Number of Generals

[pcelella]

I just played a game where I got what I feel was a fortunate victory using my Late Republican Romans against an Alexandrian Imperial army at 800 points each. I played with one Inspired Commander and two Troop Commanders in my force, and although things worked out, I'm not sure if I wouldn't have been better off with more and/or better commanders. I would love to hear some comments from the more experienced players on what they may feel is an ideal quantity/quality of generals for their armies (or any other armies, for that matter).

Thanks

Hi pcelella,i think it depends of what army you choose and composition you pick and what style you want to play. Also if your army is large you might need an IC to keep your forcers in command. My style of play is to out manoeuvre and with my striking BG"s to attack so i tend to pick 4 TC to lead my strike forces in melee. Once in melee a TC is as good as an IC at a lot less points.

Hope this helps.
