Hoplite army design - Is It Legal?

Post by christospap »

Hello everyone,

I would just require a bit of advice, in order to decide upon my future Classical Greek army design:

Is it legal to build a Thessalian army with two generals (one C-in-C and one Sub-General), accompanied by one Spartan Ally-general and by one [Italiot-Asiatic Greek-Sicilian-whatever else) Ally-general?

The aim is to have the main bulk of the army made up of average Thessalians, then have a contingent of strong Spartans and another of weak Asiatics/Italiots.

I'm not so much interested in whether it's historical or how it should be formed. What I'm only interested in is, Is It Legal?

I read and re-read the army notes (mostly because I had this idea about the Spartan ally-general not being able to submit to a non-Spartan C-in-C, but that was probably DBM) and I couldn't locate anything that would prohibit such an army, but then again my reading might not be so reliable.

What do you think?

Thank you,
Christos

I can't see anything that makes this illegal in principal, providing your list obeys all of the restrictions relating to the allied contingents, e.g. you would only be able to upgrade 12 of your hoplites to Drilled Superior.
