Greil Mercinaries. Elthunder+Ragnell=win. Poleaxe can also be used by grounded units, and those kinds of weapons are specifically made to combat mounted units, so big advantage thar. The bow is the only edge the Rohirrim have. Metal does not make for good bows, since it doesn't have the flexibility required. However, a longbow is unusable from horseback, thus negating the Rohirim's main advantage and putting them in the Mercenary's territory.
