This list is designed to simulate the later Pagan Prussian armies that fought the Teutonic Order, Pagan Lithuanians, Christian Polish, Orthodox Russian forces and Baltic Scandinavian settlers, as well as each other.
As the period progressed, more emphasis was put on fighting against cavalry using ambush from dense terrain, hence the option to field more WB. Similarly contemporary chroniclers comment that the wealthier Prussians were starting to adopt more westernised armour, in particular mail shirts and conical helms. However the bow, axe and javelin were still the primary weapons.
