A Taxis is a "Batallion" and a Syntagma is a "Platoon" if you will, a Syntagma is a part of a Taxis (I think). The Toxotoi Kretikoi I imagine would be with the Psiloi.

Ok, cheers. New problem has arisen: I need really 1 more unit, orelse I need to dispence with my Companion Cavalry. This is my current (rough) layout:
1 General
2 Hippakontistai
1 Akontistai
1 Toxaoi Kretikoi
1 Sphendonetai
1 Hypapists
6 Phalanxes
1 Thrakioi Peltastae
1 Peltastae
2 Agrianikoi Pelikephoroi
1 Hippeis Thesalikoi
1 Hetairoi
And I think that's it. Problem is, is that's 21 units. Errr... help?
EDIT:That's actually 19. My bad, counted the Agrians twice. To fill that extra slot I'm probably going to use a Pheraspidai or another General. Thoughts?

You could ditch one Hetairoi, and replace one Hippakontistai with Hetairoi Aspidophoroi? (Gives comparatively large numbers of Aspidophoroi, though).
By no means do I really know anything about the Maks. It just seem practical if you want to balance your army; or else you could ditch on Pelekuphoroi unit.

Thanks Tellos, I'll be replacing both my Hippokontistai with Hetairoi Aspidophoroi (I was working from the old unit cards, so didn't know about HAs) Not sure what to get to ill that extra slot. Either another FM or a Pheraspidai, whic will be going behind my Hypapistai or my Hetairoi respectively.
Where though, should I put my General? With the Hets, or behind The Allied Light Infantry (In this case, Agrians)
