Hi all,
I have just bought an essex army (https://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/products/dba-3-4-74-free-company-armagnac-1357-1410ad), and for the Mtd-4Lb units, they put both mounted archers (3 per unit) and archers on foot (4 per unit), which means they believe Mtd-Inf are units that can dismount during the battle, like mounted units in some of the armies (tibetans for example). But in the rules, it is said that Mtd-Inf move like knights but shoot and fight like the equivalent infantry unit, and on a base the same size as the other mounted types, so no need to represent the unit with two different versions, dismounted AND mounted, right ?
Then the question is : how do you represent them ? 3 Mounted archers per unit ? I thought to represent them with a rank of 4 dismounted archers, with an unmounted horse and one horseholder behind them, would that be clear enough ?
