Slitherine

Somehow it doesn't seem right to name the 5 Persian lists

Early Acheamennid Persian a
Early Acheamennid Persian b
Early Acheamennid Persian c
Early Acheamennid Persian d
Early Acheamennid Persian e

Surely better names could be given? (Darius) (Xerxes) (Cyrus) (vs Lydia) (vs Egypt) whatever...

I'm not clued up on this army's history, so perhaps someone might like to help match the campaign/king with the letter? Then perhaps we can petition Slitherine to give these armies proper names!

Cheers,
Ian

I thought that was a grading system, A being best , E worse ( in which case the Darius list should be remaned LAP F )

Does the "e" stand for excruciating, by any chance?

You better throw that thing, TGM - the pin has fallen out!

So are we agreed...

Early Achaemenid Persian (Average)
Early Achaemenid Persian (Bad)
Early Achaemenid Persian (Cr*p)
Early Achaemenid Persian (Dreadful)
Early Achaemenid Persian (Excruciating)

Nice, problem solved

I like your Mark 3 sig BTW, I must admit I miss my Gallic Noble

The armies could probably be:

EAP(Cyrus) - Would also cover Cambyses conquest of Egypt.
EAP(Darius)
EAP(Greek Wars)
EAP(Plataea Campaign)
EAP(late) - This is almost a mid Achaemenid Persian list. Also corresponds to the period of Xenophon and the 10,000.

Nice one Chris! I'll post this in tech support and see what happens.
