Army War: Pre-gunpowder

First, I'd like to tell my opponent that I doubt the English Longbow men carried 72 arrows with them; according to this source, it was 24 [1]. Since I will also be choosing soldiers with arrows, I am happy to allow 72 arrows. I just am not sure it is accurate. I ask my opponent for his source on the issue, and if his source is reliable, then I will gladly accept this number and also use it for my soldiers who use a bow and arrow. Now, the equipment of my first three picks: Equipment of Genghis Khan: metal helmet, Mongol armor with Chinese silk backing, Mongolian recurved bow with quiver and arrows (with a draw weight of 166 pounds, it could shoot a distance of 500 meters), scimitar, lance Equipment of Hannibal Barca: montefortino helmet, lorica hamata, gladius (approximately 80 cm, 68 cm blade) Equipment of Maximus Decimus Meridius: imperial helmet, lorica segmentata, greaves, scutum, hasta, gladius My last 3 captains: Miyamoto Musashi A japanese swordsmen and samurai, he founded the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū or Niten-ryū style of swordsmanship and is the author of The Book of Five Rings, a book on strategy, tactics, and philosophy that is still studied today. He is considered one of the greatest swordsmen and samurai ever, and retired undefeated, having won over 60 duels undefeated. He also participated in the wars between Toyotomi and the Tokugawa. Equipment: long katana, wakizashi short sword, o-yoroi armor, yumi (japanese longbow) with arrows, armor-piercing dagger Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) 1157 AD - 1199 AD King of England, he was commanding an army by the age of 16. He led the Third Crusade and scored considerable victories against Saladin. It is said that he spent no more than 10 months in total of his 10 year reign within England. His passion for war, and having an outstanding understanding as a military engineer he wanted nothing more than to fight, and prove his prowess as a warlord. By the time he made King, he was 31 years of age, and he had mastered all the weapons of the day including, sword, shield, lance, bow, crossbow, horse, catapult, tactics, maps and mapping, ships, castle designs, etc. Equipment: crossbow and bolts, partial-plate mail and helmet, longsword, wooden shield Sir Edward of Woodstock, aka, The Black Prince An exceptional military leader and popular during his life, Edward died one year before his father and thus never ruled as king (becoming the first English Prince of Wales to suffer that fate). In 1348 founded the Knightly Order of the Garter, and became their first knight. It was supposedly a return to the knightly ideal of chivalry, but on the battlefield, Edward demonstrated pragmatism over chivalry via the massed use of infantry strongholds, dismounted men at arms, longbowmen, and flank attacks he used. Equipment: his signature black armor and helmet and sword as can be seen here [2]. Soldiers and Captains: Hannibal Barca: Mongol Warrior -- same equipment as Genghis Khan Maximus Decimus Meridius Roman Legionnaire -- same equipment as Maximus Miyamoto Musashi Japanese samurai -- same equipment as Miyamoto Musashi Richard I Teutonic Knights from around 1400 They were a German Roman Catholic religious order that also served as a crusading military order during the Middle Ages. Membership was always small. In 1407 the Teutonic Order reached its greatest territorial extent and included the lands of Prussia, Pomerelia, Samogitia, Courland, Livonia, Estonia, Gotland, Dagï¿½, ï¿½sel, and the Neumark, pawned by Brandenburg in 1402. Equipment: two-handed sword, full-plate mail, visored helmet The Black Prince English longbow men -- same equipment as my opponent's English longbow men This is my army, in all its glory and splendor. I look forward to hearing my opponent's arguments. Also, I want to thank my opponent, before things get bloody, for this very fun debate. Sources [1]http://www.archers.org...
