[@seriousarmour] I suggest you focus on the core infantry then with the phalanx, and maybe make some more types of these infantry divisions instead of dipping your fingers into every jar.

Seeing that the RP is about teamwork between the allied troops to defend agains the Empire, I suggest we use our time till Friday/Saturday to come up with a plan regarding the unit composition.

I was thinking about making a heavely support and artillery orionted division, something where 200 out of the 500 men are tasked with operating the siege machines that I would be bringing. And the rest would be archers to support everyone from the bac and keep the machines safe. I think I can easely cover this subject as I a far more experienced with siege machines than sword fighting. 

And just as an observation, the small size of our groups mostly mean that they are probably all focused on certain things instead of branching out. 500 people focusing on infantry, archery, cavalry and siege will be heavely divided and hard to manage in a battle, plus their troops will be divided between many captains. A troop with around 80% type of a single type could be more easely controlled and perhaps lead by their own commander without being split up.
