Late Ptolemaic

[shaun]

Couple of questions , 1 what has become of the Alex Mob? . 2 the remnant Romans, up to 16 bases and a general, and no Egyptians?

Not quite sure what you are exactly asking here.

Alex Mob? What does this refer to?

The Romans - are you asking for confirmation that they can only be in a command on their own with no other troops? If so, yes that is correct.

[shaun]

Was the Alexandrian mob not well known to rise at the drop of a hat,  JC needs something to kill to make him look good!. Yes that was my question and thought on Romans

[lionheartrjc]

I think the Alexandrian mob is appropriate to scenario games but I don't see how it fits into the normal Ptolemaic army.

OK can live with that, as you dont have a Hoard/Mob class how would you class then please if required? . Do the Gabini warrant any Gaulic/German support or is the contingent just to small to be useful

[Gower]

Mobs tend to be fairly useless, and not like to be dragged along on campaign with the exception of the peoples crusade. Take a look at the lists to see examples. I would tend to class them along the lines of:

Tribal Loose Unprotected Poor or Average plus any Special Characteristic you feel applies: Combat Shy, Aggressive or Fleet of Foot spring to mind. And in large units 8,9 or 10.
