CICEROESIA
CICEROESIA
Due to initial similarities and the classical bias of subsequent Italian and then British administrators this force has features of both the manipular and Marian Roman legions. It is essentially a citizen militia force but a very high quality one. Due to the poverty of Ciceroesia it is an essentially a foot based force.
Ulinoan Legion
Velites (skirmishers the poor, clan militia, use 14th and 8th Army WW2 figures (double as KAR troops WW2 games)
2 Cohorts each of 5 Maniples + 1 sniper
1 Maniple = 2 infantry stands
Hastai (young middle class warriors, regulars, SLR Hat or beret,)
2 Cohorts each of 5 Maniples

1 Cohort of 5 Maniples

Mortar Maniple = 2 stands
2 Recoilless Rifle Maniple = 2 stands

Equities (rich cavalry – all professional)

Doctrine is essentially that Velites form the first line of battle testing enemy defences and scouting for ambushes. Hastai the second line and either provide a point for Velites to fall behind to exploit gaps in the enemy line. Principes the third and perform a similar role. Triari are the support units (actually hefting and carrying done by young recruits to the other classes, the old men fire and maintain the weapons,) and Equities perform a traditional cavalry role.
It is rare the full Legion will fight in one battle any Legionary component is usually companied by an allied component from friendly hill tribes of freelance and clan militia On the usually basis of units of 5-8 mainly Infantry with one or two support weapons like HMGS, Recoilless Rifles etc. That is also the normal units of their regular opponents, the hill tribes and armed rebel slaves.
The Legionary Component of any Army will usually be tailored to the opposition i.e. more Triarii if fighting the heavily mechanised Zaitu CIIF more Velites, Hastai, Principes if fighting the hill tribes.
