    Default Re: about indo-hellenic units

    Well, I've pondered a bit about the missing "Pezhetairoi Indoi" and had the idea of "simulating" them by giving some (or all) of the five Indian provinces the A.o.R. of the "normal" Pezhetairoi.

    Hence I ask those of you with a deeper insight to that region if
    - this idea is accurate, and
    - what provinces I should choose.

    T.

    EDIT:
    P.S. ... and I thought to remove the Baktrian Region Pezhetairoi A.o.R. too. T'would make more sense IMHO to let Baktria exclusiv(e/i)ly recruit Pezhetairoi in India. ADD: ... but are just my ideas for "simulating" the P.I.

    BTW: My idea of removing the Pezhetairio from/of the Baktrian A.o.R. has othing to do with criticism/accururancy/et. al., but simply that I do need them there.

    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
