Instead it offers 4 mini-theme covering the early history of Rome, and a number of lists supplementing those covered by our other Field of Glory Companions. THE SEVEN HILLS OF ROME The “Seven Hills theme covers the early wars of the Roman Republic, from the deposition of the monarchy and the attempt of Rome's Etruscan overlords to stamp om the fledgling Republic, through its epic struggles against its neighbours, till its eventual dominance of Italy. In addition to the Romans themselves, these lists cover their sometimes enemies, sometimes allies the Latins, the enigmatic Btruscans, the fierce and resilient Samnites, the hill tribes of the Aequi, Aurunci, Hernici, Picentes, Sabines, Sidicini and Yolsci, and the southern Italian Oscans of the Campanian plain, Apulia, Lucania and Bruttium, Together with the Gallic list in Field of Glory Companion 1: Rise of Rome, these lists form the “Seven Hills” theme, They can all also be used in tournaments based on the “Rise of Rome” theme. THE LOST SCROLLS The “Lost Scrolls” comprise a number of lists filling some gaps in the coverage of Ancient and Medieval warfare by our other Field of Glory Companions. Firstly we include four lists from the earliest historical times, covering the armies of the nomadic and highland tribes surrounding the settled regions of Syria, Canaan and Mesopotamia, the early Blamites to the south-east of Mesopotamia, and the kingdoms the nomadic Amorites founded after their migration into the civilised areas, These armies are interesting in their own right, and will provide additional opponents for several of the armies in Field of Glory Companion 9: Swifter than Eagles. Next, we have a list for Vietnamese armies of the Ancient and early Medieval period. This forms an addition to the lists covered by Field of Glory Companion 11: Empire of the Dragon. Then, we provide four lists covering the settled and Bedouin armies of the Arabian peninsula prior to the ultimate victory of Islam, the Beja, Blemmye and Nobatian armies of the upper Nile valley and surrounding desert, and the Axumite kingdom of Abyssinia, These armies supplement those in Field of Glory Companion 5: Legions ‘Triumphant and Field of Glory Companion 7: Decline and Fall Next, by popular demand, we include a list for those feared camel warriors, the Tuaregs of the Sahara. Lastly, we include three supplementary lists for the “Storm of Arrows” theme, covering variant armies for which there was no space in Field of Glory Companion 2: Storm of Arrows. Two: lists cover later medieval German city league and feudal armies in more detail than in the original volume, The Storm of Arrons Medieval German list should be used for Imperialist armies, The third list details the interestingly different armies of the Free Cantons of Frisia and Dithmarschen. Camel enthusiasts will find much to please them in this book, Large numbers of camel warriors can be found in the Early Nomad, Beja, Nile Valley Blemmye and Early Nobatae and Tuareg lists, with lesser numbers in. the Later Pre-Islamic Arabian and Later Pre-Islamic Bedouin lists.EARLY REPUBLICAN ROMAN EARLY REPUBLICAN ROMAN nies from the ¢.509 BC until 280 BC. Itis part of the “Seven Hills” theme, and This list covers Roman a overthrow of the monarchy can also be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Gl ry Companion 1: Rise of Rome n Roman tra founded in 753 BC.The Roman caler tion, the city of Rome was dar counted years from this date — ab urbe condita (from the foundation of the city). Initially, Rome was ruled by kings, the last thre of at least partly Etruscan origin. The final king, Tarquinius Superbus, was (according to tradition) overthrown in 509 BC and a republic formed Th fo repel Etruscan attempts re was an initial struggle either to restore the monarchy or reduce the fledgling } republic to vassal status, q followed swiftly by a ' % war to supre cy over Rome's Lat Triarius neighbours. Around 493 BC a mutual defence treaty was signed between Rome and the Latins against the mountain tribes in the early 4th century Rome conquered the Veli to the north and subdued Etruscan city of the Volsci to the south and the Aequi to the east. In 387 BC invading Gallic army however, Rome was sacked by an inder Brennos, The invaders were subsequently defeated and driven off by the Roman army under Marcus Furius Camillus. After a short period of recovery from the damage done by the Gauls, the Romans once more began to expand, Over the course of the 4th century, they extended their hegemony into 1 territory of the Etruscans and Gauls to the north and the Samnites and Campanians to the south War (343-341 BC a push by the Latins for equal status with Rome Following the First Samnite within the Latin League resulted in the Latin War (340-338 BC). It ended with the dissolution of ‘ol by Rome, and t the League, increased cont Latins being granted some rights and varying degrees of Roman citizenship. By 280 BC italian peninsula Rome controlled over half of the TROOP NOTES In the 6th and Sth centuries BC, Roman foot were divided into five classes. The first class, consisting of the wealthiest men, was required to muster With helmet, round hoplite shield, breastplate grea es and long thrusting spear.The second class red to have helmet, oval shield (scurum), greaves and spear. The third class, helmet, scutum and spear. The fourth class, according to Livy, was required to bring long thrusting spear and javelins only, but according to Dionysios of Halikarnassos, also a shield, The fifth class, according to LivyLOST SCROLLS was required to bring sling and stones only, but according to Dionysios, sling or javelins, The first class operated as a heavy hoplite phalanx, with the other classes in supporting roles. It is not known whether the first class formed up separately from the second and third classes, or whether it formed the front ranks of mixed bodies. The proportions of the different classes are also uncertain, as Livy specifies them in terms of centuries, Ifa standard sized century is assumed, the proportion of men qualifying for the first class (total property amounting to, or exceeding, 100,000 Ibs weight of copper) seems implausibly high. As the Romans believed that greater property implied a greater stake in the state, and hence greater voting rights, itis likely that the first class was organised into smaller centuries than the lesser classes. At some time in the 4th century BC, probably after the First Samnite War, the Roman army was extensively reformed. Thereafier, the legion no longer operated as a hoplite phalanx, instead being divided into more manoeuvrable suib-units called maniples, each of 120 men. These were deployed in a chequer-board formation, with the gaps between the maniples of the first “line” being covered by the maniples of the second “line”. The heavy infantry of the legion formed. Roman Hoplites fleeing Celtie warriors, by Richard Hook. Taken from Men-At-Arms 283: Early Roman Armies.EARLY REPUBLICAN ROMAN up in three “lines” All used the large oval seutum. The front “line”, the hatati, comprising the “flower of the young men’, were armed with a ‘ew weapon, the pilum ~ a heavy throwing spear. In advance of these, light infantry called levs skirmished with javelins, The second heavy infantry “line”, the princes, were the mainstay of the army, men in their prime, who, in this period, continued to use the thrusting spear as their weapon. The third “Line”, the iar, comprised a smaller number of the older men, also armed ‘with thrusting spears. Two additional classes of troops are recorded, The first of these is the wut, This may simply be another name for the lees, Roman Musician ‘Commanderin-Chief t or they may have been light infantry attached to the tran, The second is the accens, who were the baggage attendants and only committed in an extreme emergency ~ they are only recorded as fighting on one occasion. Battle groups of hostati and prinipes represent the maniples of the first and second heavy infantry “lines", deployed in manipular chequer- board formation, Although the principes were armed with long thrusting spears in this period, the overall effect of the formation is best represented under the rules by classification as Impact Foot, Swordsmen. From the end of the Latin War in 338, Latin allies were organised into alae with the same infantry structure as Roman legions, but with more cavalry.

It is part of the “Seven Hills” theme, and can also be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 1: Rise of Rome, The origin of the Etruscans is uncertain. They appear to have spoken 2 non-Indo-Buropean language. They may have been native to Italy (pre-dating the influx of Indo-Europeans) or fron outside — possibly even fron Anatolia (modern Turkey) r a core territory in modern Tuscany, they expanded north into the Po valley and south into lathun (modern Lazio) and Campania. Etruscan Officer Historians do not agree on which cities comprised the twelve cities of the League, but the following are probable: Arretium (Arezzo), Caista (Cacre ~ modern Cerveteri), Clevsin (Clusium = modern Chiusi), Curtun (modern Cortona), Felathri (Volaterrae ~ modern Volterra), Perusna (Perugia), Pupluna (Populonia), Tarchna (Tarquinii — modern Tarquinia-Corneto), Veii, Velzna (Volsinii ~ modern Bolsena), Velch (Vulet — modern Volct) and Vethuna (Vetulonia), Once a year, according to Livy, representatives of the twelve cities met at the Fanum Voltumnae at Volsinii to choose a leader for the following year. In the 6th century, the Etruscans allied themselves with Carthage against the Greek cities of southern Italy and Sicily (Magna Graecia) Around 540 BC, the joint fleets of the Etruscans and Carthaginians defeated a Phokaian fleet near the Phokaian colony of Alalia in Corsica (modern Aléria), Corsica was divided between theLOST SCROLLS Etruscan Hoplite (left), Latin Hoplite (right) and Horatius atthe bridge, by Richard Hook, Taken from Men-At-Arms 283: Early Roman Armies.ETRUSCAN LEAGUE Etruscans and Carthage, which also kept Sardinia, The Etruscans held control of the Tyrthenian Sea. Early Rome was dominated by the Etruscans, the last three kings being of at least partly Etruscan origin. Following the overthrow of the Roman monarchy in $09 BC, according to Livy, an attempt by the Etruscans, under Lars Porsena of Clevsin, t0 restore the deposed Roman king, ‘Tarquinius Superbus, was unsuccessful. According to other ancient writers, however, Porsena did succeed in subjugating Rome for a time, but did not restore Tarquinius Superbus, and soon lost control again, In the following years Rome established its primacy in Latium, In 480 BC the Carthaginians were defeated in Sicily by the Greeks led by Gelon, tyrant of Syracuse, and Theron, tyrant of Akragas (modern Agrigento). In 474 BC the combined fleets of Hieron I of Syracuse and Aristodemos of Cumae (2 Greek city north-west of modern Naples) defeated the Btruscan fleet near Cumae. Following this, the Etruscans lost control of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and their decline began in earnest. In the late Sth century BC the Etruscan cities in Campania were lost to the Oxcan Campani. Around 400 BC, the Etruscan cities in the Po valley were lost to the Gauls, although Felsina (modern Bologna) held out till <.350. In 396 BC, Veli, one of the richest Etruscan cities, only 16 kilometres north-north-west of Rome, fell to the Romans. The surviving Etruscan cities subsequently fought several wars with Rome, sometimes allied with the Samnites and/or Gauls. Around 282 BC, the Btruscans and their Gallic allies were decisively defeated by the Romans near Lake Yadimo, Thereafter Etruria ‘came firmly under Roman control. TROOP NOTES Etruscan infantry were divided into a number of lasses on the basis of wealth, The first class consisted of armoured hoplites with round hoplite shields and wielding a long thrusting spear. The second and third classes were armed with oval scutum and spear. Its not known whether the first ass formed up separately from the second and third classes, or whether they formed up in mixed bodies. The fourth class was of skirmishers Rome, under heavy Etruscan influence, and ruled by Etruscan kings until 509, had an almost identical organisation until some time in the 4th century BC. Devoted troops swore an oath to die rather than retreat, Some armoured troops in the early part of the period were armed with two-handed axes, In the 4th century, some Etruscan infantry were re-equipped with the pilun ~ the heavy throwing spear adopted by the Romans However, there is no evidence of division into separate lines like the Roman has, princpes and tear Etruscan AxemanLOST SCROLLS gemma amma rn “Troop ee Sub-commanders z I xTroop Commander ach comprising 4 bases-of cavalry: Superior, Armoured, Undrilled Cavalry — Light Spear, Swordsmen. - bases of devoted infantry: Superion Armoured, Drilled Heavy Foot =| Offensive Spearmen Separately deployed infantry Fach comprising 6 bases of infantry ofthe Ist class: Average. of the Ist class Armented, Drilled Heavy Foot — Offensive Spearmen Separately deployed infantry |g, | Each comprising’ 8 bases of infantry ofthe 2nd or Srl cases Average, ofthe 2nd or 3rd class Protected, Drilled Heavy Foot — Oifensive Spearmen. © bases of infantry of the 4th class: Average, Unprotected, Undriled Cuvalry 2BGs Devoted infantry 186 2 BGs Infantry ofthe 4th class i | ee ene B bases of infantry of the 4th class: Poor, Unprotected, Undrilled Infantry of the 4th class fae) [5 eee Bae | & bases of infantry ofthe 4th class: Poor, Unprotected, Undriled Infantry of the ath class BET eon Camp T “Toried camp Tal OSES | uCamppsd mmcumtee seed Poe tases commander | BUILDING A CUSTOMISED LIST + The minima marked * only apply if the USING OUR ARMY POINTS Heavy Foot classes are deployed separately.

It is part of the “Seven Hills” theme, and can also be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 1: Rise of Rome. The Samnites were one of the Oscan peoples who lived in central and southern Italy. They occupied the south central Apennines, bordering on Latium to the north, Lucania to the south, Campania to the west and Apulia to the east, A written treaty with the Romans was made in 354 BC. Soon after, in 343 BC, the First ‘Samnite war against Rome broke out, in response to Samnite incursions into Campania. Roman and Latin forces fought alongside Campanians against the Samnites. The Samnites were defeated by 341 BC. Soon after, war broke out between the Romans and their Latin “allies”. The Romans then allied with the Samnites against the Latins and Campanians. Once again, the Roman side vwas victorious, In 327 BC, the Samnites again entered Campania, and put a garrison into Neapolis (modern Naples). The Campanians again sought Roman aid, and so the Second Samnite War (326-304 BC) began. In 321 BC, having come off worst in the fighting, the Samnites sued for peace — but were offered such harsh terms that they felt obliged to refuse, The Romans were given cause to regret their rapacity: Later the same year, at the Caudine Forks, the Samnites trapped the Roman army in a mountain valley, where it began to starve. The consuls were forced to agreeLOST SCROLLS to the terms offered by the Samnite leader, Gaius Pontius, whereby a five-year peace treaty was agreed on terms favourable to the Samnites, 600 Roman equites were handed oyer as hostages and the whole Roman army was forced to undergo the humiliating ritual of “passing under the yoke”, Although this halted the war for five years, it left the Romans unweakened and thirsting for revenge. When the war began again, the Samnites were initially successful, defeating the Romans at Lautulae in 315 BC. In 311 BC the Etruscans: came into the war on the side of the Samnites. Thereafier the tide of the war turned in the Romans’ favour, and they inflicted a series of defeats on their opponents. The Etruscans sued for peace in 308 and the Samnites in 304 BC. ‘The Third Samnite War began in 298 BC with the Samnites allied to the Etruscans, Umbrians and Gauls in alast ditch attempt by all of Rome's neighbours to halt the expansion of her power. The decisive battle was fought at Sentinum in 295 BC between the Romans and the combined Samnite and Gallic forces, the latter including chariots. The Etruscan and Umbrian armies were not present, having been drawn off to face subsidiary Roman forces, After initial setbacks the Romans were victorious, inflicting heavy lossesSAMNITE on their opponents in the pursuit. The Btruscans soon sued for peace, but the Samnites fought on doggedly until 290 BC when the Romans granted them surprisingly lenient peace terms. In the Pyrrhic war, the Samnites joined Pyrthos' coalition, remaining in arms until 272 BC, long after Pyrrhos had returned to Epiros TROOP NOTES Samnite foot were more lightly equipped than their ‘Roman enemies, and were fond of fighting in hills and woodland, preferably from ambush. Helmets ‘were the norm. The commonest shield was the oval scutum ~ similar to the Roman type, but somewhat smaller. A proportion of men wore small metal breastplates, but most lacked body armour. They fought with javelins and sword. Livy (echoed by Frontinus) describes them as particularly strong in the initial attack, but lacking staying power, We therefore classify them as Medium Foot, Protected, Impact Foot, Swordsmen. The army was organised into legions, possibly larger than Roman ones. Each legion was divided into cohorts, possibly 400 strong There is no evidence that they used multi-line formations like the Romans. The elite “Linen Legion” which fought at Aquilonia in 293 BC was 16,000 strong It was raised from picked men and its members swore an oath never to flee. Similar bodies may have been raised in earlier campaigns. About half of the cavalry in Oxcan tomb paintings wear metal armour. Others wear linen r leather armour, Most lack shields, at least in the earlier part of the period. We give the option of classifying Samnite casa“ry as Protected, Armoured 07 They fought wath javelins and swords.

It is part of the “Seven Hills” theme, and can also be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 1: Rise of Rome, Apulia, in south-east Italy, was occupied by three tribes of mixed Illyrian and Oscan origin. In the heel of Taly were the Messapii, while further north were the Peucetii and Dauni. Generally the Messapit aligned with the Samnites, while the Dauni and Peucetii, under threat of Samnite expansion, aligned with Rome, The Messapit allied with Pyrthos in the Pyrrhic War. The Lucani, an scan people, conquered Lucania (the region just north of the toe of Italy) in the mid- 5th century BC. They also conquered the toe of Italy inhabitants ~ the Oenotrians — to vassalage. In 298 BC they allied with Rome against the Samnites. They allied with Pyrthos in the Pyrrhic War and some allied with Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The Bruttii, in the toe of italy (modern Calabria) arose as a result of a revolt by the enotrians against the Lucanians in the mid-4th century BC, Their independence was soon recognised, and within 30 years the two peoples were allied against their Greek neighbours. In 326 BC a combined Lucanian and Bruttian army defeated and killed King Alexander of Epirus at Pandosia. Around 300 BC Bruttium came under attack by Agathokles of Syracuse. After initial successes the Syracusan forces were repelled. and reduced the former Subsequently the Bruttians allied with Pyrthos and then Hannibal against Rome. TROOP NOTES Apulian, Lucanian and Bruttian armies largely consisted of the usual Oscan_ javelinmen. However, the Apulians tended to carry a large, round hoplite-style shield instead of the oval scutum, and the Lucanians and Bruttians may also have used round shields. More Lucanian foot may have had metal body armour than amongst the other Oscans. Battle groups rated as Armoured are those with a high proportion of such armoured men.

Taken from Men-At-Arms 109: Ancient Armies of the Middle East. EARLY HIGHLAND RAIDERS This list covers the various highland peoples of the Zagros, Taurus and Anatolian uplands from ¢.3000 BC until c.1000 BC. It can be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 9: Swifter than Eagles. Tt includes the early/middle Bronze Age peoples of the Zagros mountains such as the Guti, Lullubi and early Kassites. It also includes the pre-Mitanni Hurrians of north-east Mesopotamia and the Gasgans (Kaska) of northern Anatolia. All appear in the records of their more settled neighbours as. fierce and unpredictable raiders of civilised lands, although many of them did have small towns and cities of their own. ‘TROOP NOTES Large army-sized groups of these highlanders would have been formed from alliances of a number of tribes, although individual tribes could on occasion field large numbers. The early Gutian and Lullubi tribesmen are depicted practically nakee or wearing animal skins bt without shields and so are rated as Unprotected. Later Highland Warrior 36EARLY HIGHLAND RAIDERS highland tribesmen appear to have adopted shields and so may be Protected although we still allow less well-equipped warriors to be fielded Gasgan armies are noted in some Hittite records as sometimes containing levies as well as the normal warriors. As it is likely that most tribes would contain a proportion of lesser warriors, we allow all to field such troops. From c.2190 to 2115 BC the Gutians over-ran_ a large portion of Mesopotamia and ruled some cities as a warrior aristocracy. This gave them access to the city militias. They also formed alliances with unconquered cities. ‘The Hurrians were the first highland peoples to adopt the chariot in any numbers and went onto found the Mitannian state which created the maryunnu chariot system that became the dominant military system in the Middle East for the best part of a millennium, Connnander in Chie? 1 Troop Comatander Sub-eommanders z Te Troop Commander ‘Chariots 1 BG + bases of chariots; Superior, Undrilled Light Chariots ~ Bow =a cy. | Each comprising 8 bases of warriors: Average; rowected, Onded Medium Foot ~ Impact Fo Tach comprising 2 bases of poor quality warriors: Poor vodsien Fos quaity WarHiOrs BBG || vinsercazcler Udell!

It can be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 7: Decline and Fal Axum emerged in the Ist century AD on the highland plateau of what is now Eritrea and Tigray. At the height of its power, in the 4th to 6th centuries AD, it dominated the region and controlled the profitable trade through the Red Sea from south Asia to the Mediterranean. Axum had a rich culture characterised by distinctive architecture, well developed agriculture, its own coinage and written records in Greek and its native Ge'ez. The kingdom followed pagan gods until the official adoption of Christianity from the 4th century. At its greatest extent, Axum’s dominion included the former Nile Valley kingdom of Meroe, the Red Sea coast from Egypt to Somalia and, at various times, parts of the Arabian coast, south-west Arabia, as well as much of the Ethiopian highlands. Ezana in the mid-4th century ‘was Axum’s foremost conqueror and became the first Axumite king to comert to Christianity. Diplomatic links were well established with the Byzantine Empire, which supported the Axumite King Kaleb in the early 6th century for 2 major military expedition 10 the Himyar Kingdom in south-west Arabia. With the rise of Islam in the 7th century, Axum became effectively isolated and lost control of the lucrative Red Sea trade, Its gradual decline continued from then until the late 10th century. ‘TROOP NOTES The Axumite army was organised into regiments (camwit) of unknown size, each with its own regional, tribal or possibly functional name, It is probable that most of these were levy troops although there was probably a small professional guard or core as in later medieval Ethiopia. Most soldiers fought on foot with javelins and spears, which could be short or long bladed. Ethiopians were famed for their use of these and also fought as mercenaries from North Africa to Persia, Broadswords were also used and depicted as worn slung on the back. Other weapons Included bows and knives, Round shields were probably in common use but other personal armour was likely (0 be rare, Horses were valued possessions and probably not as common in warfare as in later periods, The extent to which elephants were used in war is not known A failed Axumite military attack on Mecca in 570 is known in Arabic sources as the Year of the Blephant after their use in the battle by the Axumites, Kaleb’s ceremonial chariot was drawn by four elephants. Camels were used in desert warfare by Beja and Noba allies but probably more commonly used as transport.AXUMITE Axumite governor,Yemeni quard and Omani marine, by Angus MeBride.Taken from Men-At-Arms 243: Rome's Enemies (5): The Desert Frontier.LOST SCROLLS ‘Commande Field Commander Sub-commanders z Tx Troop Commander - Das | Ech comprising + bases of cavalry: Average, Unprotected, Undriled ey * | Light Horse ~ Javelins, Light Spear =, | eel comprising & bases of veceran spearmen: Superion, Prowected, sera ype 2865 | adrilled Medium Foot impact Foot, Swordsmen. n ;, | Tach comprising 8 bases of other spearmen: Average, Protected. oN sop 365 | “Undrilled Medium Foot ~ Impact Foot, Swordsmen Elephants T BG |? bases of elephants: Average Undriled Flephants ;, | Fach comprising 6 bases of archers: Average, Unprotected, Undrilled aioe 286s | Light Foot — Bow Camp 7 Unfortifed amp Toal TOBGs] Camp, 10 mounted bases, 52 foot bases, 3 commanders BUILDING A CUSTOMISED LIST ——- Commanders should be depicted as cavalry USING OUR ARMY POINTS. or elephants, Choose an army based on the maxima and * Pre-Islamic Arabian or Later Pre-Islamic minima in the list below.

It can be ‘used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 5: Legions Triumphant or Field of Glory Companion 7: Decline and Fal. The Blemmye were a nomadic people living in the desert between the Nile and the Red Sea from at least the Ist century BC. They began to raid Roman Egypt in the 3rd century AD. ‘The Nobatae were a similar people living to the west of the Nile. In 298 AD the Emperor Diocletian withdrew Roman forces from Nubia. The Blemmye established control over the north of Lower ‘Nubia, while the Nobatae controlled the south. In the mid-6th century, the Blemmye were driven back into the desert by the Nobatae, who adopted Christianity under Byzantine influence. Later Nobatian armies are covered by the Christian ‘Nubian list in Field of Glory Companion 7: Decline and Fall, The desert Blemmye were later called Beja, We designate them thus throughout the list for the sake of clarity. TROOP NOTES Beja camel-mounted warriors fighting for the Christian Nubian states are described as poorly armoured or naked and fighting with spears. They were routed with ease by Arab cavalry who, ‘on one occasion, tied bells to their horses to frighten the camels, From about the middle of the 9th century the Beja came under increasing Arab influence ‘eventually becoming at least nominally Muslim. Its likely that this influence resulted in a greater use of cavalry along Arab lines, although their equipment levels would still be much lower. In the 6th century some Nile valley Blemmye ‘or Nobatae cavalry may have been equipped with bows under Byzantine influenceLOST SCROLLS \ E Commander in-Chiet Troop Commander ( Sub-commanders z Ta Troop Commander - Fach comprising 4 bases of eamelry: Average, Protected, Undriled cy SBCs | Camelry = Light Spear ae Fag | Bis cormprising + bases of evalrysArege Unproreced, Undead Light Forse ~ Lancers, Swordsmen ach comprising 6 bases of archers: Average, Unprotected, Undrilled Archers Sie Comp i Unforeifed camp Total TSBGs] Camp, 40 mounted bases, 30 foot bases, 3 commanders BUILDING A CUSTOMISED LIST camelry or cavalry.

It can be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 2: Storm of Arnon City leagues were founded for various reasons, sometimes mainly to further commercial aims — like the Hanseatic League, Others, like the 2nd Swabian League (Schwabischer Bund), were an attempt to bring together various powerful groups in the hope of stopping or at least limiting the incessant wars in Germany. Most ‘were simply alliances for mutual protection from aggressors and to protect the countryside from robbers (often local nobility) Of those leagues, the Hanse is probably the most famous and longest lasting It included not only independent cities but also other groups, including the Teutonic Order. At the height of ts power, in the 14th century, it even waged wars with a powerful country like Denmark and eventually won out. Various __ political Crossbowman 59. changes eventually led the Hanse into decline during the 15th century. In 1441, after losing the Dutch-Hanseatic war, the Hanse lost its quasi- monopoly on Baltic trade and had to recognize the Low Country cities as equals. In 1474 it won the (almost exclusively naval) Anglo-Hanse war, receiving trade privileges and ownership over the Stahlhof (Steelyard) area in London. Even in decline, the Hanse remained a power to be reckoned with well into the 16th century, and was never officially dissolved, although the last Hanse meeting was held in 1669 The Ist Swabian League was founded in 1331 It scon began to include some nobles and rose in power, This caused a counter-reaction from several lesser nobles, who joined together, forming a knightly league called Schleglerbund. The Swabian League was defeated and dissolved by Graf Eberhard I von Wairtterberg in 1372. Ie reformed in. 1376, which prompted several more battles between the League and the House of Wirttemberg. The net effect of those battles was a stalemate that preserved the independence of the League cities. Rising tension between these leagues led to civil war in 1367. The Emperor, jealous of the growing power of the cities, endeavoured to setLOST SCROLLS Mounted erossbowman, German knight and pikeman, by Angus McBride. Taken from Men-At-Arms 166: German Medieval Armies 1300-1500. up a league under his own control. The defeat of the city league by Eberhard Hl, Count of Wiirttemberg in 1372, the murder of the captain of the league, and the breach of his obligations by Karl IY, led to the formation of a new league of 14 Swabian cities led by Ulm in 1376. This league triumphed over the count of Warttemberg at Reutlingen in 1377, and, the Emperor lifting his ban on the league, set up an arbitration court. Afterwards the league rapidly extended over Bavaria and Franconia, and finally fused with the Rhenish League, Wiirttemberg struck back, however, and defeated the league in 1388 at the Battle of D6ffingen. King Wenzel then coerced all sides to accept a Laniftieden (treaty of public peace), which in effect meant dissolving all city and knightly leagues, The 2nd Swabian League was somewhat unique amongst the city leagues as it was founded on the behalf of the Emperor. It not only included several powerful nobles and a knightly league (St. Georgschild) but even succeeded in incorporating these feudal elements into an effective command structure, It was the mainMEDIEVAL GERMAN CITY LEAGUES source of troops in the Swabian war with the Swiss. It is more well known, however, for its assistance in the suppression of the Peasants’ Revolt (1524=25) TROOP NOTES The free cities usually lacked adequate numbers of knights owing them service. Some resorted to deals with local nobles, gaining the service of a few knights in time of need. The larger leagues sometimes included feudal elements, providing them with much needed knights. These were usually supplemented by (and sometimes completely replaced by) mercenaries. Nevertheless, ‘most city armies had a somewhat low ratio of ‘men-at-arms to infantry: Whether mercenary men: atarms were less bold or more disciplined than feudal ones is open to doubt, as they were ofien nobles themselves, Konsafles are urban knights, rich burghers and their followers. While generally well equipped, they were often lacking in training and were rarely willing to take any risks. Lighter men-at-arms are basically knights who could not afford the full armour panoply of the ‘ime, resorting to refurbished older armours and forgoing horse barding Initially they were deployed in the rear ranks of normal knight formations. Over time they were increasingly ‘moved into separate units to make use of the higher mobility they could achieve. This led to them taking on a different tactical role, acting as the vanguard or rearguard of an army, as out- flankers or to protect flanks. In pitched battles they often dismounted to fight. Halberdiers and bidenhinder (two-handed sword) wielders were most common in south Germany, were they were sometimes employed in small groups that moved around the spearmen (or later pikemen) to get atthe flank of enemies frontally engaged Verlorene Haulen (forlorn hope) could be used as one large group to engage the enemy while the main army advanced, but were more often employed in small groups to disrupt enemy formations through their impact (or just as often by making the enemy pursue) or as rearguards if the army retreated, Fufkneche were followers armed with a miscellany of weapons, mostly short spears, morningstars, warflails, clubs and swords. We teat this mixture as equivalent to Swordsmen capability. Hanse marines were mercenaries employed by the Hanse cities mainly to be used in naval combat, They could also be deployed on land, however. While they are described as well trained and equipped we assume that they were not used to operating in large bodies, hence class them as Undrilled. Also it seems likely that they used smaller shields, as customary for ship-to-ship battles, The armoured option is provided under the assumption that they may have used larger shields while fighting on land. Italian mercenary infantry and Geldrische kneete in the Swabian Wars are assumed to be taken from the infantry available in the main list.LOST SCROLLS ‘Commander-in-Chief Sub-commandes z Feudal or mercenary men.

It can be used in themed tournaments based on Field of Glory Companion 2: Storm of Ars. The Later Medieval Feudal German allies list can be used instead of the Later Medieval German list for German allies in a Later Medieval Danish army. During this time the more powerful nobles were continually competing among thernsehes. To avoid a strong Emperor intervening, they were careful to elect someone either lacking the resources to impose his will or who would be busy elsewhere — such as Ruprecht I, who was in dire financial straits, or Albrecht 11, who was embroiled in the Hussite Wars and the ongoing struggle of Hungary against the Ottomans. This did not prevent the princes from officially lamenting the fact that the Fenpezors seemingly never took any real interest in man home affairs, The rising wealth and power of the cities, and espec“ally the city leagues, was seen as a threat by many lesser nobles. ot a few of them made their living from preying on merchants. ‘Lhis could be achieved indirectly by creating King John of Bohemia 66 toll stations wherever it pleased them (despite the fact that this was forbidden at least on the Reichsstrets and rivers, which saw the majority of the trade), However, the more destitute or depraved scorned any such justification and simply robbed the merchants directly. Where city leagues were established to prevent such actions, the nobles often responded by forming nightly leagues to combat the city leagues, Most of these knightly leagues were short lived, but a few longer lasting ones managed to achieve some sort of agreement with the cities and the more powerful nobles, who also tended to take a dim view of most of these knightly leagues. ‘TROOP NOTES Feudal German armies were comparatively conservative in both their organisation and their troop types. Despite the success of the Landsknechts in the late 15th century they made only very limited use of them. This probably stemmed from a certain reluctance to disturb the status quo that had developed between the various German princes, allowing them to wage war on each other directly or via proxy (ie Jesser nobles sworn to them) without too much damage to the population. Landsknecht armies, by contrast, could (and ofien did) ravage entire areas for supplies or for loot, Since most wars of the princes were essentially amongst themselves, limiting damage was important to them. Too much damage to the towns and cities, or {00 many killed civilians (directly or from starvation), and even the vietor of a conflict could turn out to be poorer than before Yet reliance on mercenaries and infantry was increasing even amongst the princes.TER MEDIEVAL FEUDAL GERMAN German knight and attendants, by Angus McBride.Taken from Men-At-Arms 166 German Medieval Armies 1300-1500. Whether less bold or more disciplined than feudal ones is open mercenary men-at-arms wer to doubt, as they were often nobles themselves, Fubknechte er eye J i Lighter men-at-arms are basically knights who could not afford the full armour panoply of the time, resorting to refurbished older armours and forgoing horse barding. Initially they were deployed in the rear ranks of normal knight formations. Over time they were increasingly moved into separate units to make use of the sbility they could achieve. This led to them taking on a different tactical role, acting as the vanguard or rearguard of an army, as out- flankers or to protect flanks. In pitched battles they often dismounted to fight followers armed with a Fubknechte were miscellany of weapons, mostly. short spears, momningstars, warflails, clubs and swords.

Whenever outside powers ntage ‘Cantoners tried to take adv however, they usually all found the Free united, with internal squabbles suspended All attempts to bring them to heel failed, of at great cost to the would-be conquerors.

Other attempts to conquer them, like the attacks by Holstein armies in 1319 and 1404, met with failure In 1500 Dithmarschen defeated a combined Danish-Holstein army at Hemmingstedt, which bought them another 59 years of relative yendence, After losing that battle, Holstein sto gradually draw ind started to use more subtle me: and more: influential many of the wealthie families over to its side.

The pole spear used by the Free Cantoners vwas held in both hands, precluding the use of a shield, It had a disk on the butt end (up to 20cm in diameter) to prevent it sinking into the mud Handgunners ‘when it was used as a ‘vaulting pole’ to quickly and safely jump over drainage channels, small bogs or other treacherous terrain features. This allowed the users unmatched mobility in marshy terrain. There is also mention of long swords, axes and similar weapons, We subsume these into the spearmen, however, as their numbers were probably not great, nor does it seem that they ‘were used in separate units Ieis unclear whether the Landsknechts hired during the last weeks of 1499, in anticipation of attack from the dukes of Holstein, ever saw battle. Shortly before the attack materialized, at least some of them either left or were disbanded again, for unknown reasons, It is fairly certain that no Landsknechts fought in the Dithmarschen army at Hemmingstedt. ‘Commander : “Troop Commander Sub-commanders z Tactioop Commander 7 bases of Pree Canton knights: Superior, Heavily Armoured, Undrilled ee eee 186 | Knights —Lancers, Swordsmmen Fach comprising & bases of pole spearmen: Merge, Prometed, Pa uesh S365 | Undrilled Medium Foot ~ Offensive Spearmen. bases of crossbowrmen: Average, Protected, Undrlled Medium Foot — Crossbowmen Tes pRB = 8 bases of skirmishing jvelinmens Average, Unprotected, Undilied Sortie esa 186 | Light Foot —favelins, Light Spear dae ga ee ee rae, nee ah 2 Field Forteations a 3 bases omage OF Feld ToreCaTOnS Camp 7 Unfortified camp Camp, 4 mounted bases, 60 foot bases, 3 commanders, & held Bel 26s | fortifications BUILDING A CUSTOMISED LIST USING OUR ARMY POINTS Choose an army based on the maxima and minima in the list below.

The number of bases of each type in the army must conform to the specified minima and maxima. Troops that have restrictions on when they can be used cannot be used with troops with conflicting restriction, For example, troops that can only be used “before 340" cannot be used with troops that can only be used “from 340”. All special instructions applying to an army list must be adhered to. They also apply to allied contingents supplied by the army. All armies must have a C-in-C and at least one other commander, No army can have more than 4 commanders in total, including C-in-C, sub- commanders and allied commanders. Allarmies must have a supply camp. This s free unless fortified. A fortified camp can only be used if specified in the army list, Field fortifications and portable defences can only be used if specified in the army list Allied contingents can only be used ifspecified in the army list. Most allied contingents have their own allied contingent list, to which they must conform unless the main army's list specifies otherwise, BATTLE GROUPS All troops are organized imto battle groups. ‘Commanders, supply camps and field fortifications are not troops and are not assigned to battle groups Portable defences are not troops, but are assigned to specific battle groups. Battle groups must obey the following restrictions: + The number of bases ina battle group must correspond to the range specified in the army list. + Each battle group must initially comprise an even number of bases. The only exception to this rule is that battle groups whose army list specifies them as 2/3 of one type and 1/3 of another, can comprise 9 bases if this is within the battle group size range specified by the List, + Abattle group can only include troops from one line in a list, unless the list specifies a mixed formation by specifying fractions of the battle group to be of types from two lines. e.g 2/3 spearmen, 1/3 archers. * All troops in a battle group must be of the same quality and training. When a choice of quality or training is given in a list, this allows battle groups to differ from each other. It does not permit variety within a battle group. * Unless specifically stated otherwise in an army list, all troops in a battle group must be of the same armour class. When a choice of armour class is given in a list, this allows battle groups to differ from each other. It does not permit variety within a batle group.
