Thematic and Tagmatic Byzantine Cavalry

[Robin]

Why in the lists are Thematic Cavalry Drilled loose and the Tagmatic Formed loose ?
I thought Tagmatic were the regular paid troops and Thematic the Teratorials so to speak ?

Probably me getting it wrong as per

[nikgaukroger]

Versions I have have the Tagmata as Drilled and the Themata as formed for the two Thematic lists and the Nikeforian.

Later Nikeforian has them the other way around though so I guess that is the list you mean - suspect something wrong there that we missed.

Yep late Nikephorian. Ok can it be fixed ?
If it cant can we not simply swap Drilled to loose and visa versa.

This is definitely in error.
The cavalry should be as per the Nikephorian.
So the Tagmata cavalry should be Cavalry, Drilled Loose, Superior, Protected, Charging Lancer, Charge Only Bow.
The Thematic cavalry should be Cavalry, Formed Loose, Average, Protected, Charging Lancer, Charge Only Bow.

Not quite sure how this error occurred.  Will update the errata.
