The Hittite Anatolian Ally contingent contains mandatory troops. There is none of the usual language that says these minima only apply if any Anatolian are used. Is the Anatolian contingent mandatory, then?

I believe so. It can be commanded by a Hittite subbie though.

OK, I'll have to adjust my list. Odd that required troops that can be commanded by a subbie would not be in the 'main list', but that doesn't make you wrong. Thanks, Mr. Gaukroger.

If they were in the main list we'd be saying it was odd that troops that can be commanded by an ally as a separate contingent were in the main list
