dictionary scutarii ; Scutarii
category infantry
class light
So you see they are classified as light, just liek Hastati who have mass 1. So that is ok.
The mess-up can be that the Bull Warriors have the same armour as those two, but then Bastarnae should be mass 1 too and be light infantry. It all gets quite confusing if we use armour as a way to do it.
You forgot about the Bastarnae (both factional and corrected mercs) before. They are lighter than the Bull Warriors but get the mass 1.3 as they should.
Btw, I was wrong before. The Spartans are significantly stronger than the Bulls. They can beat them hands down out of phalanx and even with the bulls getting off their pila and even with equal mass. So the near equal cost should really have some basis in the mass at least.
They are the only heavy, non-spear, infantry that don't get 1.3 or 1.5, disregarding Swordsmen.
