The idea of my list is that it has the KnS with the CinC and the rest of the
knights are "downgraded" to IrrrCvO hence no problema of impetuous elements.
Usually the other two subs are dismounted. The Pikes are making a front with the
RegBdo and the Kns and the 5 CvO protect one selected flank. Easy and simple and
it can also defend against flank marches i beat recently a Korean general who
tried to roll my right mounted flank with LHF and CvO. If i could have make it
to Ghent i would have played in Book 4 with this list, which by the way Dinos
did not prefer and last minute he chose Ghurids with the known
results...(although before Ghent he had lost from the Medieval French while
practicing)
1st Command
1 IrrKnS CnC (Once broken)
6 ""
8 IrrAxX
6 IrrBwO
1(0.5)HdO
21.5
breaks 7,5
2ndCommand (the usual victim in my 9-1 victories but i admit that this why it
was made for. The enemies try to break it because of the BwI and forget the rest
of my army!!)
1IrrKnS sub
4 IrrBwO
2 RegBwO
6 IrrBwI
5 IrrCvO
5(2,5) IrrPsO one of them is IrrBwO modified to PsO
2(1) HdO
21,5
breaks 7,5
3rd Command (the "suprise" as i call, it since most players usually prefer
mounted commands with such low demorilization nevertheless it was never broken
and many times gave me the coup de grace)
1IrrKnS sub always dismounted as BdS
5 RegBdo they could also be mounted more killer version
13(6,5) IrrHdO
12,5
breaks 4,5
4th Command (Scotland's bravest only once broken from George Linardos)
1 IrrKno ally Scot dismounted as irrSpS
1 IrrKnI also dismounted as IrrSpS
17 IrrPkI
19
breaks 7
I hope some new players might fancy it and like to use it in the future
Although it is an irregular army it is not easy to become impetuous. Also it
can make enough wills and shifts to repulse a possible flank attack. Usually the
Scots are placed in the center.
If you face a massive Bw army, your Scots should be placed either in a column
with two elements front with the SpS ally in charge or behind another screening
block, say the Blades. Once you come close to the firing elements you can expand
your 2 columns with reasonable pips say 4. Against elephants you can choose to
dismount 4 KnS and keep the CnC with 2 elements of KnS mounted as reserves.
