My question relates to the following sub section of the Late Crusades list:
"Replace Crossbowmen with mixed tugs of 1/2 spearmen, 1/2 crossbowmen (from 1191 CE)
"if mixed TuG's of Spearmen and Crossbowmen are taken, the minimum and maximum number of spearmen is reduced by half the number of bases in the mixed tugs"
Does that mean that the total number of spearmen are reduced or that the number of spearmen in the mixed tug can not be duplicated with the total number of spearmen available remaining at 32?
OR does that reduce the number of crossbowmen and or does that mean that an independent unit of all spearmen no longer have Shieldwall???
Please be specific and thanks.

Best answered will an example I think.
Let us say you choose to take 12 Crossbowmen and replace them with the mixed TUGs - so you have 6 bases of the SSp, XBow, SC and 6 bases of the Xbow. The minimum required bases of Spearmen is now reduced by 6 bases (half the 12 bases in the mixed TUGs) and so is now 6 instead of 12 and likewise the maximum number of Spearmen bases you can take is reduced from 32 to 26.
