Here are my initial musings. Not sure when I'll get these on the table but Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Playing.
Heroic, heavier chariots have Dendle armoured hero often using long spear.
Lighter chariots are "hop on, hop off" battle taxis.
All chariots and pike (may/should) have attached skirmishers, javelins and archers respectively.
I've added javelin to the elite that's not by the book. You could use veteran HI with javelin. Or drop javelin and 1p.
Poor city mixed LI represent the small city who fields everything in one unit.
If you class a unit as spear or pike depends on you.
A tower shield and 2 handed use represent pikes in my opinion.
Some 24p forces:
Trojan force with Amazon allies. Dismounted Heroes 10p. Amazon cav x2 10p.
Skirmishers x2 4p
Or: HI javelin 5p. LI javelin x2 8p. New levy 1p. Amazon cav x2 10p.
Achaean line. Dismounted Heroes 10p. HI pike 5p. LI pike 4p. New levy 1p.
Skirmishers x2 4p
Achilles, sacker of cities. Dismounted Heroes 10p. Myrmidons 7p LI city spear 3p Skirmishers x2 4p
Invaded locals. Poor city LI x2 10p. City spear 3p. New levy 1p.
Slingers x2 6p. Skirmishers x2 4p
Warlord's force. Heroic chariots 6p. HI pike 5p. LI pike x2 8p. New levy 1p.
Skirmishers x2 4p
Later Warlord. Light chariots x2 8p. HI javelin 5p. LI spear 3p. LI javelin x2 8p
Sea Peoples colonists. Heavy ox chariots x2 8p. Nobles 6p. Warriors x2 8p
Sea Peoples raiders. Nobles 6p. Warriors x3 12p. Light ox chariots or Skirmishers x3 6p
