Some queries regarding EB's units...

Linothorax has been tested by reenactment and found to be quite resilient to thrusts and blunt trauma. Furthermore, chain mail would actually be weak against a thrust since the rings could split, but it is generally better against a slash - quite good, in fact. Reinforced linothorax is quite excellent armor as well due to the iron banding or scale. As such, reinforced linothorax is equal to chain mail.

The hoplites have helmets (which are Attic, not Corinthian) with cheek-guards, plus two greaves, plus reinforced linothorax and hence the higher value. If anything, it seems we may have made a mistake and that the hoplites armor value should be 12, the triarii 11, and the cohors reformata 10 since they lack greaves.
