Note: This list may be contentious as some umpires/list-checkers would rules that the LH(F) are only available if you take an internal roman ally-general (see DBM list notes).
Gregg Mann notes:
Having just used this army for the first time at the Doubles in Helsinki I will offer the following sage advice:
1) Keep the CinC as Cv so he can run away more quickly.
2) Take some artillery for the disryuption iot casues opponents
3) One or 2 pieces of TF that are not used for the baggage are immensely handy for weither misleading you opponent at deployment or slowing them in the open somewhere.
4) Take the elephant.
5) Take a block of Cv to use as a mobile reserve or to threaten flanks.
6) Have the Ax in two commands. You can still combine them to dominate the key terrain feature, but it also allows you to more easily contest multiple pieces.
7) Don't bother with the Bw as they will slow the legionaries down.
Tero Särkijärvi:
This is the list we used with Greg at the new years doubles in Helsinki. I'm not totally convinced that the Cv (point 5, above) are very useful since they cost a lot of AP. Note that the list is 500 AP.
