veterans cohorts outside Italy?

Hi ,
Does anyone know wether you can recruit veteran's cohorts outside of Italy
before imperial reforms?

I don't think your meant to. Evocati are only recruitable in Italy. As are the Praetorians after them.

You can't because there isn't a significant enough compliment of Roman veterans. This isn't something that is going to change in EB1

thanks guys..thought so...back to endlessly long re-supply then.
