Late Roman army, eastern theater

A)

C1- CiC RCvO, 4 RKnX, 4 RPsS, 4 RAxS, 2 RBdX - 24ME

C2- SG RBdO, 11 RBdO, 6 RPsO, 1 RArtF, 1 RLhF - 24ME

C3- SG RCvO, 6 RAxS, 6 RPsO, 4 RCvO, 3 RLhO - 24ME

C4- 6 RBgO, 7 camp TF - 12ME

This army can face every kind of opponent, for it has every tool needed. It can force a result using heavy infantry, can attack through bad going, it has decent shock power versus CvS. The ArtF should keep honest enemy elephants.

A lot of care should be taken to pick terrains. The army is not so large, so it will need something to cover flanks, anchor and as infiltration area for its good terrain troops. The baggage has been fortified to avoid diverting pips or troops to cover it if some Lh outflank a wing.
