So far, for Early Imperial Romans, I currently have:

6 x units of Heavy Infantry (Legionaries, Veterans and Praetorians) (2 more Praetorians on the painting table)
4 units of Medium Infantry (Auxiliaries)
2 units of Auxiliary Archers
2 small units of Skirmish Archers
2 small units of Skirmish Slingers
3 units of Medium Auxiliary Cavalry
2 small units of Cataphract Cavalry
2 elephants with Cataphract riders
4 Light Artillery- Scorpion Bolters
1 Medium Artillery- Ballista
1 Heavy Artillery - Catapult

I can field a contingent of 60 Dacians, as Allies if needed (although they do need painting up 🤣🤣)

Mine are all standard size for HC, so Legionary units are 20 man and the Auxiliaries are 16 man...with the movement trays, they're 210mm and 170mm widths respectively 😀

Can you remind what the standard unit frontage is so i can work out how to divide my forces ?

I think i also mentioned about 373 posts ago(!) that my hoplites are based 2 deep not 3 deep - so we'll just have to remember how awesome they are
