That's what I mean. Spear are very effiscient, disciplined troops, like the Dara Happan hoplites. The sartarites can try fight like that (in a shield wall) but I'd qualify them as inferior spear if the weaponthanes aren't there to bolster them.

That's what I'm thinking.

No. To quoute the rules "Heroe's are good, but they aren't _that_ good. I guess I'll have to give Heroic, Superior qualification to superheroes.

Hmm... parhaps we'll continue this over e-mail, since I'm pretty sure we are boring people to tears with the DBM specific stuff.

Thank you everybody for your helpful comments on the existance of Sartarite cavalry.
