    Sounds a lot like the tactics I already use, though I usually have the peltasts on the wings of the line outside the theurophoroi taking part in the battle line.


    Just to illustrate, this was my usual formation:

    ----Sph------------------Sph

    Pel-Theur-CH-CH-CH-CH-Theur-Pel

    Gal--------KA-----KA---------Kar

    H.Cav------------------------H.Cav
    L.Cav------------------------L.Cav
    L.Cav

    I'll give that a try, it's probably a more realistic use of peltastai than as medium infantry (even if they're very good at it).

    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
