Most definitely about the Normans - at least for First Crusade; probably no problem using them in Second Crusade too - mixed in with knights in surcoats and straight topped shields. The Dogs of War option for C&C allows Turcopole cav for Crusaders too. Fireforge sets would be great for 2nd and later Crusades. BTW, I'm planning on getting Lion Rampant too. Another skirmish level (read few figs) game.

Certainly more enjoyable than painting up the rank and file for an army.

Great when you can pull something "out of the box" and put it on the table. <br /><br />Just yesterday, some of the new SAGA players I met had repurposed WAB armies into SAGA warbands and were recalling fondly how the Normans were so tough to beat in the WAB system.

I ordered the 2nd Crusades mounted command (for the Warlord for this Warband); also the Norman foot characters - the one with the guy with the falcon; and also an Early-HYW mounted command - something to paint up for Lion Rampant - another set of rules I'll be picking up.
