Hoplite army design - Is It Legal?
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 3:42 pm
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
