Did Some Playtesting

A few friends and I playtested the rules using the following pieces:
Light fighters (Aztecs)
Light fighters, slings and javelins (Aztecs)
Light fighters (wardogs... Spaniards)
Medium fighters (Aztecs, suit wearers)
Elite Medim fighters (Aztecs, Otomi)
Medium fighters, crossbow (Spaniards)
Medium fighters, arquebus (Spaniards)
Elite Heavy fighters (Spanish swordsmen)
Heavy horse (Spaniards)
Cannon (Spaniards)

Elite is a new characteristic I'm playing with. Elite fighters have the same combat dice, but 5's count as 6's.

My point system seems to be pretty off. A reasonably even game was to be had at the following point totals:

Light fighters 1 point
Light slingers and javelineers: 2 points
Medium fighters 2 points
Elite Medium fighters 3 points
Elite Heavy fighters 4 points
Heavy horse 8 points
Cannon 7 points

Elite would cost 1 point, then

Crossbow range was Short, 1-4 and Long, 4-18

Arquebus range was short, 1-4 and long, 4-12 (no save allowed)
