*3             Portents

Comitatus. Professional warriors, personal followers of the King or Noblity. Their main jobs were
fighting, drinking and wenching! A single unit can be upgraded to King’s Comitatus as noted below.

Warriors. Part-time fighting men mainly free-peasant farmers fighting for loot.

Skirmishers. Boys too young to fight in the battle-line sent out to harass the foe with javelins, or
warriors of lower status armed with bows.

Cavalry. The wealthiest of the warriors—not yet up to the standards they later attained and which
made Franckish Kinghts feared from Hastings to Jerusalem.

Portents. The player can take the portents before the battle. This allows the General to re-roll one
failed Command roll once during the battle. Take the Command test again—if successful the order is
issued and the General can continue giving orders if you wish.

King’s Comitatus. Regardless of your army’s size a single unit of Comitatus can be upgraded to
King’s Comitatus with the stats shown.
