Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔːrhɒl/; born Andrew Warhola Jr.; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Warhol initially pursued a successful career as a commercial illustrator. After exhibiting his work in several galleries in the late 1950s, he began to receive recognition as an influential and controversial artist. His New York studio, The Factory, became a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. He promoted a collection of personalities known as Warhol superstars, and is credited with inspiring the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame". In the late 1960s he managed and produced the experimental rock band The Velvet Underground and founded Interview magazine. He authored numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He lived openly as a gay man before the gay liberation movement. In June 1968, he was almost killed by radical feminist Valerie Solanas who shot him inside his studio.

After gallbladder surgery, Warhol died of cardiac arrhythmia in February 1987 at the age of 58 in New York.

Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city of Pittsburgh, which holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives, is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. Many of his creations are very collectible and highly valuable. The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is US$105 million for a 1963 canvas titled Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster); his works include some of the most expensive paintings ever sold. A 2009 article in The Economist described Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market".

Steve Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs (/dʒɒbz/; February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American business magnate, industrial designer, investor, and media proprietor. He was the chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and co-founder of Apple Inc.; the chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar; a member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar; and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with his early business partner and fellow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Jobs was born in San Francisco, California, and put up for adoption. He was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. He attended Reed College in 1972 before dropping out that same year, and traveled through India in 1974 seeking enlightenment and studying Zen Buddhism.

Jobs and Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 to sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. Together the duo gained fame and wealth a year later with the Apple II, one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputers. Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Altoin 1979, which was mouse-driven and had a graphical user interface (GUI). This led to the development of the unsuccessful Apple Lisa in 1983, followed by the breakthrough Macintosh in 1984, the first mass-produced computer with a GUI. The Macintosh introduced the desktop publishing industry in 1985 with the addition of the Apple LaserWriter, the first laser printer to feature vector graphics. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985 after a long power struggle with the company's board and its then-CEO John Sculley. That same year, Jobs took a few of Apple's members with him to found NeXT, a computer platform development company that specialized in computers for higher-education and business markets. In addition, he helped to develop the visual effects industry when he funded the computer graphics division of George Lucas's Lucasfilm in 1986. The new company was Pixar, which produced the first 3D computer animatedfeature film Toy Story (1995), and went on to become a major animation studio, producing over 20 films since then.

Jobs became CEO of Apple in 1997, following his company's acquisition of NeXT. He was largely responsible for helping revive Apple, which had been on the verge of bankruptcy. He worked closely with designer Jony Ive to develop a line of products that had larger cultural ramifications, beginning in 1997 with the "Think different" advertising campaign and leading to the iMac, iTunes, iTunes Store, Apple Store, iPod, iPhone, App Store, and the iPad. In 2001, the original Mac OSwas replaced with the completely new Mac OS X (now known as macOS), based on NeXT's NeXTSTEP platform, giving the OS a modern Unix-based foundation for the first time. Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in 2003. He died of respiratory arrest related to the tumor at age 56 on October 5, 2011.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

E.T. is a short brown extraterrestrial that was accidentally left on Earth by his botanist colleagues. He is the main protagonist from the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. During his brief stay on Earth, he becomes Elliot's pet alien. While living at Elliott's home, E.T. becomes fond of Earth food (mainly fruit and vegetables) specifically Reese's Pieces and beer.

With the help of Elliott and his siblings, he manages to create a makeshift communicator made of household objects and was successfully able to "phone home". The next day, the spaceship returns to pick up E.T and return home. The movie ends with Elliott and his family watch E.T.'s ship take off, leaving a rainbow in the sky.

He was voiced by the late Pat Welsh.
Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam (U in Uncle = United, S in Sam = States, -am in Sam = America) is a common national personification of the U.S. Federal Government or the country in general that, according to legend, came into use during the War of 1812 and was supposedly named for Samuel Wilson. The actual origin is by a legend. Since the early 19th century, Uncle Sam has been a popular symbol of the US government in American culture and a manifestation of patriotic emotion. While the figure of Uncle Sam represents specifically the government, Columbia represents the United States as a nation. The image has also developed notoriety for its use in military propaganda.

The first reference to Uncle Sam in formal literature (as distinct from newspapers) was in the 1816 allegorical book The Adventures of Uncle Sam, in Search After His Lost Honor by Frederick Augustus Fidfaddy, Esq.

Selena Quintanilla

Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (April 16, 1971 – March 31, 1995) was an American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, businesswoman, model, actress, and fashion designer. Referred to as the "Queen of Tejano music", her contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. Billboard magazine named her the greatest female Latin artist of all time, while her posthumous collaboration with MAC cosmetics became their best-selling celebrity collection. Media outlets called her the "Tejano Madonna" for her clothing choices. She also ranks among the most influential Latin artists of all time and is credited for catapulting a music genre into the mainstream market.

The youngest child of the Quintanilla family, she debuted on the music scene as a member of the band Selena y Los Dinos, which also included her elder siblings A.B. Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla. In the 1980s, she was often criticized and was refused bookings at venues across Texas for performing Tejano music—a male-dominated music genre. However, her popularity grew after she won the Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of The Year in 1987, which she won nine consecutive times. She signed with EMI Latin in 1989 and released her self-titled debut album the same year, while her brother became her principal music producer and songwriter.

Selena released Entre a Mi Mundo (1992), which peaked at number one on the US BillboardRegional Mexican Albums chart for eight consecutive months. The album's commercial success led music critics to call it the "breakthrough" recording of her musical career. One of its singles, "Como la Flor", became one of her most popular signature songs. Live! (1993) won Best Mexican/American Album at the 1994 Grammy Awards, becoming the first recording by a female Tejano artist to do so. In 1994, she released Amor Prohibido, which became one of the best-selling Latin albums in the United States. It was critically acclaimed as being responsible for Tejano music's first marketable era as it became one of the most popular Latin music subgenres at the time.

Selena was shot and killed on March 31, 1995, by Yolanda Saldívar, her friend and the former manager of her Selena Etc. boutiques. Saldívar was cornered by police when she attempted to flee and threatened to kill herself but was convinced to give herself up. She was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with possible parole after 30 years. Two weeks later, George W. Bush, governor of Texas at the time, declared April 16 as Selena Day in Texas. Her posthumous crossover album, Dreaming of You (1995), debuted atop the Billboard 200, making Selena the first Latin artist to accomplish this feat. In 1997, Warner Bros. released Selena, a film about her life and career, which starred a then-unknown Jennifer Lopez as Selena, catapulting her into fame. In 2020, Netflix released Selena: The Series starring Christian Serratos. Selena has sold around 30 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling female artists in Latin music.
Albert Einstein

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who has been described as America's greatest inventor. He developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and motion pictures. These inventions, which include the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and early versions of the electric light bulb, have had a widespread impact on the modern industrialized world. He was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of organized science and teamwork to the process of invention, working with many researchers and employees. He established the first industrial research laboratory.

Edison was raised in the American Midwest; early in his career he worked as a telegraph operator, which inspired some of his earliest inventions. In 1876, he established his first laboratory facility in Menlo Park, New Jersey, where many of his early inventions were developed. He later established a botanic laboratory in Fort Myers, Florida, in collaboration with businessmen Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone, and a laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey, that featured the world's first film studio, the Black Maria. He was a prolific inventor, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as patents in other countries. Edison married twice and fathered six children. He died in 1931 of complications of diabetes.

In 1878, Edison was awarded an honorary PhD from Union College

The President of the Third French Republic, Jules Grévy, on the recommendation of his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jules Barthélemy-Saint-Hilaire, and with the presentations of the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, Louis Cochery, designated Edison with the distinction of an Officer of the Legion of Honour(Légion d'honneur) by decree on November 10, 1881; Edison was also named a Chevalier in the Legion in 1879, and a Commander in 1889.
Tupac Shakur

Tupac Amaru Shakur (/ˈtuːpɑːk ʃəˈkʊər/ TOO-pahk shə-KOOR; born Lesane Parish Crooks, June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), better known by his stage name 2Pac and by his alias Makaveli, was an American rapper, songwriter, and actor. He is widely considered to be one of the most influential rappers of all time. Much of Shakur's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he has often been considered a symbol of activism against inequality.

Shakur was born in Manhattan, a borough of New York City, but relocated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1984 and then the San Francisco Bay Area in 1988. He moved to Los Angeles in 1993 to further pursue his music career. By the time he released his debut album 2Pacalypse Now in 1991, he had become a central figure in West Coast hip hop, introducing social issues to the genre at a time when gangsta rap was dominant in the mainstream. Shakur achieved further critical and commercial success with his follow-up albums Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z... (1993) and Me Against the World (1995).

In 1995, Shakur served eight months in prison on sexual assault charges, but was released after agreeing to sign with Marion "Suge" Knight's label Death Row Records in exchange for Knight posting his bail. Following his release, Shakur became heavily involved in the growing East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry. His double-disc album All Eyez on Me (1996), abandoning introspective lyrics for volatile gangsta rap, was certified Diamond by the RIAA. On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada; he died six days later and the gunman was never captured. Shakur's friend-turned-rival, the Notorious B.I.G., was at first considered a suspect due to the pair's public feud, but was also murdered in another drive-by shooting six months later in Los Angeles, California. Five more albums have been released since Shakur's death, all of which have been certified Platinum in the United States.

Shakur is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold over 75 million records worldwide. In 2002, he was inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame. In 2017, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Rolling Stonenamed Shakur in its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Outside music, Shakur also found considerable success as an actor, with his starring roles as Bishop in Juice (1992), Lucky in Poetic Justice (1993) where he starred alongside Janet Jackson, Ezekiel in Gridlock'd (1997), and Jake in Gang Related (1997), all of which garnered praise from critics.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands

Máxima (born Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti; 17 May 1971) is the queen of the Netherlands as the spouse of King Willem-Alexander. Argentine by birth, she worked in marketing when she met Willem-Alexander, eldest son and heir apparent of Queen Beatrix, in 1999. They married in 2002, and became king and queen on the abdication of her mother-in-law in 2013. As princess and as queen, Máxima has promoted social integration of immigrants, LGBT rights, and financial inclusion. She and Willem-Alexander have three daughters, Princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia, and Ariane, who are first, second, and third, respectively, in the line of succession.

By a decree issued on 25 January 2002, upon the solemnization of marriage, Máxima Zorreguieta was granted the titles Princess of the Netherlands and Princess of Orange-Nassau, and the style Royal Highness was formally conferred upon her. She also became "mevrouw van Amsberg" (Mrs. van Amsberg).

Another decree issued on the same day also granted her own personal coat of arms and a personal standard.

On 13 May 2011, the Dutch parliament confirmed that Máxima would become queen consort of the Netherlands upon her husband's accession, after a debate over her future title and style. On 28 January 2013, it was announced that Queen Beatrix would abdicate on 30 April in favour of Willem-Alexander. Máxima is the kingdom's first queen consort since Princess Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont, the second wife of William III. She is the first Dutch queen to have been born as a commoner, and the first to have been born outside Europe.
John McClane

John McClane is a fictional character and main protagonist of the Die Hard film series, based on Roderick Thorp's action novel Nothing Lasts Forever. McClane was portrayed in all five films by actor Bruce Willis, and is known for his sardonic one-liners, including the famous catchphrase "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker".

John McClane was originally based on the fictional character Detective Joe Leland from Roderick Thorp's bestselling 1979 novel Nothing Lasts Forever. Other aspects are derived from Frank Malone from Walter Wager's 1987 novel 58 Minutes (adapted as Die Hard 2).

Die Hard villain Hans Gruber describes him as "just another American.... who thinks he's John Wayne," to which McClane replies that he "was always partial to Roy Rogers." He is described as being a "foul-mouthed, wisecracking, no-nonsense New York cop with an itchy trigger finger ... and a never-say-die maverick spirit."

McClane's marriage is in a constant state of crisis, his vigilantism and disregard for authority have put him in danger of losing his job more than once, and he is a chain-smoker who is described by Inspector Cobb in Die Hard with a Vengeance as being "two steps away from becoming a full blown alcoholic", on which McClane jokingly corrects him saying only "one step".

McClane is consistently portrayed as a reluctant hero who, with little or no assistance from others, is required against his wishes to thwart the elaborate plans of a group of like-minded villains because no one else is in a position to do so. The trailer for the first Die Hard film states, "The last thing McClane wants is to be a hero, but he doesn't have a choice." In the second film, he is told "You're the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time", to which he replies, "The story of my life." In the fourth film, he says he gets involved in dangerous situations "because there is nobody else to do it" and if there were, he'd gladly let someone else do it. Unlike many "one man army" action heroes of the 1980s, the events of the movie actually take their toll on McClane physically, with McClane entering the climax of the movie severely injured.

In the first Die Hard movie, McClane carries a Beretta 92F as his duty weapon. In the next two movies, his service pistol is a Beretta 92FS, even though the NYPD has never issued the Beretta 92 for duty use. He later uses a Sig P220 as his duty gun in the fourth and fifth movies of the series.
Ghilman/Mamluks

These are (usually) cavalry and appear in many Muslim armies from the the early 9th century starting with the 'Abbasids.

The terminology used for them changed over time. It started out as **Ghilman** (this is the plural, **Ghulam** is the singular) which means roughly servant/page or similar with overtones of youth, and then changed to **Mamluk** (this is the singular, **Mamalik** is the plural) which means roughly "somebody owned". The latter is a bit of a clue about them as they were originally slaves who were then trained as soldiers, manumitted and were the elite of the armies they served in.

Although some ghilman/mamluk were foot soldiers the terms are used in the MeG lists only for those who fought as cavalry. This has its uses as it means when somebody refers to ghilman or mamluk it is easier to know what they mean.

All these cavalry are armoured horse archers - so they will usually be Protected with Experienced Bow shooting capability. The earliest versions are Flexible Cavalry, but from the later 9th century they are instead classified as Loose Cavalry but gain the Short Spear melee capability. This change is becuase whilst they started off as basically armoured versions of Turkish tribesmen in many ways, they quickly became more adept and inclined to also fight in hand to hand and also use (light) horse armour as well.

As "elite" soldiers they are usually classifed as Superior, and also as a standing army who trained extensively as Drilled. This combination of attributes does make them a bit expensive in points but they can be very effective.

Some later versions may also have Melee Expert as an option, usually "guard" types, and there are some who can have their protection upgraded to ArmHrs/Protected due to having substantial horse armour. There are not many of the latter but they do gain the Shoot & Charge capability and usually have Melee Expert as an option.

Some later mamluks also have Skilled Shooters. Again usually only the "guard" types, however, the Mamluk Egyptian can field them in significant numbers - very effective, but also expensive.

Tips on how to use these troops can be found on the Shooty Cavalry page.

For anyone interested in the development of the ghilman/mamluk "slave soldier" I would recommend two books:

"Slaves on Horses: The Evolution of the Islamic Polity" by Patricia Crone - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Slaves-Horses-Evolution-Islamic-Polity/dp/0521529409/

"The Breaking of a Thousand Swords: A History of the Turkish Military of Samarra (A.H. 200-275/815-889 C.E.)" by Matthew Gordon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Breaking-Thousand-Swords-Military-H/dp/0791447960

Neither are cheap I'm afraid.

Finally, some images of ghilman/mamulks:

JBMC Corp./Logos

## 2007-2015

This logo is notably glossy and 3-dimensional. It appears to have been designed after a *Minecraft* grass block.

## 2015-2018

This is easily the longest-lived logo of the company, and gave way to the character JBlock.

## 2018-2019

This design was only used for a year before being scrapped.

## 2019 (Unused)

This was the originally proposed redesign for 2019. It was later replaced by a refined version.

## 2019-2022

This was a complete design overhaul of the company. The logo, when flipped at different angles, represents a J, B, M, and C.

JBMC also purchased the *Promo* font for private use, causing a lawsuit with The CWB over their usage of the typeface.

## 2022-present

In 2022, minor tweaks to the design were made, and the wordmark was overhauled.

After being spotted at the age of four in New York City, she made her acting debut in the made-for-television film An Invasion of Privacy (1983). A leading role in the teen drama series Swans Crossing (1992) was soon followed by her television breakthrough, when she originated the role of Kendall Hart on the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children (1993–1995), winning the 1995 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series. Gellar received international recognition for her portrayal of Buffy Summers on the WB/UPN drama series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003), which earned her five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award and a Golden Globe Award nomination.

Her most commercially successful films include I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Scream 2 (1997), Cruel Intentions (1999), Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), The Grudge (2004) and TMNT (2007). She appeared in various independent films such as  Southland Tales (2006), The Air I Breathe (2007) and Veronika Decides to Die (2009), which remain her last theatrical releases. Having significantly reduced her acting workload after becoming a mother, Gellar has occasionally ventured back into television, headlining the CW drama thriller series Ringer (2011–2012) and the CBS comedy  The Crazy Ones (2013–2014), and providing her voice for the Netflix animated series Masters of the Universe: Revelation (since 2021).

In 2015, Gellar, along with Galit Laibow and Greg Fleishman, founded Foodstirs, an e-commercestartup selling baking kits, and in 2017, she released her own cookbook, Stirring Up Fun with Food.
Beyoncé

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter (/biːˈjɒnseɪ/ bee-YON-say; née Knowles; born September 4, 1981) is an American singer and actress. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny's Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Their hiatus saw the release of her first solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003), which featured the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy".

Following the 2006 disbanding of Destiny's Child, she released her second solo album, B'Day, which contained hit singles "Irreplaceable" and "Beautiful Liar". Beyoncé also starred in multiple films such as The Pink Panther (2006), Dreamgirls (2006), Obsessed (2009), and The Lion King (2019). Her marriage to Jay-Z and her portrayal of Etta James in Cadillac Records (2008) influenced her third album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), which earned a record-setting six Grammy Awards in 2010. It spawned the successful singles "If I Were a Boy", "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", and "Halo".

After splitting from her manager and father Mathew Knowles in 2010, Beyoncé released her musically diverse fourth album 4 in 2011. She later achieved universal acclaim for her sonically experimental visual albums, Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016), the latter of which was the world's best-selling album of 2016 and the most acclaimed album of her career, exploring themes of infidelity and womanism. In 2018, she released Everything Is Love, a collaborative album with her husband, Jay-Z, as the Carters. As a featured artist, Beyoncé topped the Billboard Hot 100 with the remixes of "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran in 2017 and "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The same year, she released the musical film and visual album Black Is King to widespread acclaim.

Beyoncé is one of the world's best-selling recording artists, having sold 118 million records worldwide. She is the first artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with their first six solo studio albums. Her success during the 2000s was recognized with the RIAA's Top Certified Artist of the Decade as well as Billboard's Top Female Artist of the Decade. Beyoncé's accolades include 28 Grammy Awards, 26 MTV Video Music Awards (including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in 2014), 24 NAACP Image Awards, 31 BET Awards, and 17 Soul Train Music Awards; all of which are more than any other singer. In 2014, Billboard named her the highest-earning black musician of all time, while in 2020, she was included on Time's list of 100 women who defined the last century.

Terminator

The Terminator, also known as a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 or the T-800, is the name of several film characters from the Terminator franchise portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and numerous actor stand-ins digitally overlaid with Schwarzenegger's likeness. The Terminator himself is part of a series of machines created by Skynet for infiltration-based surveillance and assassinationmissions, and while an android for his appearance, he is usually described as a cyborg consisting of living tissue over a robotic endoskeleton.

The first appearance of the Terminator was as the eponymous antagonist in The Terminator, a 1984 film directed and co-written by James Cameron. While the original Terminator was destroyed, other machines with the same appearance are featured in the sequels. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Schwarzenegger's Terminator serves as the main protagonist, while in Terminator Genisys and Terminator: Dark Fate, he serves as a supporting protagonist, and is pitted against other Terminators sent by Skynet and its successor Legion. In Terminator Salvation and Dark Fate, the character also appears briefly as an antagonist. In the context of the stories, the plot device of having various robots looking the same provides a certain continuity for the human characters by exploiting their emotional familiarity with a particular "human" visage associated with each "model". The "Terminator" title is also used as a generic name for other human-simulating characters in the Terminator franchise, such as the T-1000 antagonist in Judgment Day.

## Background

**Equites Catafractarii**
Despite the name, this does not refer to cataphracts, this can either be Sarmatian mercenary lancers, or Roman cavalry armed in Sarmation fashion (lance armed cavalry), they might have a light section of armour across the front of the horse.

**Legionaries**
Legionaries use rectangular shields early on in this list, there are a number of designs that are known, but the colours used are unknown (so pick something that looks cool).

**Paetorian Guard**
The Emperors Guard, the Praetorian guard are the elite troops of the Roman army. Their shields are a distinctive shape, oval with rounded edges, they also have plumes on their helms (whilst the standard legionaries no longer have plumed helms by this time).

Medieval Frisian or Dithmarschen

## Using Frisians in MEG

The Frisian are a bunch of loonies who seem to be keen to throw themselves into combat with very long spears.

Before 1420 the spearmen are Tribal loose, long spear, dev charge, combat shy, making them difficult to manoeuvre, happy in the rough, resistant to cavalry on the charge, and potentially very dangerous during the charge phase, but vulnerable in long melees. At least 1/3 of them have to be unprotected, so they are even more vulnerable. They are also cheap.
There is not a lot else in the army apart from skirmishers and a few single TUGs of bits and pieces (crossbowmen, short spear, a single TUG of average early knights)

It really is all down to how much damage you can do in the charge. What you have is a classical warband army with added cavalry resistance. In period it can be shocking, but not something happy to be up against determined shooting.

You will own the rough though.

In the later version the spearmen lose both the dev charge and combat shy. Making them more predictable, more resilient and much less interesting.

## Allies

Feudal German allies can provide some cavalry, but at the cost of close order foot which do nothing for this army.
Early Medieval Danish allies can provide some close order hard hitting huscarls, but do little to improve the army's ability to manoeuvre as at least half of the ally will be tribal close spearmen.

### Frisians as allies

The only compulsory troops are the spearmen, so you are looking at a couple of unprotected and a couple of protected TUGs of the dev charge spearmen, or 4 TUGs of loose order spear. Either can be useful for armies with little in the way of rough going troops

Early Medieval Danish

## Using the Early Medieval Danish in MEG

The Danes are all about getting large groups of superior 2HCC troops (the Huscarls) into contact with pretty much anything.

You can choose to take the Huscarls as formed flexible (good for protecting flanks), cavalry (why would you though) or in the shield wall as tribal close, with shieldwall and integral shooters.

The shield wall version is probably the best option. Filling in rear ranks with bondi (poor short spear, shield wall, integral shooters) or best bondi (the same, but average) gives the huscarls more staying power at the cost of more damage from KABs and rear attacks.

You could take a shieldwall of 9 bases, 3 huscarl, 3 best bondi and 3 bondi, but that may well be asking for trouble as once the crunchy exterior has been removed, the rest is alarmingly squidgy. 6 huscarls and 3 bondi gives enough resilience that your enemies really need to cut through most of the huscarls before they get to squidgy underbelly, this is a good thing.

You are limited to 18 bases of huscarls, so you need to make sure they are doing all the fighting, and not too much of the dying.

### Allies

Covering flanks is difficult as the best cavalry available in the list is from regrading huscarls, so an ally is useful. Feudal German can provide you with a couple of TUGs of early knights (short spear, dev charge, melee expert).

The internal Wend ally gives you more tribal foot, skirmishers and a single TUG of useful cavalry.

### Medieval Danes as Allies

Once upon a time this list provided a killer ally contingent, but recent restrictions have made them a less overpowering ally, as allied TUGs cannot be mixed shieldwall units, you cannot have more TUGs of Huscarls than best bondi, and the Huscarls are limited to TUGs of 6.

Having said that 2 lots of 6 huscarls and 2 lots of Bondi are still an effective source of damage and work well together with a single general (no mixed up commands of tribal foot and formed cavalry who do not know what they need to do)

## Troops and suitable miniatures

Huscarls - you are probably looking for something in mail with a big axe and possibly a shield
