Subject: Was: [DS] Hidden Units and Recon by Fire
In an attempt to have some topicality, does anyone have any suggestions
as
to what would need to be fixed to make the DS point system work? Also,
any
suggestions what a UNSC battalion TOE would look like? What is the
official
UNSC mission alyways?
Otherwise, continuing with the noise:

The Romans fought against the Parthians, Palmyrans, Huns, and Visigoths
to
name a few who employed horse archers. Additionally, they employed the
Armenians as allies, and they used horse archers. In fact, I'd be
suprised
to see a late Roman army w/o any mounted archers, especially in the
east.
Also, the Romans in Byzantium used horse archery extensively. I don't
mean
to rant and I hope i don't come off that way, I just want to clerify a
point
of history, at least clerify it the way I see it.
