    Whats the difference between VH/H and VH/h ?

    @ Dayve: I find it very suspenseful the way you play your campaign, I do it almost the same way, just playing another faction and that my 2 main armies still are fullstacks.

    So in my KH-Campaign (meanwhile late):

    Royal Army (Europe)

    1x FM (Faction Leader or Faction heir, if both are too old another son or grandson of the FL)
    (core)
    4x Koinon Hellenon Phalangitai
    (heavy infantery)
    2x Thorakitai Hoplitai
    2x Thureophoroi

    (light supportive infantery)
    4x Sphendonetai Rhodioi
    3x Peltastai

    (cavallery)
    4x Hippeis Xystophoroi



    Royal Army (Mikra Asia)

    1x FM (Satrap of Mikra Asia or one of his Aids)
    (core)
    4x Koinon Hellenon Phalangitai
    (heavy infantery)
    2x Katpatuka Zanteush
    2x Thureophoroi

    (light supportive infantery)
    4x Sphendonetai Rhodioi
    3x Peltastai

    (cavallery)
    4x Hippeis Xystophoroi



    Standard Army

    1x FM (must have served in another Standard Army for at least 5 years or 5 battles)
    1x FM (second in command)
    1x FM (third in command)

    (core)
    2x Koinon Hellenon Phalangitai
    (heavy infantery)
    2x Thureophoroi
    (light infantery)
    2x Ekdromoi Hoplitai or Hoplitai Haploi
    (light supportive infantery)
    2x Peltastai
    2x Sphendonetai

    (cavallery)
    1x Hippeis
    1x Hippakontistai



    The Main armies are for emergency cases. I recommend you the same. I also am getting closer to pahlava, the late Hay heavy cavallery was a challenge alredy, but they had not so many horse archers, so its going to get even harder. 1 tip: good slingers are excellent against heavy cavallery and FM, no other unit has killed more enemy FM than my Rhodian Slingers. I also intend to create Asian Standard Armies with many archers instead of the light infantery and the light supportive infantery to fight Pahlava, it seems to be the only way.
