts or so of
heavy infantry, formed missile support and some skirmishers are in order
to give me a sold base for my army.
Once I have about 400+ points I'll start on the Moors either on this thread or a separate one.
My foreseeable future looks to be Samurai, ACW, Spanish Reconquista dominating with some AWI and SCW here and there.
Thanks for viewing!
