A few question about Late Romans.

Postby ilvulcaniano » Mon Dec 10, 2018 6:24 pm

Hello everyone,
I've recently bought some (well, many), Gripping Beast's plastic Romans and I have a few questions before playing the first game.
Is it right that only Legionaries and Auxilia can use the Combined Formation rule to deploy archers in their ranks and that the Limitanei cannot?
Is it true that the cost for a mixed base of legionaries (2 spearmen and 2 archers) is 22 points and that the cost for an archer-only base is 22-4=18?
And a last one... if I choose to field a unit of Auxilia as skirmishers can I still use the Combined Formation rule and buy, for example, 3 bases of spearmen and 3 bases of archers?

Thank to everyone who'll read it and to those who'll answer me.

Greetings from Italy,

Alex

Yes that is correct the Limitanei cannnot use combined formation.

Yes those points are correct.

You can't use the combined formation rule for skirmishers, however the archers can also be fielded as skirmishers.
