    wait! if you use deuteroi-they should have higher exp and attack-to reflect better training and efficiancy than later actual "deuteroi" -though armor can be same...
    also prodromoi in EB are way too heavy for Alexander's army-try Illyrian cav. or hippakontistai minus javelins maybe.

    I can recommend Conquest and Empire by AB Bosworth. Easy to read and gives the dispositions of various troops. It's been borrowed so I can't print them here and have a Eumenes style hangover so am unable to rmeember them. (or type apparently)

    Cheers

    We have fed our sea for a thousand years
    And she calls us, still unfed,
    Though there’s never a wave of all her waves
    But marks our English dead:
    We have strawed our best to the weed’s unrest,
    To the shark and the sheering gull.
    If blood be the price of admiralty,
    Lord God, we ha’ paid in full!

    The problem with all this is there's no way to know whether the Prodoumoi, Thracians and Paeonians were skirmishers or lancers half the time. There is a reference to "the lancers" which doesn't equate to the Companions or Thessalians, both of whom probably were heavy-armed, and it probably is the Prodoumoi.

    There's also huge debate about how the Hypaspists were armed and how they functioned in relation to the phalanx.
