Thought I might post a bit of a taster from one of the Polish lists to show how I am approaching the revised book.
Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth army: The Deluge 1655-1660
Characters: King, Polish and or Lithuanian Grand Hetman, Army Standard Bearer, Catholic Bishop, Rotmistrz and Master gunner.
Core Units: Pancerni, Rajtar, Noble levy cavalry (must have at least 2 units of Noble levy) and Dragoons.
Special Units: Polish Hussars (must have 2 Pancerni units for every hussar unit), Drabant Guards (1 unit only in army) and Lithuanian Tartars.

Reiters and German Harquebusiers, German Mercenary foot and Wallachians.
Special Rules: Noble commanders must lead units of Winged Hussars and Pancerni if no characters are present in the unit. Noble Commanders cost (16 pts); see ‘Armies of Chivalry’ (p. 44), they are not considered to be characters for unit selection purposes. Noble commander has two attacks and can issue or accept challenges from characters.

*Allied units are listed under respective national lists.
Reliable Allies: If reliable allies are chosen, there must be at least one allied character to lead these contingents, they can use the army general and battle standard bonus.
Reluctant Allies: If reluctant allies are chosen, there must be at least one allied character to lead these contingents, they cannot use the army general and battle standard bonus.
Mercenaries: Mercenaries get no benefit from the general’s leadership or the battle standard bonus.
