Can you have enough Archers?

Can you have enough Archers? Good question for a 24-points army using Lion Rampant game maybe 1 or 2 units. For a larger game then why not have more units of Archers or do you go for more men at arms? My 5 units of Archers are made up from Hincliffe @ Perry @ and some I picked up from Devizes show this year making 60 figures in all.

Lion Rampant came at the Calne Wargames club

Lion Rampant game at the Calne Wargames club Some of the lads at the club want to play a 3 a sided game of lions rampant and knowing that I had a castle so that was the game. My castle I defend it . 72 points per side no problem. James spent Monday night making up some scaling ladders for his very nice and new Swiss troops to use. One of the best parts of the game was me trying to fire a cannon at the add advancing troops .After the first round that I fired all dice rolls to lode it failed all night . Each time it happened all the old joke came out with all of us having a good laugh . Needles to say the rest of the of my dice rolls was just as bad and with the right-hand flank having the same luck as me with all out generals out of the game. Morale gone and my last two units on the left flank when off the table one go the attackers won the game.Club nights Tuesday nights from 6 to 9 at the Calne springs show room.
