 |
|
I was wondering if there is a standard Warrior list for the composition of a Polybian Roman (Punic War era) legion?
The army list doesn't make this very clear--would it be the minimums for each of the hastati/principes (8 ), triari (4), velites (4), and cav (1)? (Doesn't seem right, since elsewhere it says that triari can't be more than 1/3 of hastati/principes...).
Similarly, how are the ala of a Polybian Legion treated? From what I've read, they were equipped like the legion itself, but should they be Raw, for instance? I see that there are also "Allied" Italian infantry, but they look like a totally different beast (LMI, JLS, etc).

I'll be interested in what some of our list concoctors do, Todd, Frank.
I can't remember off hand the last time somebody ran Polybians so maybe they can provide a list.
Wanna make sure we don't have a long-missed ambiguity in there.

Just to clarify, I'm not looking for a list to be used in competitive play, but actual legions for use in a campaign that I'm setting up. So perhaps something from a "scenario" or historical battle, if there are any such? |
