Ok, Mark, you win - I didn't answer with every implication. The troops
eligible to fight with only LTS (that is, in excess of the troops eligible to
fight with JLS) fight with just LTS, not both.

So, I just want to be sure I understand this. I've been frantically looking for
my copy of the rules, and can't dig it up at present, so I'll just ask.

Let us suppose that 24 Peltasts (LMI LTS,JLS,Sh), in two ranks, are charging 24
Auxilia, in 2 ranks (LMI, JLS, Sh). My assumption has been that the factors for
the Peltasts would be as follows:
18 figures fighting with both LTS,JLS (since JLS fights in a rank and a half),
thus 18 @ 3 (vs. LMI) +1 (charging) +1 (JLS) = 18@5
6 figures fighting with just LTS (since LTS fights in two ranks charging foot),
thus 6 @ 3( vs. LMI) +1 (charging) = 6@4

Jon's terse but substantive reply above says, as far as I can tell, that all 24
figures fight with both LTS and JLS at first contact.

So is it:
(a) 18@5 + 6@4
(b) 24@5
