Thank you for your answer which is not at all too short.

I think the term peltast for a javelinman with the thureos is correct, I have just problems with the body armour. Same for the thureophoros. The thureophoroi with body armour in the pictures, are they not simply thorakitai? Ok, no need to debate it further, I understand your view.

I concur now with your argument that a reform is too much and the need for another MIC is enough, just as it is now.

I have given my thureophoroi less armour, more javelins and deleted the "use before charge" function. It will be nice when in EB2 you create the "skirmisher thureophoros" without greaves (and perhaps body armour), as you said.
