Is there really no online discussion about these rules? Not even by the designer?
It's hard to say what a typical army would be, as really each force is 3 mini-armies, forming the left, centre and right, and these each have their part in the battle plan, so are generally tailored towards their mission. It might be that (for the barbarians) you want to attack on the left, and have the main combat units here, maybe mounted nobles leading warriors with supporting chariots... or you are happy to just harass on the other flank with skirmishing missile troops and a few chariots, etc. There is wide variety of options.But, here is a Roman force I used in one play test game, a large field battle (so as big as it gets).Roman LegionCentreCommand stand (mounted)2 Units of Auxiliary Spearmen (4 stands each)2 Units of Auxiliary Slingers (skirmishers) (3 stands each)3 Scorpios (1 per stand)1 Legionary Cohort (4 stands)Left FlankCommand stand (on foot)2 Legionary Cohorts (4 stands each)1 Unit of Auxiliary Cavalry (4 stands)Right Flank Command stand (on foot)3 Legionary Cohorts (1 had the Aquila Party upgrade) (4 stands each)So, that's 48 stands, with 3-4 models per stand. Hope that helps. Barbarians forces are larger... I'd add at least 50%. Small field battles are half the size of large ones.
Which, of course, I read.
Is that it?

It is interesting how many rulesets must be published and slip under the radar?
Which begs the question, what makes some rulesets become popular? What makes some rulesets drop under the radar?
Who publishes it.......IDK
