Well I was looking to see what others have researched in the publications, to
save me doing it.

The Saga site provides very little detail abut the other items they have for
sale so a little more info on the contents (army list wise) would be helpful. :)

The medieval rules have the lists for the wars of roses, one of my interests.
The Italian wars, the wars of the Ottoman expansion and the ECW/thirty years war
with the related conflicts are all area's of interest to me as well. Yes a large
scope...

Although I can create my own lists and I know the rules provide the points to do
this, it is good to see what others view the typical armies for the period. I'm
not a person who believes that army lists are the word from upon high, but they
do help and reduce the amount of leg work (and potential
discussions/disagreements) required around different troop types for setting up
games. This is especially true as no points system is perfect.

So as you say they are very useful for tournaments, but they are useful in other
contexts as well. Army lists tend provide a base from which to create reasonably
fair and even battles - which lets be honest rarely happened in history. However
they help make for a more interesting game at times.

I'm especially interested in the lists that come in the 'Rennaissance Warfare'
and 'Armies of the Age of Chivalry' publications.
