Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Hellenistic Greek list (#37) provides that up to 1/2 of each type of
thureophoroi/hoplite/pikeman may be upgraded to heavy. I assume this means
1/2 the total number of figures as to each type, i.e., one may upgrade
entire units or only some ranks within units as long as the maximum 1/2 is
not exceeded for any trrop type, right? Thus, each of my hoplite units can
be front rank HI, back rank MI, and each of my thureophoroi units can be
1/2 LHI, 1/2 LMI.

Second, are any troops denominated thureophoroi eligible for this armor
upgrade? I'm thinking here of thureophoroi whose names have adjectives,
like *Mercenary Thureophoroi* and *Cretan Mercenary Thureophoroi*. These
would appear to be thureophoroi, correct?
