Would you ever take 1 x Art with an otherwise all-mounted army (say half LH, half Cv/Kn)?
Stick it in your camp?
Or is it too much of a target/liability? Or just ill-fitted to a mobile army?
Your thoughts?

I only play 2.2, but I wouldn't bring it out of camp without a juicy target like El or WWg

Furthermore, if you had the option to take 1 x Art vs an extra LH, which would you take and why?

Hi Snowcat,
Speaking as a long-term Mongol Conquest army fielder.
Definitely take the artillery if you have that option.
It will prove vital against WWG and El for example. One of my favourite victories was against a Hussite army, in which my artillery element was crucial, not just in picking off WWG from out of their range, but also in luring out their Kn General to destruction.
Bw can decimate LH elements in short order and the artillery can, at the very least, knock their formation around.
So, yes.
Regards
David

Hi Snowcat, Paddy and I came up with an army which is not strictly all Mounted(but can be) and can have 2 Artillery... and is a Historical opponent of your Avars! III Maurikian Byzantines can take Khazar Allies that can also bring along an artillery piece.It's a bit pip heavy, but certainly potent.
Paddy was going to field it in a Tournement but couldn't make it and it would have been interesting to see how it would have performed.
