    The stats for Greek Hoplite mercenaries seem a bit, well, “lite”. Any ideas on this?

    Later Greek Hoplite mercenaries fought without armor. Like the famous 10.000 of Anabasis.
    Just Hoplon and Helmet

    Yes, that’s fine.
    But in the book they have the linothorax but armour +0.
    And compare it to the stats for similarly equipped Athenian hoplites. For seven fewer denarii, but no linothorax, you get +2 melee, 2 melee dice and +2 bravery.
    All right, mercenaries don’t come cheap,but Thracian Warriors,for eight denarii compared to nineteen, look a much more appealing purchase.
    Sorry, but something does not seem right.

    Just looks like a typo to me like the Roman Auxilia cavalry, and companion cavalry.

    Never seen a wargame without a few.

    Was a typo. Problem solved on the FAQ sheet.
