Northern Armies

Each of these armies has a Sword-6, a Cavalry-6, a Foot Skirmisher and a Galley-6. From there, they start to differ. Note that no northern army has any specialized cavalry.

Southern Armies

Common elements here are Cavalry-6 and once again, both Foot Skirmishers and Galleys. No southern army has any Sword or Pike.
