8Bw

An interesting question Pawsbill.
Here is what I’ve found (but there may be others):-


Armies that are limited due to Ally rules (see page 31 "Allied Contingents"):-
III/9b   Burmese (with a IV/48 Yuan Chinese 4Bd + 8Bw ally...but can't have both)
III/21b Lombards (with a III/65 Nikephorian Byzantine 4Bd + 8Bw ally...but can't have both)
III/33   Early Muslims (with a III/65 Nikephorian Byzantine 4Bd + 8Bw ally...but can't have both)
III/51   Bagratid Armenians (with a III/65 Nikephorian Byzantine 4Bd + 8Bw ally...but can't have both)
III/57   Koryo Koreans (with a IV/48 Yuan Chinese 4Bd + 8Bw ally...but can't have both)


    Armies With Access To “Solid” Bd and 8Bw Allies
II/76    Koguryo Korean 4Bd (with a III/7b Pre-Samurai 8Bw ally)
III/36   Nan-chao 4Bd (with a III/20c T’ang Chinese 8Bw ally)
III/77   Papal Italian Lit/4Bd (with a III/76 Konstantine Byzantine CP + 8Bw ally,
                                           or with a IV/5c Sicilian 8Cb ally)
IV/4b    Feudal French 4Bd (with a III/73b Communal Italian CWg + 8Cb ally)
IV/43c  Hungarian 4Bd (with a IV/66 Polish 8Cb ally)
IV/62c  HYW English 4Bd (with a IV/68c Medieval Spanish 8Cb ally)
IV/69   Albanian 4Bd (with a IV/61 Italian Condotta 8Cb ally)
IV/82a  French Ordonnance 4Bd (with a IV/61 Italian Condotta 8Cb ally)

(A note about the items above in Blue.
It’s seems a bit odd that a mighty Emperor or a treasured icon would meekly submit themselves
to just leading a small detachment under the leadership of someone else…in reality their ego
and prestige would insist that THEY THEMSELVES were in command!

However, DBA 3.0 (probably as an oversight) allows Command Elements such as CP, Lit and CWg
to be part of an allied contingent.

Fortunately, the two blue armies above have their own alternative “Solid” Bd, and this is more realistic)
