I fidn this a bit of a tough call...

in my Mak campaign I had the choice...and what a weird choice it is....

Peltastai are ~30mnai more expensive. and thureophori have 1 def point more....
Bút there are probably some many, many "hidden stats" like ammo, range and probably attack"speed"...

I know the basic difference between a Thureo. and a peltast. (at least, i thínk I do) but when having just enough cash to choose between the two, wich O wich.....
