Volga-Bulgarian ideal line-up

[Peasant Phill]

thanks Odin.

I know a little about the SC and was planning on using them as bait, rout chasers and to strike weak units fast.

to third spearman on the left:
Bulgarian Royal Cavalry: 8 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 8 ( charge/melee/defence/morale)
Steppe Heavy Cavalry: 6 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7

They are much alike (which can be seen in their recruitement cost)with a slight advantage to BRC for their better charge and moral. But it doesn't justify (atleast not for me) the much higher upkeep (more than double) and the fact that SHC have missiles to.

I'm planning on building up Volga-Bulgaria and Khazar to at least a citadel and let them waste most of their forces on the assault (can they appear in Georgia to?). To be honest it will be the first time I'll meet the Horde on their appearance so it will be a huge challenge. I'm still a bit worried so I'll use a cheesy tactic and evacuate most units in V-B and Khazar around the time the Horde arrives so I'll face a smaller force. It's my first time so I prefer it gentil ;)
