Re: Tniva

I would make them Greuthingi. They were fighting alongside the Scythians and probably had some good cavalry.

Re: Tongans

Wouldn't the majority of the forces consist of lower status individuals without much weapons training? I would expect some Rabble.

Re: Bow-Supported Pike Stands

Bow-supported infantry could me two things. They could in the rear of the formation, firing in arc over their comrades into the enemy. They could be in the front of the formation, shooting at the enemy and then retreating into gaps when the enemy is in contact. There is no mention in the Illiad of m...
