    Default Tribal Militia

    The strip thing?..well prob more of a Belgae thing than your standard Central Gauls. The biggest prob is the generic nature of the unit..to get a unit that can pass as 'Tribal Militia' for all of Trans and Cis-alpine Gaul.

    These guys are you farmers and hire hands, poor folk in relation to the warrior class (Warband), conscripted to fight for their overlords. I was considering a generic plain brown or faded green shirt and some dull tartan duds. Oh, and the belt is going.
    Verci and I were also discussing whether they should have torcs. Though some wore them, many in this class evidently (at least according to current research and historical accounts) did not. So we figure, make them distinct in this aspect and leave them off the Militia?

    Ok, now as to arms. We have enabled the Warbands to throw spears. They’ll throw a volley before charging, like the Romans. The Tribal Militia will be replacing the ‘peasants’. The Skirmisher will be removed and Aquitanian Archers, Senone Slingers etc added.

    Do you think we should give the Militia some javelins to throw as well as a thrusting spear to make them quasi – light javelin skirmishers?
