Steppe Warfare: BI Tournament 11-2

[GeneralChaos]

Well, it's that time again.



This time around, we're going to mix things up a bit: mounted warfare.
But first, some flavor text

The rapid invasion of nomadic forces into central Europe have caused complete chaos. Each faction must race to head off competitors and fight for survival on the Nordic Woodlands. Because of the haste needed, these armies are almost entirely cavalry-based.

Nomadic armies have often had a tremendous mobility advantage, often outmaneuvering slower, infantry-based armies. But an RTW commander must adapt and master all methods of warfare, or suffer defeat to a more versatile opponent.
