Correct, I'm just striking out on it.. Her first appearance will probably end up being when Havel shows up much as in canon at this rate.

Well plate armor is too expensive for everyone, to build from scratch, if harvesting mild gauge steel well, you can make plate using a hydraulic press and not needing electricity... [I know this because I have a friend who did it in his shop, and its fairly good range of motion] its still work and you need to find the steel but its possible (and that will show up later) as for the horses thats true on the steppe, the problem with that is elevation and terrain... now admittedly here you still have modern paved roads which means you can do that distance and its easier on the horses and you can go further, also modern horses are really impressived compared to their medieval versions (breed differentials in the archaeological record for just the Finnish pony is a world of difference) but that also is +400 years of selective breeding and better vetinary care which is really the hard thing to maintain without electricity.Mongols could make 100km per day with spare horses,polish winged hussarls 80km per day with spare horses,too.And they have half-plate and mail
What could they use for militia -
1.Molotow coctail
2.Ballista throwing molotow coctails/for defending buildings/
3.plumbata
4.Crossbows.
5.helbards or polearms.
6.maces and schields.
7.helmets and brigantines.
Certainly not bows and swords,you need years to properly use them.
And plate armour would be too expensive.

Polearms, and helmets for days, good shoes need to be stockpiled.
Clubs are effective, I should done a better job of clarifying, that in this case its more Jim and Turk are carrying them because they're both LEOs looking to have a nonlethal option and Alexander is dubious about exactly how nonlethal they should be in the given situation.clubs was great against mail armour.According to first polish writer,Anonim Gall/well,he was french monk,but wrote in Poland - so,polish writer/ czech in mail armour fighting poles could be killed with stick.
Not so against plate,but - blades was not efficient there,too.
Personally,i would use something like first polish winged hussarls when they becomed heavy calvary - half plate on mail.
P.S romans should use plumbate instead of pilum - better range,and could have more then 2.
