So what is not to like? Decision points for me in this layout

Light infantry or long bowmen; wanted one with main pike command, 3 to give a second bad terrain option, so none left for lights
2 knights or 3 pike. Took 2 extra knights for flexibility (of course a bit limited since they are impetuous). Good v hi 2hcw who pikes do not like
1 more pike, reduce 3x knights to ordinary, 1x longbow to mediocre. I hate bow mediocre (they need to roll high to hit), but longbow mediocre are ok.

Nb this is a limited list, late medieval Western Europe tournament. I expected smaller armies and little shooty, skirmishing light horse or cavalry

Ps remember in Bristol discussing my arabs with few light infantry, more heavy foot

Curious now, what would anyone else expect?

Hi Mike,

I've been toying with a similar list, but prefer to take spear in place of crappy pike when using longbow....makes the army a bit more resilient to shooting.

Congratulations on your win and sorry for being such a flake.
