Armies of Oerth, Part XVI: South Province

Using the Field of Glory wargaming rules & Dragon Magazine #57, I will continue representing Gary Gygax's Orders of Battle for certain renowned armies from the World of Greyhawk.

Ratio: 250 men-at-arms per base.

South Province's Army List

The ruler of South Province, Herzog Chelor III, a cousin of the Overking in Rauxes, is in disfavour. All previous attempts to regain the lost portions of the fief have been turned back in defeat, and the revenue coming to the Malachite Throne have diminished considerably, for the lost territories were rich indeed. Thus the Herzog has stated the intent to stake his entire personal fortune on a last attempt to break the Iron League. Success would make his title something more than hot air, regain favour for him in Rauxes, swell his coffers to bursting with wealth, and lastly giving much personal satisfaction to him. He has currently gathered a force which may well be sufficient to accomplish what none of the Herzog's ancestors could ever manage to do - regain Idee and spell the end of the Iron League, for the defenders cannot gather a force so large to oppose Chelor.

Commander-in-Chief: Herzog Chelor III
(T 5th level/F 11th level) = 1 base

Sub-Commander: General Reynard = 1 base

Heavy Cavalry: 3,000 = 12 bases
(3 models/base; knights on horses, heavy armour, large shields, hand weapons)

Medium Cavalry: 3,000 = 12 bases
(3 models/base; riders on horses, leather armour, moderate shields, hand weapons)

Light Cavalry: 5,000 = 20 bases
(2 models/base; riders on horses, no armour & small shields, hand weapons)

Medium Infantry: 3,000 = 12 bases
(3 models/base; foot troops, leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

Medium Infantry (Mercenary): 6,000 = 24 bases

(2 models/base, foot troops, no armour & small shields, hand weapons)

Light Infantry (Humanoids): 5,000 = 20 bases
