**UPDATE**

I've added the equitata part of the unit's title to the list, for those that seek more info!!!
Thank you lcjr for your most helpful detailed exposition.

Thanks Spedius I hadn't seen this information before.

Alae are cavalry and I'm sure you all know what cohorts are.

Under Augustus' reforms the two main types of Auxillery Cavalry were the Ala Quingeneria with 16 Turmae(30 men) and the Ala Militaria with 24 Turmae.

Two main types of Auxillery infantry were the Cohors Quingeneria with 6 Centuriae(80 men) and the Cohors Milliaria with 10 Centuriae.

There also existed Cohors Equitata which added 4 Turmae of cavalry to Cohors Quingeneria and 8 Turmae to a Cohors Milliaria.

So anyone tried editing unit sizes yet?

Great info, and lcrj, shouldnt be hard, Ill go try now..
