Question about Reading the Army Lists

Post by hangarflying »

Regarding allies, which list should I use to build the allied army?

For example, in the Rise of Rome supplement book, the Mid-Republican Roman army list on page 9 has "Altolian allies -- Hellenistic Greek -- See Field of Glory Companion 3: ... ", "Numidian allies", "Pergamene allies", and "Spanish allies" listed. For the Numidians, Pergamenes, and Spanish use the Mid-Republican Roman Allies list on page 10 (and just call them what ever faction they happen to be) or do I use the lists found on pages 32, 37, or 40 respectively?

I don't have companion book 3, but I imagine there is a list there for the Altolians. Would I just use the list in that book, or use the list on page 10 and just call them "Altolians".

Thanks!

The Numidians have a base army list in Rise of Rome on page 40 with their allied list on p. 41. This is the list you use for Numidian Allies.
The Attalid Pergamenne and the Ancient Spanish also have base army lists in Rise of Rome with corresponding Ally lists. You use these ally lists for those allies.

The only allies you use the Middle Republican Roman Allied list for are Middle Republican Roman Allies (which only appears in the Hellenistic Greek list for Eleian Greeks).

Hope that helps.

Ah Ha! That makes sense! Thanks!
