Maybe I snuck in a cheeky contraction somewhere along the line too...
And any contraction takes you out of the Advances section which means it cannot be done by a Battle Line - see page 41.

Hardly implied IMO, quite clear - plus the definition of Battle Lines (P30 IIRC) helps.

It was actually E. Hungarians, but I'd put Byzantines in the first draft of the script

In search of Early Hungarians...
Tim,
I also don't see an 800 AP Early Hungarian list that appears to match these mythical Early Hungarian nee Byzantine opponents.

I'm pretty sure they were Chris Johnston's Early Hungarians - however I think he gave me the printout of his army list rather than me writing it down.... and I lost it! If you look on the Roll of Honour it shows it was the army that placed 4th at Hubcon (thanks to the 16.4 : 8.6 victory I handed them in the last game!)
I've changed the reference on the last page too now.
I hoe you are all satisfied now

As its snowing/freezing and so I can't spray varnish or undercoat a load of 28mm TYW figures, or undercoat 15mm TYW Pike & Shotte, a Louis XVI French Army, some WW2 GI's and large number of 15mm Sarmatian lancers, thats probably what the Christmas break is for....
