its his blindspot...
No problem, I have his 6 covered ;)
That makes three people requesting Persians, and 2 Celtiberians. The non Latin Italians sounds good as well.
Use Sassinids. no chance, would the people requsting Bears, use Paddington tooled up with a Ak47, think not. :P
But - my 28(well 25) EAP Sparabatha are Sassanian levy, and I have used thge rteverse in this scale, bulking out my few clibs with the early Persians.
The Sassanid Lights can be used for EAP as they wore tunics over armour, and figure has both bow and javilns. Think latterally sometimes, afterall I used Mongols as Mughul cav in a napolionic game, and in 10mm am using Madish Camels for ancient arabs, whilst the arab inf boosts my turks at times.

no other 10mm manufacturer makes a specific thracian infantry figure in all its forms and concidering thracians were used as mercenarys in many ancient armies (lists). this makes a lot of commercial sense and i for one buy into ranges, when manufacturers produce or prove willing to produce complete ranges. take your recent S.C.W. range , whow if only we could see that sort of commitment in your ancient ranges. Thanks for great figures.

Well said, Bertie. I'm sick of seeing figures five hundred years out of date/premature in table top armies.
