(Still not completed!)
If you find any of the following army compositions not to your liking or you want a larger battle or you want to field a particular army that isn't reflected in any of the pre-prepared armies here, please feel free to amend them. My research is by no means exhaustive.
Items in brackets are optional, depending on your take on history! EG. (Armoured) Hoplites Spearmen, if you feel Greek Hoplites of that period should be classed as Armoured fine, if not don't! Also, the very top row of each army list has a number of blank cells. To save space all of these should read; "bases or actual figures".
