Granadines (1232-1492)
(DBA 155)
The Moorish Emirate of Granada represented the last toehold of Islam in Hispania and it resisted the Christian reconquista for over 250 years mostly through payoffs and screwd diplomacy, but also by dint of its still formidable fighting men. The DBA army consists of a small corps of knights (including mercenary Christians) or cavalry, supplemented by jinetes (Light Horse), spear, crossbowmen, and skirmishers.
The following resources are available for the Granadine gamer:
