Not only did I receive my S&S yesterday, there were actually two copies in the package! Good thing I was looking for a gift for a friend,

Here is what I am building for an 800-point late Republican Army:


Commander-in-Chief--Field Comander (50 pts)
Sub-Commanders--2xTroop Comanders (70 pts)
Legionaires--5BGs (6 stands each) Superior/Armored/Drilled (420 pts)
Legionaires--1BG (4 stands) Superior/Armored/Drilled (56 pts)

Also, please note that after multiple attempts, I can spell "field ...

Bill,

Rah Virginia Mil!

If it works out, let me know...I might do the same thing with my WM Undead army...

OK...here is what I modified the list to:

Commander-in-Chief--Filed Comander (50 pts)
Sub-Commanders--2xTroop Comanders (70 pts)
Legionaires--5BGs (6 stands each) Superior/Armored/Drilled (420 pts)
Legionaires--1BG (4 stands) Superior/Armored/Drilled (56 pts)
