Deluge WECW changes

Thought I might post a bit of a taster from one of the Polish lists to show how I am approaching the revised book.

Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth army: The Deluge 1655-1660

Characters: King, Polish and or Lithuanian Grand Hetman, Army Standard Bearer, Catholic Bishop, Rotmistrz and Master gunner.
Core Units: Pancerni, Rajtar, Noble levy cavalry (must have at least 2 units of Noble levy) and Dragoons.
Special Units:
Polish Hussars (must have 2 Pancerni units for every hussar unit), Drabant Guards (1 unit only in army) and Lithuanian Tartars.
Rare Units: Lithuanian Hussars, Regimented Cossack cavalry and light artillery.
Mercenaries: 10% of the total points may be used to purchase the following mercenaries;
Reiters and German Harquebusiers, German Mercenary foot and Wallachians.

Special Rules: Noble commanders must lead units of Winged Hussars and Pancerni if no characters are present in the unit. Noble Commanders cost (16 pts); see ‘Armies of Chivalry’ (p. 44), they are not considered to be characters for unit selection purposes. Noble commander has two attacks and can issue or accept challenges from characters.

Allies: 25% of the total points may be used on one only of the following Allied forces;
Reliable Allies:
Austrian- Oberst, 1-2 Cuirassiers, 1-3 Trotters, 0-1 Croat regiment and 0-2 Austrian infantry regiments*.
Denmark – Colonel, 1-2 Danish Cavalry, 0-2 Danish Militia units and 0-1 Garrison units*.

Reluctant Allies:
Tartars – Amir, 1-3 Light cavalry (from the Cossack list).
Brandenburg- Colonel, 1-2 Cuirassiers, 0-1 Dragoons, 1-3 City regiments and 0-2 light cannon*.

*Allied units are listed under respective national lists.

Reliable Allies: If reliable allies are chosen, there must be at least one allied character to lead these contingents, they can use the army general and battle standard bonus.

Reluctant Allies: If reluctant allies are chosen, there must be at least one allied character to lead these contingents, they cannot use the army general and battle standard bonus.

Mercenaries: Mercenaries get no benefit from the general’s leadership or the battle standard bonus.
