I'd like to field a couple of newlt-raised legionary TuGs from the Late Republican Roman Pacto list. What points per base would would they be and would they have the option of melee expert?
I've sussed it. Er, thanks anyway.
Would think it inappropriate to have Mele expert on a newly raised legion which presumably you would make poor. Alternatively you could use it as Trained non Mele expert. You should be able to see the points on the army builder.
I believe the justification for melee expert on Romans has always been to represent how effective a cutter the gladius was rather than the relative skill of the men wielding it. So assuming you agree that the gladius warrants melee expert I suppose raw legionaries would be poor melee expert.

I think you'd be wrong there.
Could be, I just remember when I asked about Rhomphaia being classified as being melee expert instead of 2hcc the gladius was given as an example of a similar weapon rated as melee expert.
