[1] Roman cavalry can dismount as Reg Sw F, (Pro), H, Shk/Msl [Jav] of similar class, grade etc.
[2] Dismount as lance-armed Equites (see below).
[3] Dismount as Reg Plt, (Pro), H, Shk/Msl [Bow] of similar class, grade etc.
[4] Mounted units fought in units of 2 to 4 elements.
[5] Lance-armed Equites can dismount as Reg Sp F, (Pro), H, Shk of similar class, grade etc.
[6] Total western mounted Regulars may not exceed 12 elements after 425.
[7] Professional Legionnaire cohorts may remove their unformed marker at the beginning of a round, by expending 2 CoPs, even when in contact with an enemy, only if their numbers are intact (i.e. have not lost any element). This is an optional advantage and costs an additional point per element.
[8] Total number of
Legiones Palatinae and Comitatenses may not exceed 12. After 425 (Patrician),
the total number of both Legiones and Auxilia may not exceed 6 units of each
and only two Legiones and two Auxilia may be Ordinary, the remainder
must be fielded as Inferior.
[9] Late Roman Legiones in HOPLON are organized into four-element units. Legionnaire elements should have one or two archers amongst the swordsmen. Alternatively, consider them as having a bow as a secondary missile weapon. The element is considered a mixed one for missile defence purposes having a –1 penalty per target.
[10] Late Roman Auxilia in HOPLON are organized into two-element units. Auxiliarii peltast elements should have one or two archers amongst the peltasts. Alternatively, consider them as having a bow as a secondary missile weapon. The element is considered a mixed one for missile defence purposes having a –1 penalty per target.
[11] All Skirmishers may support legionnaires.
[12] Up to 1 Medium per Pro Legion and up to 1 Light per any Legion. War Engines in total may not exceed 4 in the East and 2 in the West, after 425.
