“Or” in Army Lists

The Nubians can have 6-16 “Archers or Skirmishers”. Can you select a mix of these two types, or must it be all archers or all skirmishers?

Mix. If it was all archers or all skirmishers it would say archers [all] or skirmishers [all]. See the second-last line of the Later Tang and Southern Five Dynasties army list for an example.

This sort of all-one or all-the-other list is fairly rare. Took me some time to find an example. Might only be ten or twenty army lists that use this mechanism.
