Query on Early Zhou list (july 2023 version)

Post by Intothevalley »

I'd like to check whether the numbers of daggeraxes and supporting archers in the Book 1 Early Zhou list are correct.

The total bases are 12-64. Within this there is an 'any date' option of 0-27, and an 'only from 700' option with 0-27 armoured bases and 0-7 protected bases. Thus the maximum bases of daggeraxes plus supported archers would be 61, three short of the stated maximum of 64. In addition for the protected post-700 option, BG size is specified as 6-9, but it has a min/max of 0-7, so it would be impossible to have a max sized unit of these troops.

Are these the intended figures or should there be a revision?

Cheers!

Looks like a typo and was probably meant to be 0-27. I've flagged to Terry
