*Sayf al Dawla had 500 or so Turkish ghulams who are reported as having delivered very fierce charges as at Hadat. The combined total of Emir's and municipal ghulams may not outnumber the combined number of al-thughur or al-awasim HC and Kurdish HC.
**Daylami and Turks may not be in the same division.
***Daylami FT and LHI Daylami are mutually exclusive choices. LHI and LI Daylami are mutually exclusive choices. One may have units of one type or the other but not both. One may have Daylami FT and Daylami LI in the same army. If the LI are characterized as Kurds, the total number of Kurdish LI available is reduced to 2. One may have both Kurdish LI and Daylami LHI in the same army.
****WB's are BP 3, move 9 inches and MAY break off.
