    Default Re: Sweboz Battlefield Tactics, AKA "Quinctilius Varus..."

    Here are some of the tactics I use:

    Early game (Celts/other Germans):

    -------skutjonez----------------------skutjonez------- (Guard mode on, skirmish off)
    -duguntz-gaisofulxofrijod-gaisofulxofrijod-duguntz- (Guard mode on)
    -------xosenthozez---------------xosenthozez--------

    With this model: Skutjonez draw missile fire and bear the brunt of enemy charges. GaisofulXo Frijod charge in, once the enemy closes with Skujonez, and hold the enemy in place. Dugunthz exhaust their javelins and charge in to support the GaisofulXo Frijod. Xosenthozez flank.


    Late game (Roman killing):

    -----------------Medjinikos---------------------------------Medjinikos------------------- (Guard on, Skirmish off)
    -Korodrougas-Speutogordoz-Gaizazaljod-Gaizazaljod-Speutogordoz-Korodrougas-1
    --Xosenthozez-Kirwinikos-Xerunoudozez-Xerunoudozez-Kirwinikos-Xosenthozez--2
    -Iaosatae---Curepos--DruXtizbasterniska-Druxtizbasterniska--Curepos---Iaosatae-3

    Medjinikos serve the same purpose as Skujonez above, though they are much better at holding the enemy and can do far greater damage.
    Line 1 is just line infantry. Line 2 can be used to reinforce the line, expand the line, or flank as needed. Line 3 is pure flanking, Iaosatae, should have FAW off until they get behind the enemy, Curepos are mostly for general hunting. Obviously, this a "grand army" and you're probably not going to field more than one. Also note that many units can be interchangeable: maybe you don't like Korodrougas and choose to use Xosenthozez or Gallic swordsmen; maybe you want a scare factor and want to sub out Gaizoz Alje for Uirodusios, Vojinoz, or Skaduganganz; Mori Gaesum are a more versatile alternative to Speutogordoz, as are Appea Gaedotos; DruXtiz Basterniska could be subbed for Kludda Lugiae; Kirwinikos can be subbed out for Slaxonez or Jugundiz Xattisku for a cheaper option or Tekastos, Worgozez, or Teceitos for a more grandiose one.


    Late game (Sauromatae killing):

    6 Medjinkos
    6 Iaosatae
    4 Koroudrogas
    4 Gaizaz Alje
