    MHM. True, however...

    ...at first, Roman fought alongside their Latin Allies. During this period, Latin Allies may have added as much as 50% of the Consular Army. Later on, as the Romans ventured further away from Italy, Romans recruited local allies. ... though clearly they were not trusted as much and not recruited in such large numbers (as compared to the Latin Allies).

    I grant you I am rather aggressive in the use of none Roman units. But using 100% Roman stacks is not very historical either.

    I certainly deviate from historical patters is my heavy use of triariis... This is strictly a gaming decision. Though I would probably use more legionaries if some of my recommendations in the thread Big Shields were adopted. ...that of course is an entirely different subject.
