Title: Pyrrhic allies with Syracusan army
Post by: Jack M Startin on June 03, 2010, 04:54:32 PM
Hi,
Been looking at the Syracusan army list & like the novelty of having Pyrrhic allies with Pyrrhos as the C-in-C [as stated in the notes].

However it raises a few questions:

1) With Pyrrhos as C-in-C is he [& his command] still an ally & thus possibly being unreliable?

2) Does he use a separate die [as an ally would]?

3) Is his command [taken from the Pyrrhic list of course] able to take troops listed as 'in Italy'?  [I'm thinking, yes, as I think that's where he was when asked by the Syracusans to help them].

4)  With Pyrrhos as C-in-C can the rest of the army use the TFs from his list [as it says 0-2 per general, & the Syracusan generals are sub-generals to him].

Cheers.

no as they are not compulsory
