One thing you'll quickly learn is that mounted battalions take up a LOT of room, so your MOC has to be huge to accommodate them. Also, prior to the new horse design, the amount of action you could portray with the old horse mold was pretty limited, so having a whole battalion of horses didn't look as dynamic as it should have.PsychoPixie wrote:It really surprises me that we dont see more mounted battalions in the big MOC castles.

Interesting comment about it varying depending on what type of bow they were using. This led me to look into whether crossbows or longbows had longer effective ranges, and it seems that the results are extremely varied, depending on what type of crossbow you're talking about, since the draw weight on them varied anywhere from 100-300 lbs.
