NATIONAL ARMY LISTS FOR THE PIKEMAN’S LAMENT

I and Dan have had some questions regarding national army lists for The Pikemans Lament. We chose to exclude them from the rules, as at the company level we set our games at, you wouldn’t have troops representing the overall ratios of a national army. But since it seems like some players would like to have them, who are we to say no? So here’s a bunch of national army lists for different conflicts for the period 1618-1721. The lists are by no means complete or set in stone, so please feel free to adjust our suggestions as you wish.
