Early Germans List LT

Post by TheGrayMouser »

Spurred by some comments by some players about the EG lists in in Lt especially the Tencteri, decided to compare the 4 lists in the PC game vs the single list in the TT book and noticed some oddities (that being said the EG list in the TT is actually quite complicated and unique vs other TT lists, somewhat surprisingly)

In the TT
allies: the TT can take gauls as allies but only PRIOR to 101 BC
Batavians/tencteri are not sperate lists but can take BG's for those tribes as part of their normal army if grouped under an Allied general of the same tribe (note this is NOT the same as an ally per se)
Batvian "deserters" etc are only avaible for special campaigns during the revolt of 69 AD

In the PC
4 seperate lists( Batavian, Early Early German, late Early German, Tencteri) , all can take Gauls as Allies, the Tencteri list additionaly has no option for cavalry but only for light cavalry....

Suggestion to make these lists more historical, more likly to be used and in line with the TT:

**Batavians : this list clearly is based off the Batavian army during the revolt of 69 ad so for the most part should remain as is with the exception that Gallic allied be removed(why would you need MORE medium impact foor anyway?)
The gauls as an ally should be replaced with Early German Ally with choice for a few cavalry and heavy impact foot.

**Early Early Germans:
remain as is with the Gallic ally
add Batavian ally ( note the batavian ally would only include the basic medium impact foot, not any of the Aux deserters from the 69 ad revolt)

**late Early Germans
as is with the Sarmatian lancer option
ditch the Gallic ally
add Batavian Ally (whether a few Aux types should be included would need to be determined)
add Tecnteri Ally which would give option for 2-6 light cavalry or so a few normal heavy impact foot, otherwise why even take them?)

**Tencteri ditch them altogther

any thoughts?
