Strange decision!! Why are you adding armies out of the time frame ? Thought the cut off date was 115BC.Ancient Brits is 60BC !!! Has something changed. Has it increased to any classical list ?

+1, why adding the two lists above and not adding the PONTIC list in this case??

Late Ptolemaic would be good. Incidentally the published dates for this list is wrong

Because Gallic, Germans and britons + scots Irish are really so similar . I was already toying with the idea to add therm to the possible armies but never found time to write it  . In 115 BCE, britons and Scots-irish did already exist but for a reason or another they do not appear in our history books . I am convinced that their fighting style has not been modified by external causes .In 120 BCE they fought as in 70 BCE...

Late Ptolemaic is pretty different. They are an evolution of the Ptolemaic . So they exist in 115 BCE under another form called simply Ptolemaic .

Why not PONTIC : the list is the army of Mithridates VI as he build it to confront Rome and so is IMO a special case . His wars with Rome begin around 100 BCE.

So you have my reasons . No I was not bribed, nor promised anything.

So those 2 armies are out of frame, yes but compare Gallic and British they are near the same .

I just wanted to allow more barbarian armies are so few of them are played and they do feel "in the theme" to me . Does that really bother you ?

Having had a ponder I thought I would try a loose order foot army and see if the new PBS does what I am hoping to give them a chance.  An old favourite.  ANCIENT BRITONS.

Simon, on the screenshot, it shows "Total number of UGs" = 5
but the "Normal deployment batch (1/3 UGs)" = 15
Sholdn't they be the other way round?

This is the draft army builder for 2020.  The bug has been spotted and corrected.

But OK as the people does not wish post 115 BCE barbarians, no Britons, no scotch Irish

It is your tournament. Please do as you wish.

Mines in.
Highland Gallic.
I like a challenge to see if the new PBS tweaks can allow a loose order barbarian army a chance.
