Interesting. How are the war hounds "controlled" ? Points etc?

We 'jury rigged' rules for the War hounds, as I had never envisioned using Irish when I did the rules! – they moved as cavalry and fought as unarmoured sergeants armed with swords (and were pointed accordingly), they acted as commanded by the player. It seemed to work quite well on the day!

In my case, non-existent (with or without dogs).

More of a SAGA man, myself, but looked a good game nonetheless.

Yes SM, Frankie's Irish are indeed designed for Saga, which he likes a lot. The figures worked well in our game though!
