2 units cavalry
3 units skirmishers
Plus 46 peltasts however we want to categorise them
Excellent. The peltasts would typically be light infantry units, either standard size or small (around 12 figures). Greek cavalry are also typically small units of 6 to 8 so that they're a nuisance rather than a battle winner. You've got enough figures for probably 3 divisions - a sensible army for a game on its own right.
Excellent. I think one of my cav units is 10 and one is 12 so could potentially do 2 or 3 units depending on what is needed. If Greek cavalry achieve Nuisance then they are overperforming :)

If a LI unit is standard size (24 figures?) is it still just a cloud or do they need some sort of basing ? I've got one unit of 30 thracians and one unit of greek style ones (16) - happy to use them however it works best for the game

Did the ointment not work, then? :oops:

Dreadful things testudis. If the ointment isn't working you will need anti virals.
