Amenophis · Post by **Amenophis** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 10:16 am

i don't unterstand the armylist for mid-republican roman allies on page 10 in the rise of rome army book.

* how should i use these troops?
* were is the difference to th original romans on page 9? - same troop types, same capabilities, same points, bases per bg, only the total bases are less.
* is the restricition for max. 8 bases of the optional troop list also valid for these kind of troops? if yes, how should i combine these troops to a complete legion?
* finally, these troops are not part from the digital army creator in the digital field of glory army pack - why?

thx

Allied lists are used to draw up allied contingents.

This is how a Roman ally must be made up in other armies where a Mid Roman Ally is specified.

It has no connection to the videogame

that means i can ignore these part of the list for my army, right?

Yes - it might be worth reading the appendices at the back as they give some good examples of how to build armies for the inexperienced.

No. They were saying:

"There's that nice Dave, it's inapt that he has the same name as the other one"
