I'm interested in how those of you who play Lost Battles (or Strategos) represent the different troop grades. Phil Sabin seems to doubble the number of figures (Veteran to Average; Average to Levy) do you do the same, or something different? |

It depends, when I have the figures I follow Phil lead. Otherwise Uhm I just use different figures type (guard phalanxes for veteran, regular armored for average unarmored for levy). |

I made a VASSAL module (located in the files section of the LB Yahoo group). I represent everything by single units of the same "size". I change the labels to suit the scenario being played. I have only played LB via VASSAL. |

When playing with figures I/we usually use 2DBx stands for veterans, 4 for average troops and 6 or 8 for levy (depending on the battle and figs available). If playing solo I tend to use a 1/2/4 bases for cav. Can vouch for John's VASSAL module – it's very handy. Have to get another game on the go John! Cheers,
