General Swifter than Eagles question

Hi all,

Ive finally built up the willpower to rebase some of my 6mm ancients and im getting the Swifter than Eagles book but it wont get to me for a while, so are the majority of foot in a light chariot based army MF? Are they bow or spear/sword? Are they in mixed battle groups? I assume they come in sizes of approx 6-10

Thanks

Con

They vary from army to army.
You'd have to be more specific to get a better answer than this.
Most foot in that book are MF, with some LF and hardly any HF. I don't think there are many mixed groups.
Spaers and bows and swordmen everywhere, but not all armies have all.

Thanks for the reply pezhetairoi, sorry for the vague question but I know very little about armies of this period.

I have alot of light chariots but few heavy chariots so if I base my foot on medium foot bases I should be okay.
