>>From the earliest writeup about the sun domers (WBRM/Dragon Pass boardgame unit descriptions), they do have horseman archery, everywhere but in Prax where they lost their horses (but not the concommittant geases).
I see no reason why the templars elsewhere should field phalanxes only. All those guys with "don't wear this type of armour" geases end up as horse archers, I suppose. Received on Thu 02 Aug 2001 - 06:13:00 EEST
