Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Scott,

After running Seleucid at Historicon, I had some questions concerning the list:

In the special Macedonian companion cavalry rules, it states that they apply to
"the Early Period of lists 27-28 and 30". Does this just cover the Agema and
Companions or does it include the Settler cav?

You are allowed up to 6 elements of Elephant Escorts, but in the early period
you can have up to 8 elephants. Is this a correct?

The arab levy are Irr D MI/LMI/LI JLS or B, with no shield. But in a later line,
you can give all JLS armed LI a shield. So, they drop their sheilds because they
decided to stand closer together? Or are they supposed to be excluded from this?

Finally, it looks like there is a discrepancy with the Cretan Archers. They are
listed as LI B, Sh @ 8 pts, which appears to be correct. The last line of the
list, the one which gives JLS and S armed LI a shield also grants one to the
Cretan Archers. The same problem exists in the Ptolemaic list.

I had spotted some of these too, i would have thought the cretans would
start out unshielded with the option to upgrade, the same goes for the camels
(at
least the bow armed ones).

I posted this about a month and a half ago, but haven't heard any response, so
I'd take another stab at it.

Scott,

After running Seleucid at Historicon, I had some questions concerning the list:

In the special Macedonian companion cavalry rules, it states that they apply to

Companions or does it include the Settler cav?

You are allowed up to 6 elements of Elephant Escorts, but in the early period
you can have up to 8 elephants. Is this correct? Should you have less escorts
than elephants?

The arab levy are Irr D MI/LMI/LI JLS or B, with no shield. But in a later line,
you can give all JLS armed LI a shield. So, they drop their shields because they
decided to stand closer together? Or are they supposed to be excluded from this?

I've had this for action Steve, sorry it's taken me so long to
reply. It does not include Settler Cav. Take it very literally.

> You are allowed up to 6 elements of Elephant Escorts, but in the
early period you can have up to 8 elephants. Is this correct? Should
you have less escorts than elephants?

You should. That was *very* deliberate on our part.

> The arab levy are Irr D MI/LMI/LI JLS or B, with no shield. But in

Again, read this very literally. JLS-armed LI get the shield, the
other guys do not. Believe me, I looked up every source I could on
getting the Arab levy just right. Lotsa time on that line item.

Thanks for catching that. The change has been made although not
posted yet. I'm sitting on a load of erata until I get the cleaned
up Swiss stuff done.
