TOPIC: Latin and/or Alae Peltasts for Punic Wars |
Standard User Posts: 66 frederick_the_green 12th Dec 2018 01:21:23 Does anyone know what I should use for Latin and/or Alae Peltasts in the Punic Wars? AGR09 - Greek Peltasts? (are the shields correct?) or is it more Spanish Caetratii (ASP02) or Celtic Javelinmen (ACE03) I should use? Thanks in advance!

Standard User Posts: 208 Nick the Lemming 12th Dec 2018 02:04:24 I'm goign to use ACE03 Celtic Javelinmen for Ligurians, and AGR09 for Alae Peltasts myself. |
thanks for that info, will bear it in mind as I continue to build my AoH armies. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 208 Nick the Lemming 12th Dec 2018 02:51:18 The one I was wondering about was Libyan spearmen (the ones with the kind of braided Mohawks). I'm probably going to go with straight ACA02 African Infantry, though they're a bit more formed and armoured than I'd like.
For DP and anyone else who's interested, these are the troops and ranges I'm probably using for AoH Trebia:
Balearic Slingers ASP03 Bal. Sling Numidian Javelins AMO01 Moorish Spear Ligurian Inf ACE03 Celt Javelin Celt Infantry ACE07 Celts Charging Spanish Scutari ASP01 Sp Scut African veterans ACA05 African Vets Numidian Horse AMO03 Moorish Cav Celt horse ACE09 Celt L Cav Punic horse ACA03 Libyan Cav African elephants ACA04 Carth Ellies Libyan Inf ACA02 African Inf
Velites ARR03 Velites Hastati ARR07 Hastati with gladius Principes ARR01 Hastati with pilum Triarii ARR02 Triarii Equites ARR05 Roman Cav Alae Peltasts AGR09 Peltasts Alae Archers AGR04 Psiloi Bow Alae Light Inf AIT01 Samnites Alae Spears AIT02 Italian Hops Latin Cav AIT03 Italian Cav Gallic Inf ACE01 Celts stood Gallic horse ACE02 Celt H Cav

Standard User Posts: 208 Nick the Lemming 12th Dec 2018 03:20:28 lol, excellent! I don;t have the Alps supplement (yet), so I don't know what other troops are needed there. Are there any other types other than the ones I listed above? |
Standard User Posts: 66 frederick_the_green 13th Dec 2018 07:30:54 Without violating LWTV's copyright on AoH, these are the types mentioned for Cannae Roman Latin Peltasts - AGR09? Oscan Light Inf - AIT01 Latin Spears - AIT02 Campanian Alae - AIT01
Carthiginian Cretan Archers - AGR04 Gallic Warriors - ACE07 Gallic Horse - ACE02 Iberian Horse - ASP05

Standard User Posts: 208 Nick the Lemming 13th Dec 2018 12:18:52 They all sound like good proxies to me. Are the Campanians light troops? If not, I'd go with AIT02 for them too, I think. |
Standard User Posts: 208 Nick the Lemming 13th Dec 2018 02:19:32 ...and that's my order placed for everything I'll need for Trebia. :D
It only took a little persuading my wife that a load of Punic Wars figures was what I wanted for christmas too.
I guess next year I'l have to work on what other figures I'll need for the other scenarios. :) |
Standard User Posts: 66 frederick_the_green 14th Dec 2018 07:40:39 The Campanian Alae are classed as Hand Weapon in AoH, hence choosing AIT01, but close formed (18 models per base in 3 ranks of 6) They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance |
