To the Strongest! Army Lists v1.33 These army lists have been written fo r use with the To the Strongest! wargames rules. The lists here are what I call "basic" lists to get players going. The use of the lists is explained more fully in the rules. The lists are designed to produce armies in the 100-160 point range. All of the army lists will eventually include a small number of units drawn from the allies of the nation or kingdom in the list. If a larger allied contingent is desired, then the best way to tackle this is to build a separate contingent from the appropriate army list of the allies. In this case the player will, in effect, each build their own slightly smaller army, and the total agreed points value should be adjusted up to around 200 points (or perhaps a little more). A template has been provided to help you design a list of your own. If you do make a list up, or have comments on any of the lists I have provided, please mail me as simonmiller60@gmail .com. I'd be very happy to answer any questions and may be able to add your list to this sheet for others to use. These lists are free and can be downloaded from BigRedBat's shop, which can be found at www.bigredbatshop.co.uk, where the rules are also sold. To see how I intend the lists to look like eventually, see the Late Roman list in the shop. © Simon Miller, 2014 Changes in version 1.31 - added Rise of Macedon list and started to add a list of potential allies to individual lists, edited Successors list. Changes in version 1.32 - added Early and Middle Ptolemaic lists.

It seems likely that the Ptolemies would at least have reduced the size of the phalanx after the Roman defeat of the Seleucids at Magnesia in 190BC reduced the credibility of the tactic.
