Ok guys common we are not sure what he brought, but for gameplay reasons do you really want a general with normal hoplites or peltasts as bodyguards?! I think that the Spartans are the best option for Xan.
On a sidenote and tought that maybe some of you guys may be interested.
Some scholars say that Xanthippos was defending Sparta during the attack of Pyrrhus and it is said that the elephant tactics that he used against Regulus were learned from what he saw from Pyrrhus.
Other interesting fact is that after his service with Carthage, he went under the service of the Ptolemies because he was causing a lot of envy between the Carthaginian aristocracy.
