Starting middenheim

[bsucbe]

Have posted this in other places but feel it got over shadowed there, so would really appreciate any suggestions on this starting gang

Captain ( hammer and axe)
Champion (double handed weapon)
Champion (spear and buckler)
Youngblood (axe)
youngblood (spear and buckler)
2 x Swordsman (2 swords)
3x Marksman (bow and club)
Warrior (halberd)
Warrior (hammer and buckler)

Was thinking three groups, the Captain, youngblood with spear, one swordsman and the halberd warrior
The champions and the remaining swordsman and warrior
the last youngblood and the three marksman

Better off with crossbows for your marksmen, no hand weapons for them, and generally halberds are crap.
bucklers aren't typically used much, but go for it on your heroes if you are keen
i personally suggest the youngblood get the double handed weapon and wait for a knocked down or stunned warrior to get some free xp
something like:

Captain (sword)
Champion (spear and buckler)
Champion (spear and buckler)
Youngblood (double handed weapon)
youngblood (double handed weapon)
2 x Swordsman (sword)
3x Marksman (crossbow)
2x Warrior (club)

Thanks for the, will seriously consider the crossbows, the two handed weapon on the champion was to take advantage of that extra strength point he had, But can see your reasoning in giving one to a youngblood to gain experience, once they got strongman they would be awesome

Oh and have just discovere some fairly horrible miscalculations from that original list, so major overhaul time as it is, new idea stands at

Captain ... hammer and axe
Champion... DH weapon
Champion ... spear and buckler
Youngblood ... DH weapon
youngblood ... spear and buckler
2 x swordsman ... sword
3 x marksman ... crossbow (decided with this many melee guys a stationary base of fire should be safe)
this leaves me with 27 gc still going spare, but i dnot fancy such an underquipped warrior, so maybe a duelling pistol for the captain to pop a few shots off before the charge hits home
