Thank you all. This was actually the 1st roster Koultouras created for TGC
but for a lot of reasons this preview was postponed.
Yes but i do not recall it right now.
What i know is that Byzantines axe descriptions refairing actually to that weapon.
"You must manufact your axes with a wide blade in the one side and with a spearhead in the other"
Tactika Leon VI the Wise.
We are not sure when this axe apeared or where but we know that it was in a wide use in Italy from all sides.
While "Tzikourion" (the Roman war axe) was a descendant of the Frankish "Frangiska" this axe seams to be the ancestor of Haldebear because it could be used as axe or short spear against cavalry in close distances!

Beautiful!!
That is awesome! I'm really loving this mod.
I'm actually writing an AAR set in the "Dark Ages", in 10th century, and your mod would be simply perfect to do it . Such a fascinating and unexplored period, i swear i'm gonna be the first person to download it when its ready. Until then, +rep to all of you geniuses.
I actually had one question for you: is there evidence that the crossbow was widely used, not only in Italy, and Europe, for the matter, in the 9-10th century? I'm sure it was widely used during the Crusades, in the 12th century, but didn't know anything earlier than that. The wiki says the evidence of post-Roman crossbow is from the Battle of Hastings onwards , so what would you say about a Frankish or Germanic militia using them?
Crossbow as we know it in early medieval era and later existed for hundreds of years earlier, Versions of that weapons existed in hellenistic,republic roman era as portable balistas. Medieval Romans called them Tzagras.
'
But the crossbow as we know it was lighter in weight and with simplier construction. Maybe Italy was home of what is now know as crossbow.
Both Arabs in Sicily and Italians in their cities needed a weapon easier to learn and easier to use over the walls. The crossbow is perfect for wall defending and does not require a lot of training plus it offers accuracy!
The lower rate of fire was not an issue if we thing that the users were not in open field but covered behind wall rambards. The "clasic" crossbow apears the same time in Saracen and Italian hands. Maybe commerce brought it from somewhere else or commerce expanded its use to cetral europe! We must not forget that Italians considered the best crossbowmen for centuries!
Also crossbow seamed the perfect "bow" for ship crews for both Saracens and Italians. Its oddd but Romans (byzantines) did not use (atleast we do not have evidences yet) Tzagras on ships because they had other biger versions of balistas ,catapults and the famous mulri arrow balista that could launch 40 small arrows at once!
Crossbow was the answer of Italians to political instabillity after the 6th century ,despite the fact that Frankish Empire offered some peace brake.
Italian cities changed "masters" often and they needed some trusted soldiers of their own to protect their interests. Such troops are mentioned inthe Roman campaigns as reinforcements from Venice to the Romans in the south Italy. It seams that Italian "republic" forces were not a new feature in 14th century as they existed as city guards and ship crews atleast from the 10th century. Frankish empire could not offer fleet to protect the sea trade roots on behalf of its Italian subjects and crossbow seamed perfect (the same way Saracens used it) for ships.!
