Armies of Oerth, Part IX: Bandit Kingdoms

Using Field of Glory  rules & Dragon Magazine #56, here are some additions to Gary Gygax's Orders of Battle for certain renowned armies from the World of Greyhawk.

Considering the massive size of the following army, I am still using the ratio of 250 men per base.

Bandit Kingdoms' Army List

Commander-in-Chief: Baron Skiven (F 11th level) = 1 base
After the Barony of Grosskopf was laid waste by the Duchy of Tenh, the Combination of Free Lords rallied behind Skiven to defend the Bandit Kingdoms. In the course of this action, the Combination abandoned thier assistance to the Horned Society. The Society retaliated by seizing additional lands within the Bandit Kingdoms. Baron Skiven was able to negotiate a truce with the duchy of Tenh on behalf of the Combination. This freed them to retaliate against the Horned Society.

Medium Cavalry: 4,100 = 16 bases
(3 models/base; riders on horses, leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

Medium Infantry: 8,900 = 36 bases
(3 models/base: leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

Humanoid Infantry: 510 = 2 bases
(3 models/base: leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

This is 55 bases with 163 models on them.
The Free Lords of the Combination are a group of at least 17 separate states within the Bandit Kingdoms. As these forces are much smaller individually, they are perfect for using against equally smaller armies, such as the legendary character armies originally given in Parts I through V of this series of articles.

To represent these individual states, I will be using the smaller ratio of 25 men-at-arms per base.
