So, how does everyone make their Legions?

I have just recently downloaded EB and haven't slept since, so i'm only in the camillan era. I am playing as the Romani (of course ).


Here is my basic setup:

4 Hastati
4 Princepes
4 Triarii
1 Leves
2 Rorarii
2 Accensi
1 Consular Guard Cavalry
2 Camillan People's Cavalry (Thier name slips my mind)


I chose this Legion setup in an historical sense. EB is great already, and role-playing it with realistic legions is great.

I set up my Legion in a Manipular formation, 1 (leves) 4-4-4 (H,P,T) 2 (rorarii) 2 (accensi) 1 Consular, with cavalry on the flanks.

I've read multiple sources on how to fight with them. After my Leves run out of ammo or the enemy starts to advance, I retreat my Leves back to inbetween my General and Accensi line. As I do this, I run my Hastati into a single line (4 ranks deep instead of 8 as previous) on guard mode and fire at will. When my Hastati get to a winded state, I turn on FAW for my Princepes, and then charge with them. As the squares of Princepes arrive behind the hastati, I run my Hastati into their respective "squares", making a single line of alternating units (hastati, princepes, hastati...). I then run my hastati back where the princepes were, and form a single line with the Princepes simultaneously. I then repeat the whole process.

To say the least, I havent lost a single battle as of yet, even when I was being attacked by two full stacks of Arvenii.

Does anyone else use historically acurate Legions/Armies?
