Camillan Roman Leves

I see that the option for separate SUGs of Leves has disappeared from the Camillan Roman list and they are now incorporated into Hastati bases, presumably on a similar basis to the option to incorporate handgunners into the front rank of medieval/Renaissance Swiss and similar pike blocks. An interesting idea, particularly as they have the Shoot and Charge characteristic.

1. The note in respect of Rorarii not exceeding the number of Leves is still at the foot of the list. Is this intentional or should it be removed? If intentional should it read 'Hastati with leves' bases rather than just Leves?

2. The Special Rule note underneath states that Hastati bases should be easily distinguished from Principes and Triarii. Should this be now changed to read 'Hastati and leves' bases? Presumably one way to do so on table would be to put one or two figures of Leves mixed in with the Hastati.

3. The Troop notes section on the previous page mentions that Leves formed a quarter of each legion, perhaps some mention of this new treatment should be made given that there are no longer any separate bases?

1.  The note was removed - I just failed to reprint the list!
2.  I think the intent is clear.  How you distinguish them is up to you.  I will see if I can update.
3.  Thank you for the suggestion.
