Saga - My Normans
Mounted Warriors (Mark II)
I realized that once I read the Saga 2nd edition rules that mounted warriors are only allowed to be fielded with javelins. I haven’t used javelins or fought against javelins yet, but i am reliably informed that they are a solid option in game.
This realization meant that I had to change weapons on the few warriors i had completed. This wasn’t a major issue. I did ask some Dark Age re-enactors whether a javelin and a spear should be modeled differently. I only asked because a Roman style javelin had a very striking look to it and wondered whether there was a wrong way to model a Norman javelin. The consensus was that there was no obvious difference between a javelin and a spear that was worth worrying about, that the historical evidence was sketchy and the variety would have been immense.
