Multiple Mortem et Gloriam Indian Armies

The first thing with MeG is to look at the army lists and develop the armies, like many other games really. Each competition requires an army of 10000 points developed from the army lists allowed in the theme of the competition. The Army Lists I have used can be found here:

The Later Vedic Indian Army from the Assyria and Babylon list in the Chariot Period Category

The  Vijayanagar (please feel free to pronounce correctly I have no idea) from the India List in the Later Asian Category

First up is the Vedic Indian list which I chose to place at 600 BC which is really interesting, as it has limited troop types options but the thing that attracted it to me was the following:

24 x Superior Chariots  – which you need to have in a Chariot Wars Army

4 x Elephants – Well this works on two fonts firstly Chariots dont really like elephants and secondly its Elephants and who does not like elephants if you can have them then well take them.

The rest of the army is essentially a combination of a lot of Archers and a couple of units of Swords men. The four commanders are all instinctive but with two talented and two competent it gives a total of 14 command points which is plenty to control the army (fingers crossed)

The Vijayanagar were a Hindu people from the southern area of the Indian sub-continent the year I chose for this list is 1450. This army is somewhat different to the Vedic list, it has more Elephants and that is a good thing right Elephants are awesome. Gone are the chariots replaced by Muslim trained cavalry. There are less command points, fewer archers but more swordsmen who work in batched of 9 bases making the tough to break. This list is still a bit of a work in progress and I will include any updates if I change it later on.
