Scottorum Malleus Armies

Dan Mersey's Scottorum Malleus rules have been a real eye opener and source of fun for me lately.  I rebased and freshened the paint jobs on my 6mm Feudals as well as rebasing and fixing up the 15mm guys to square with the rules.  It occurred to me that I needed some bespoke terrain and maybe a board to use with them.  

I`m planning to extend the 15mm forces over the summer, to cover the armies of the British Isles, France and Northern Europe in general.  For that I need an idea of my figure requirements.

I've read into the 13th Century battles in France and the British Isles, looking at troop types, terrain and organisation.  I can build up most of the armies I need from only s core of troops.  

Troop types
Good Cavalry @5. BR
(May dismount as foot knights @5)
Average Cavalry @3 BR
Good Infantry @4 BR
Average Infantry @3 BR
Good Missile Infantry @4 BR
Average Missile infantry @3 BR
Skirmishers @2 BR

I've added Poor Infantry (Levies etc) @1 BR, but I don't expect much from them.

Dover and Sandwich 1217  French vs Royalist English
