Seleucid; pikes or swords?
Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2012 9:15 pm
My seleucid army is combined arms. With 2 groups fo cats, 2 groups elephants and 2 groups Lh making up the mounted part and 2 grops MF, 2 groups imitation legionares (4's) and 1 group of pike (12 bases) for the foot part with some poor LF for fill.
I does seem like I'm using too many toys, but the foot and mounted can function seperately and are very effective when coordinated well (the challenge of getting that right is a large part of why I enjoy the army so much) or the elephants bridge the gap quite well.
I was considering replacing the legionares with pikes (a group of 8 average pike is cheaper than 4 legionares) or should I leave it as is with the more manouverable legionares supporting the pike?
