I was recently looking at the Dupplin Moor scenario from Scottish Wars. It shows two Dwarven spear units fighting with the English. Is that correct? I would have expected Goblinoid or Human spearman. Should this scenario be changed?
The Battle of Dupplin Moor
Did you read the battle's story?
Like many of Battlelore's adventures, Dupplin Moor is based on an actual battle during the 2nd War for Scottish Independence. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dupplin_Moor
Oh, so Edward Balliol was Dwarven. I didn't realize that all Scots were Dwarven. Then, what nationality are Goblins? Welsh? Irish?
Definitely Irish.
So Irish have had mountes archers? I thought that Goblins were more eastern mercenaries.
Yeah, me too. The whole curved blades and strange mounts always cried non-European to me.
I'm guessing that the Welsh or Irish will be represented by a Fae or Elven race...maybe. Then again, the Welsh already appear in adventures, if I'm not mistaken, and they appear to be human.

I think you're right. I remember reading somewhere that they were thought to have originated in a desert nation. I guess that would make them Moors.
