This list represents the Anglo-Scottish Border forces which could be raised on both sides of the border, until the accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne. The Eliots are reported to have been able to put 3000 men in the saddle 'within the hour'. Even allowing for hyperbole, a considerable force could potentially be raised, and a raiding party of 2000 is reported in 1593, and there are reports of 3000 lances. Border Riders may always dismount as either Pk(O) if Scottish or Bd(O) if English. Alternatively, they may dismount as Wb(O) regardless of nationality. This latter represents the variety of weapons the Borderers tended to carry. The option for a Ln(F) C-in-C represents the English March Wardens (or deputy warden), and their forces. A March Warden may command any troops, ally borderer generals only other borderers. The ally rating for the generals reflects the internecine feuding between border families on both sides. The French allies for the Scots represent the forces deployed around the southern Scottish towns during the rough wooing and vicious fighting on the border during the period after the battle of Pinkie. The French may include carracks or galleys, but may not consist of just these. The Scots Common ally represents the remains of the Scottish national force after Pinkie. The English garrisons at Berwick and Carlisle probably contained pikemen when they were used in the English Tudor army, but these were not necessarily committed in the generally difficult country of the border. The garrison of Berwick was 667 strong in 1587. At Solway Moss (1542) Wharton commanded about 3000 men, of whom 800 or so were borderers. There is no evidence that mercenaries were deployed to border garrisons.
