INTRODUCTION
Amorites founded after their migration into the
civilised areas. These armies are interesting in their
own right, and will provide additional opponents
for several of the armies in Field of Glory
Companion 9: Swifter than Eagles.
Next, we have a list for Vietnamese armies
of the Ancient and early Medieval period. This
forms an addition to the lists covered by Field of
Glory Companion 11: Empires of the Dragon.
Then, we provide four lists covering the settled
and Bedouin armies of the Arabian peninsula
prior to the ultimate victory of Islam, the Beja,
Blemmye and Nobatian armies of the upper Nile
valley and surrounding desert, and the Axumite
kingdom of Abyssinia. These armies supplement
those in Field of Glory Companion 5: Legions
Triumphant and Field of Glory Companion 7: Decline
and Fall.
Next, by popular demand, we include a list
for those feared camel warriors, the Tuaregs of
the Sahara.
Lastly, we include three supplementary lists
for the Storm of Arrows theme, covering
variant armies for which there was no space in
Field of Glory Companion 2: Storm of Arrows. Two
lists cover later medieval German city league and
feudal armies in more detail than in the original
volume. The Storm of Arrows Medieval German list
should be used for Imperialist armies. The third
list details the interestingly different armies of
the Free Cantons of Frisia and Dithmarschen.
Camel enthusiasts will find much to please
them in this book. Large numbers of camel
warriors can be found in the Early Nomad,
Beja, Nile Valley Blemmye and Early Nobatae
and Tuareg lists, with lesser numbers in the
Later Pre-Islamic Arabian and Later Pre-Islamic
Bedouin lists.
TROOP NOTES
In the 6th and 5th centuries BC, Roman foot were
divided into five classes. The first class, consisting
of the wealthiest men, was required to muster
with helmet, round hoplite shield, breastplate,
greaves and long thrusting spear. The second class
was required to have helmet, oval shield (scutum),
greaves and spear. The third class, helmet, scutum
and spear. The fourth class, according to Livy, was
required to bring long thrusting spear and javelins
only, but according to Dionysios of Halikarnassos,
also a shield. The fifth class, according to Livy,

Historians do not agree on which cities
comprised the twelve cities of the League, but the
following are probable: Arretium (Arezzo), Caisra
(Caere modern Cerveteri), Clevsin (Clusium
modern Chiusi), Curtun (modern Cortona),
Felathri (Volaterrae modern Volterra), Perusna
(Perugia), Pupluna (Populonia), Tarchna
(Tarquinii modern Tarquinia-Corneto), Veii,
Velzna (Volsinii modern Bolsena), Velch (Vulci
modern Volci) and Vetluna (Vetulonia). Once
a year, according to Livy, representatives of the
twelve cities met at the Fanum Voltumnae at
Volsinii to choose a leader for the following year.
In the 6th century, the Etruscans allied
themselves with Carthage against the Greek cities
of southern Italy and Sicily (Magna Graecia).
Around 540 BC, the joint fleets of the Etruscans
and Carthaginians defeated a Phokaian fleet near
the Phokaian colony of Alalia in Corsica (modern
Alria). Corsica was divided between the

ETRUSCAN LEAGUE
INTRODUCTION
TROOP NOTES
Etruscan infantry were divided into a number of
classes on the basis of wealth. The first class
consisted of armoured hoplites with round hoplite
shields and wielding a long thrusting spear. The
second and third classes were armed with oval
scutum and spear. It is not known whether the first
class formed up separately from the second and
third classes, or whether they formed up in mixed
bodies. The fourth class was of skirmishers.
Rome, under heavy Etruscan influence, and
ruled by Etruscan kings until 509, had an almost
identical organisation until some time in the
4th century BC.
Devoted troops swore an oath to die rather than
retreat. Some armoured troops in the early part of
the period were armed with two-handed axes.
In the 4th century, some Etruscan
infantry were re-equipped with the
pilum the heavy throwing spear
adopted by the Romans.
However, there is no
evidence of division into
separate lines like the Roman
hastati, principes and triarii.

UMBRIAN ALLIES
Mars of Todi depicts an armoured spearman and
bears an inscription in Umbrian. This and other
depictions suggest that they had some hoplites at
least. The hilly and mountainous nature of the
Umbrian terrain suggests that other foot would
probably be best graded as Medium Foot.
The following special instructions apply to
this allies list:
Umbrian Hoplite
must be Drilled.

This list covers Samnite armies from 355 to 272
BC. It is part of the Seven Hills theme, and can
also be used in themed tournaments based on
Field of Glory Companion 1: Rise of Rome.
The Samnites were one of the Oscan peoples
who lived in central and southern Italy. They
occupied the south central Apennines, bordering
on Latium to the north, Lucania to the south,
Campania to the west and Apulia to the east.
A written treaty with the Romans was made
in 354 BC. Soon after, in 343 BC, the First
Samnite war against Rome broke out, in response
to Samnite incursions into Campania. Roman
and Latin forces fought alongside Campanians
against the Samnites. The Samnites were defeated
by 341 BC. Soon after, war broke out between

INTRODUCTION
TROOP NOTES
Samnite foot were more lightly equipped than their
Roman enemies, and were fond of fighting in hills
and woodland, preferably from ambush. Helmets
were the norm.The commonest shield was the oval
scutum similar to the Roman type, but somewhat
smaller. A proportion of men wore small metal
breastplates, but most lacked body armour. They
fought with javelins and sword. Livy (echoed by
Frontinus) describes them as particularly strong in
the initial attack, but lacking staying power. We
therefore classify them as Medium Foot, Protected,
Impact Foot, Swordsmen.
The army was organised into legions, possibly
larger than Roman ones. Each legion was divided

TROOP NOTES
Apulian, Lucanian and Bruttian armies largely
consisted of the usual Oscan javelinmen.
However, the Apulians tended to carry a large,
round hoplite-style shield instead of the oval
scutum, and the Lucanians and Bruttians may also
have used round shields. More Lucanian foot may
have had metal body armour than amongst the
other Oscans. Battle groups rated as Armoured
are those with a high proportion of such
armoured men.
The Apulians had the highest proportion of
cavalry of any of the Oscan peoples. Many are
depicted unarmoured and shieldless. Others have
shields and/or armour.

their leaving Egypt, the period of wandering in
the desert and arrival in Canaan until King David
ascended the throne c.1000 BC. After their
settlement in Canaan the Hebrews often found
themselves at a disadvantage in open warfare
against enemies who used chariots and were thus
often forced to use hilly country as a counter.
The Early Nomad allies list in this book can
be used instead of the Early Nomad and ProtoArab allies lists in Swifter than Eagles.
This list covers the various nomad and seminomadic tribes of the desert and steppe areas
bordering Syria, Canaan and Mesopotamia from
3100 BC until the widespread adoption of the
horse towards the end of the 4th century BC. It
can be used in themed tournaments based on
Field of Glory Companion 9: Swifter than Eagles.
Amongst the most successful of these early
nomads were the Amorites, who moved into
Mesopotamia and Syria in the second half of the
3rd millennium BC, precipitating a collapse of
the city state structure, especially in
Syria and Canaan. At the start of the
2nd millennium BC the
Amorites founded a
number of kingdoms,
including Assyria, and
these are covered by the
Amorite Kingdoms list.
This list also includes
the Hebrews from
TROOP NOTES
Large army-sized groups of nomads would have
been formed from alliances of a number of
tribes, although individual tribes could on
occasion field large numbers.
From about the start of the first
millennium BC, early proto-Arab tribes

brought the last of these dynasties, the Shutrukids,
to an end at the close of the 12th century BC.
TROOP NOTES
The cities of lowland Susiana, of which Susa itself
was the largest, were heavily influenced by
Sumerian culture and it is likely that they had
similar military systems to the city states of
Mesopotamia. That these would include battle
cars is shown by finds of models of such in
graves from the region. It is probable that the
influence existed through the later Isin-Larsa
period as well. Whilst these city troops would
only be available when Susania was not under the
direct control of Mesopotamian powers, as
happened regularly, the exact periods when this
would occur are hard to define and so we do not
attempt spurious accuracy by listing a series of
speculative dates in the list.
From around the middle of the second
millennium BC there are records showing that
chariots were in use in the kingdom of Elam and
Anshan and it is likely that development had

that were heavily Chinese influenced.
The earliest kingdom covered by this list is Vanlang, based around the Hong river delta, which
was followed by Au Lac, ruled by the so called Lac
Lords. This was later dominated by China during
the Qin and Han dynasties, which left Vietnam
somewhat fractured between ruling clans.
Later powerful dynasties in Vietnam include the
Early Ly dynasty, which was located in northern
Vietnam near the Red River Delta from 544 to 603
AD. It was founded by Ly Bon and was regarded as
a regional power with limited influence on other
regions. The region also saw the Early Le dynasty
founded by Le Hoan, established near Hanoi,
which lasted from 980 to 1009 AD.
The allies list provides the Vietnamese allies
referred to in Field of Glory Companion 11:
Empires of the Dragon.

Vietnamese warriors were armed with a variety

effectively isolated and lost control of the
lucrative Red Sea trade. Its gradual decline
continued from then until the late 10th century.
TROOP NOTES
The Axumite army was organised into regiments
(sarawit) of unknown size, each with its own
regional, tribal or possibly functional name. It is
probable that most of these were levy troops
although there was probably a small professional
guard or core as in later medieval Ethiopia.
Most soldiers fought on foot with javelins and
spears, which could be short or long bladed.
Ethiopians were famed for their use of these and
also fought as mercenaries from North Africa to
Persia. Broadswords were also used and depicted
as worn slung on the back. Other weapons
included bows and knives. Round shields were
probably in common use but other personal
armour was likely to be rare. Horses were valued
possessions and probably not as common in
warfare as in later periods. The extent to which
elephants were used in war is not known.
A failed Axumite military attack on Mecca in
570 is known in Arabic sources as the Year of
the Elephant after their use in the battle by the
Axumites. Kalebs ceremonial chariot was drawn
by four elephants. Camels were used in desert
warfare by Beja and Noba allies but probably
more commonly used as transport.

TROOP NOTES
Beja camel-mounted warriors fighting for the
Christian Nubian states are described as poorly
armoured or naked and fighting with spears.
They were routed with ease by Arab cavalry who,
on one occasion, tied bells to their horses to
frighten the camels.
From about the middle of the 9th century the
Beja came under increasing Arab influence
eventually becoming at least nominally Muslim.
It is likely that this influence resulted in a greater
use of cavalry along Arab lines, although their
equipment levels would still be much lower.
In the 6th century some Nile valley Blemmye
or Nobatae cavalry may have been equipped with
bows under Byzantine influence.

TROOP NOTES
The free cities usually lacked adequate numbers of
knights owing them service. Some resorted to deals
with local nobles, gaining the service of a few
knights in time of need. The larger leagues
sometimes included feudal elements, providing
them with much needed knights. These were
usually supplemented by (and sometimes
completely replaced by) mercenaries. Nevertheless,
most city armies had a somewhat low ratio of
men-at-arms to infantry. Whether mercenary menat-arms were less bold or more disciplined than
feudal ones is open to doubt, as they were often
nobles themselves.
Konstaflers are urban knights, rich burghers and
their followers. While generally well equipped,
they were often lacking in training and were
rarely willing to take any risks.
Lighter men-at-arms are basically knights who
could not afford the full armour panoply of the
time, resorting to refurbished older armours and
forgoing horse barding. Initially they were
deployed in the rear ranks of normal knight
formations. Over time they were increasingly
moved into separate units to make use of the
higher mobility they could achieve. This led to
them taking on a different tactical role, acting as
the vanguard or rearguard of an army, as out-

TROOP NOTES
Feudal German armies were comparatively
conservative in both their organisation and
their troop types. Despite the success of the
Landsknechts in the late 15th century they made
only very limited use of them. This probably
stemmed from a certain reluctance to disturb
the status quo that had developed between the
various German princes, allowing them to wage
war on each other directly or via proxy (i.e.
lesser nobles sworn to them) without too much
damage to the population. Landsknecht armies,
by contrast, could (and often did) ravage entire
areas for supplies or for loot. Since most wars of
the princes were essentially amongst themselves,
limiting damage was important to them. Too
much damage to the towns and cities, or
too many killed civilians (directly or from
starvation), and even the victor of a conflict
could turn out to be poorer than before.
Yet reliance on mercenaries and infantry was
increasing even amongst the princes.
King John of
Bohemia

German knight and attendants, by Angus McBride. Taken from Men-At-Arms 166:
German Medieval Armies 13001500.
Lighter men-at-arms are basically knights who
could not afford the full armour panoply of the
time, resorting to refurbished older armours and
forgoing horse barding. Initially they were
deployed in the rear ranks of normal knight
formations. Over time they were increasingly
moved into separate units to make use of the
higher mobility they could achieve. This led to
them taking on a different tactical role, acting as
the vanguard or rearguard of an army, as outflankers or to protect flanks. In pitched battles
they often dismounted to fight.
Fuknechte were followers armed with a
miscellany of weapons, mostly short spears,
morningstars, warflails, clubs and swords. We treat
this mixture as equivalent to Swordsmen capability.
