What “nationality” is an army before 561AD (ie what lettered options can it take)?
20-March-02 [KD] Before 561AD all armies are Austrasian and so can take options lettered [A]. However troops from other regions (including Neustrians [N]) can be taken as internal allies (subject to date restrictions on [Aq], [B], and [P] troops) by using the internal ally generals. Note that sub-generals cannot control these troops. Note also the special list note that makes these internal allies more like external allies in terms of their troops counting towards the main army’s minima/maxima. Note also that as these troops come from another region (ie army-list) any mandatory troops only available to non-Austrasian regions are not mandatory for an Austrasian army.
