I think they are more correct for generic Greek/Successor archers? I was under the impression 'Cretan' archers would have a dagger/short sword and light circular shield, like the ones described in the Anabasis. |

These figures have an light shield and a dagger/shot sword. However, I do not think that the Cretan archers had a clear uniform. I called them "Crete" because they are so called from the manufacturer. |

Ah yes, I see them now…sorry! I should not look at small pictures late at night! |

No problems. Their truth is difficult to see in this perspective! Thank you for your comment. I'll make photos the figures more carefully. |
