Well fitting situations

[Ca Putt]

common ludens this(pikemans post) is one of the most bs posts i've read in ages, and used to follow a watch blogg for a boulevard magazine and moderated an offtopic section(I'm not boasting about this, more like a garbage collector :D )
we people who don't like romans have been VERY nice to Pikeman sofar.

well to not go entirely offtopic, I'd like to add that in my Pahlava campaign I got the MOT about at the same time that:
control of the tigris valley was cemented with the reformed gov in edessa.
the first unit of Givpanvars(I actually don'T train them as I prefer Pahlavan-i Zrehbaran but reputation is everything)
and most conveniently I also got my second noble HA-including-MIC on the western front ;) don't know why but I prefer them to the armored ones

not as cool I have to admit, but hey, no scripted (unit)reforms for the pahlavi
