Cohesion 6 Phalangite - point costs

Postby Bob Stradling » Sat Dec 29, 2018 8:34 pm

Because it is the Christmas break and I am trying to prepare my army list for Swindon, I have been looking at all the armies with pike armed units. It has thrown up a couple of queries the first one covers the basic phalangite unit costing.

A basic D6 C6 phalangite costs 18 points in Macedonian Successor, Eumenid, Antigonid, Selucid, and Later Macedonian. (Pyrrhic - Epirotes have D5 C6 and cost 20 points as they have compulsory LA upgrade.)

Whilst Ptolemaic and Pergamene are only 16points, the Pergamene is listed as both Levy and Trained Phalanx which seems a bit odd. Are these two correctly costed?

Pontic Levy Phalanx have C5 are Levy and are only a phalanx at 12 points.

Some of these have the ability to add light armour others do not. I presume this reflects the availability of armour to those particular armies.

The Egyptian Phalangites should be 18 points. All the others are correctly pointed.
