Leukaspides and Prodromoi
Just wondering aobut a few things that I thought the EB team might be able to figure out.
1) At Raphia, Antiochus the Great brought with him a contingent of Leukaspides or 'white shields(Not the Cadian Variety),' who were these guys? I have heard conjecture on the RTR forum that they were semi-professional phalanx infantry. I have also heard that they were an elite type of Macedonian phalanx.
2) Prodromoi seem to have been supporting cavalry used for recon or skirmishing. Why are they represented as medium uber cavalry in EB?
