Hey guys.
I have a rather large favour to ask those of you who are intimately familiar with Medieval armies.
I need someone familiar with the arms, armour, training regime and organization of multiple medieval armies to lend me a hand either with research or fact checking for a wargame I'm devising. It occurred to me that while I know a lot about medieval equipment, culture, tactics and specific battles, I simply do not have the same level of understanding for their military organization from the ground up as I do for, say, the Bronze Age or Classical periods. As I'm working on creating a wargame system that relies on my knowledge being accurate, and I want to give my project the level of knowledge and input it deserves, I don't want to make any mistakes. So I either need to get to the same level of knowledge (please recommend books/journal articles), or find someone with more knowledge than I do to bounce off of.
Many thanks.
