So i understand this is seriously being considered as a v 2.0 army list change.Dailami - all but "guard" BGs are Protected only.
I thought the historical interaction ghilman v Dailami is the issue. Now the Dailami will be on evens in impact and down in melee. Plus the MF modifier they will lose.
Then the Dailami vs the arab spear foot. The Dalaimi are up in impact but down in melee. So this starts to look to turning them into drilled superior gauls.
Additionally what is defined as "guard" those few lists (sassanids i think) that use the term, or will all lists have 1 BGs of Guard?
Any thought of etiehr switching them to the Off Spear or making them all one or other ala almughavers?
