Armies of Oerth, Part XXIV: See of Medegia

Using the Field of Glory wargaming rules & Dragon Magazine #63, here is the latest installment of Rob Kuntz's Orders of Battle for certain renowned armies from the World of Greyhawk.

Ratio: 250 men-at-arms per base.

See of Medegia's Army List

The Holy Censor was originally the chief cleric of the Great Kingdom. Clerical holdings were granted from Re1 Astra to Pontylver south of the Mikar and Flanmi Rivers, including a portion of the Imperial Preserve (Grandwood Forest). This fief became so strong as to be virtually independent when the Malachite Throne went into decline. The Holy Censor still remains one of the chief advisors of the Overking, however, and he reigns oppressively over peasant masses with full approval from Rauxes. The clerics and nobles of the See have grown exceedingly rich, and their mercenary forces harry the Olvenfolk in the Grandwood and loot across the Flanmi in the Glorioles and Hestmark Highlands where the Censor has extended his holdings to these very foothills, contesting with dwarves and gnomes without quarter. 

Commander-in-Chief: Spidensa, His Equitable Nemesis of Medegia (C 15th level) = 1 base

Heavy Cavalry: 1,000 = 4 bases
(3 models/base; knights on horses, heavy plate armour & lances, substantial shields)

Medium Cavalry (Mercenary): 300 = 2 bases
(3 models/base; riders on horses, leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

Light Cavalry: 1,500 = 6 bases
(2 models/base; riders on horses, no armour & no shields, hand weapons)

Medium Infantry: 1,200 = 5 bases
(3 models/base; foot troops, chainmail armour & no shields, hand weapons)

So, this totals 81 bases with 225 models on them.

After Captain General Gahru's blundering defeat in Granwood Forest, the Overking has sent another Imperial force to deal with them. The Holy Censor may call upon them for assistance should the need arise. The force consists of:

Sub-Commander: Banwald, General (F 8th level) = 1 base

Medium Cavalry (Mercenary): 150 = 1 base
(3 models/base; riders on horses, leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

Medium Crossbowmen (Guards): 120 = 1 base
(3 models/base; foot troops, chainmail armour & no shields, crossbows)

Medium Infantry (Mercenary): 750 = 3 bases
