As I demonstrated in the previous entry, the main legiones (LEG) under the command of a notable and the vexillationes (Vex) all have a composition that we needed to discover via the generator and as it follows I pass to list the forces organisations for both factions with corresponding types.
For reference of entries.

It is of note that the Legions are the primary battle units. Each vexillatio ( detachment of a legion ) on its own will engage in battle if attacked but will not be the attacker always seeking to join a legion and iIf attacked it will be commanded by a 0-0-1 commander.
Further campaign rules concern the supplying of the forces but I shall post about that in another entry.
The next posts will be about the campaign time and what events are occurring already and what movements have been plotted and what were the results.
