First of all, I apologise if this has previously been the source of any flamewars; I'm not looking to criticise any choices on the part of the EB unit team, I am just curious about why they made this particular choice.

I was wondering why the peltastai have a good charge rating (24) and the thureophoroi (who, according to the descriptions, seem to be heavier and more melee-capable troops) have a charge rating of 1. I know that the numbers are not always in a simple relationship with each other, but 24 compared to 1 seems a pretty large difference.

Could someone in-the-know possibly explain, or are you all too damn busy to pander to overly-curious fans? ;)
