Flank Support opportunities in DBA American armies are few. I asked my crack research team to scour the American army-lists to compile a list of those armies that could potentially get side-support. Here you are.
III/22 Maya - Yes! ("c" version only)
III/41 Chichimec & Pueblo Cultures - Nope.
III/59 Toltec - Nope.
IV/ 9 Eastern Forest American - Nope.
IV/10 Mound Builder American - Yes!
IV/11 North-Western American - Yes!
IV/19 Tarascan or Toltec-Chichimec & Chinantec - Yes! ("a" Tarascan and "c" Spanish & Tlaxcalan sub-lists only)
IV/29 Tupi - Nope.
IV/53 Mixtec Zapotec or West Mexican - Nope.
IV/63 Aztec - Nope.
IV/70 Chanca - Nope.
IV/71 Chimu & Coastal Peruvian - Nope.
IV/72 Amazonian - Nope.
IV/81 Inca - Nope.
IV/84 Mapuche - Nope.
--Mostly just trivial, useless information, unless you're looking for that (ahem) "killer army" in some Armies of the Americas tourney this summer. (Winks & grin.)

Besides your stated purpose, you also give us a complete list of the Americas armies. I have wanted to run a tournament with such. Now see them all. The list is in the book, of course, but now a digital list. Thanks. |

The list is in the book, of course, but now a digital list. Thanks. Note also, bob, that the Americas are an almost closed system, as the only external armies that are listed as historical enemies of any of those are:
1) III/40b Viking (Vinlanders) as enemies of IV/9 Eastern Forest American, unrealistic as it pushes the representational scale down to an absurd level; any Vinlander "army" could not have been more than a couple dozen warriors. 2) III/19c Welsh as enemies of IV/9 Eastern Forest American, an ahistorical representation of the legend of colonists led by Madoc that was manufactured in the 16th century. 3) IV/12d Hawaiian as enemies of IV/11 North-Western American, on the basis of a rich oral tradition of sporadic contact, reconstructions of the sea-going canoes built by the Chumash and other American peoples having been shown to be capable of reaching Hawaii, and a few isolated pieces of evidence of at least some trading or raiding between Polynesian and coastal American peoples.
As you can see, all three external "historical" enemies are tenuous at best.
