Thanks! I checked Dux Rampant but couldn't find the particular info I was looking for but the handgun and pike rules look useful! |

For Scots you want well-armoured pikes/long spears with fair proportion of fully-armoured men-at-arms; more than you would expect in a big 'domestic' Scottish army, plus a modest number of longbow archers. Scottish Crossbows and handguns? Not really. |

After posting I thought about it a bit. For the Irish, Foot Men at Arms (represents Gallowglass), a couple of units of Bidowers (sneaky Irish men), a couple of units of Foot Yeomen with Javelins, and perhaps a unit of Mounted Yeomen with javelins (mounted Skirmishers). |

WOTR Irish, Scots, Burgundian & French retinues The Burgundians and French were mercenaries so would not be "retinue" troops. |

The Burgundians and French were mercenaries so would not be "retinue" troops. I think he is using the term "retinue" in the context of the Lion Rampant rules; that is, what you field is a Leader and his Retinue. |
