	Pecheneg (DBA 109)
		The Pecheneg leader replied politely that since the the Turks were both numerous and fierce, they did not wish to do this, and furthermore, they hoped the Byzantine emperor would be so tactful as to never mention the matter again.
		Unless you are creative in your use of the War Wagons, the burden necessarily falls on the Pecheneg Light Horse, which is hardly intimidating to armies that are similar composed such as the Ghuzz, Magyars, and Cumans, and especially not to the heavier Khazar and Byzantines with their cavalry and/or steady foot.
		A Pecheneg is illustrated in a studded leather kaftan although trimmed in fur around the wrists and brocade along the waist.

		Pecheneg is based on the PKM and shares with it about 80% of common parts.
		Overall impression on the Pecheneg is somewhat controversial - some sources said that it is a real improvement over the almost 40 years old Kalashnikov MG, others are in doubt that a fixed barrel will maintain its effectivness during the prolonged fire sessions.
		The only real complaint about Pecheneg is about the placement of the bipod - sometimes it is better to have bipods mounted closer to the receiver, and on Pecheneg the only mounting point for bipod is under the muzzle.

		The Pechenegs were so successful that they drove the Magyars remaining in EtelkÃ¶z and the Pontic steppes, forcing them westward up the lower Danube, Transdanubia and towards the Pannonian plain, where they later founded a Hungarian state.

		Emperor John II Komnenos of Byzantium (1118â“43) determined to meet the invaders in the field and drive them back, and therefore transferred his field army from Asia Minor (where it had been engaged against the Turks) to Europe, and prepared to march north.
		For some time, significant communities of Pechenegs still remained in Hungary, but eventually the Pechenegs ceased to be a distinct people and were assimilated by neighboring peoples such as the Bulgars and Magyars.
