Amendment | ||||||||||
Greg Pugh points out that the extra bases allowed for the Seleucid army does not allow Argyraspids to be armed and armoured as Romans. Paul Marsh points out that there should be two bases of Argyraspids allowed: early armies should have both as Pike, later armies could have one Pike and one "Romanised". The appropriate part of the lists should now read: |
||||||||||
. | ||||||||||
No | Base Type | Ord | Exp | Wgt | Str | Weapons | Pts | |||
0-2 | Argyraspids | CO | Elt | MI | 16 | PI, SH | 36 | |||
0-1 | Roman Argyraspids | CO | Vet | HI | 14 | HW, SH | 36 | |||

Paul Marsh has now further developed his thoughts on the Seleucid list. To his mind, the Seleucids should be divided into an Early and a Late period, with the force ratios adjusted as follows: |
||||||||||
Base Type | Early | Late | ||||||||
Other Cavalry | 1 | 1 | ||||||||
Skythians | 0-1 | 0-1 | ||||||||
Tarantines | 0-1 | 0-1 | ||||||||
Phalangites | 1-4 | 1-4 | ||||||||
Asiatic Lights | 1 | 1 | ||||||||
Mercenary Archers | 0-1 | 0-1 | ||||||||
Peltasts | 1 | 1 | ||||||||
Cyrtii | 0-1 | 0-1 | ||||||||
Elephants | 0-1 | 0-1 | ||||||||

Argyraspids | 1 per 2 Phalangites | 1 | ||||||||
