hi there,
I know EB has chosen to portrait hypaspistai ( royal guards) as hoplitai. But according to many people on the www (sorry for not havign any primal source) state that they ahd a versatile role: flexible assault unit, hoplites (probably) and even skirmishers. that, and soem other Q's
Wich 'factions' will have acces to Hypaspistai?
will there be only 1 unit (hoplitai)?
(will argyraspidai be available to Macedon?)
2e Q; i saw in (dont snet the death squad) RTR (..) they ahd 2 versions of the Hypaspistai: a swordsmen, and a spearmen-carrying 2-4 jav's. so will 2 units be managable (slots etc) or will the only hypaspistai be capable enough with his sword?
another Question shas arissen: if there is so little known about their EQ. where did you find they adopted a Galatian sword? (curious)
