I just love the wee Aberdeen Angus coos and am now inspired to quote Scotland's other poet, the great McGonnagle: As ah wis walkin doon a road, Ah saw a coo... A bull by Goad! (For the purists amongst you, bull is pronounced to rhyme with gull) The circular formation with spears was called a schiltron although, to confuse matters more, schiltrons did not necessarilly have to be circular.

I think that having too many bold units makes the game less tactical. 42 figures is something, too bad that there are many dwarves.

I don't remember the name of the unit now but as far as i know, groups of Scots, trained to move and battle in tight circles with spears, beat the crap out of the English cavalry while they were sent just to delay them :) Probably because a circular formation with spears was the answer to the English cavalry.
