First a note. It seems that I printed out the list and the peltast
information is out of sinc. Might want to check it.

Now the list is fine per say, but I have some heartburn on the LHI
Ekdromoi detachments. These guys would end up doing the fighting in
this army, and there is little record to suggest they were used in
numbers, as detachments, or in coordination with hoplites as this
list might suggest. I just see that it would be abused out of
historical proportion. The hoplites as B or A would just launch the
detachments and wait; if the detachment routs it is a passable waver
test and the detachment would simply rejoin the parent and reorder.
I can't think of an instance in Greek warfare where this happened.

I also think the Athenian CNC should have 1 sub, but all Athenians
should be: 1/2 IrgA & 1/2 IrgC early, then 1/2 IrgB and 1/2 IrgD
later.

All HI upgrades should be disallowed after Plataea except for Spartan
citizens.


thebans under Epimenondas:
Sacred band as IrgA MI P/sh based upon use, temperment, and moral
effect in combat
Citizens as RgB/C MI LTS/sh

The sacred band are reference by biographers of Philip of Macedon as
introducing the "long spear" concept during his hostage years as well
as the deep formation.


Spartans:
All Spartan units should have the option of running IrgD LI S or
JLS/sh detachments as helots. Also I think that any enemy ally
general should have a 1/3 greater chance of being unreliable if
facing Spartans...

Phocans need artillery and IrgB LI J/S/sh


These are just some suggestions, and like all opinions it is just my
take on things.
