An Italian force for CLASH of Spears

This is a 600 pts pretty standard force from the Italian tribes list.

Civis troops:

large unit of 9 tribesmen ( heavy shield & throwing spears )

two units of 6 samnite warriors each ( partial armor & heavy shields, throwing spears, guerrilla type troops )

Milites:

One unit of 6 campanian hoplites (full armor and heavy shields, long spear, these guys prefer to fight in the open if they can they would rather overlap shields in close order, but they are tough hombres so if they go in open order they can still kick your butt )

Rare:

6 mercenary cretan archers, their fame precedes them

 

The army is lead by a Chieftain ( Lvl 4 ) and a Leader ( Lvl 3 ) , this provides 7 command points. We’ve seen through extensive playtesting that having at roughly 50% more CPs than units is a good reference. It is open for players to try what they want, but that seems to be the optimal choice so far.
