I have a Fr campaign in the 1300's and am about to drive deep into north africa and the middle east. Previously, my european armies have really had a tough time in the desert with exhaustion due to the heat. I am thinking of sending a low tech/low armor force instead of my standard army.
I was thinking of lots of light cavalry, archers, militia sergeants, urban militia and some spearman. I don't think any of these units are heavily armored and thus should hold up well to the heat. However, I don't know if they can beat arab armies.
Good idea or bad idea? Or should I just send in my standard top of the line heavy cav/chivalric MAA/halberdiers/arbalests of the 1300's?
