Infantry Tents

Organising levies requires planning and space.

Mustering a force required careful planning. Levies were often expected to provide their own arms, such as spear and shield, or javelins and even bows. If this was not done, they would have to be outfitted at the expense of the state treasury. This took time, and the easiest way to get everyone organised and equipped was in temporary camps. Dependent on circumstances and population, permanent quarters or barracks for levies would be built. Barrack-based troops could be used to supplement town watches or to patrol borders and guard trade routes. Even so, conscript levies were usually poorly trained, and more lightly equipped than noble, professional or mercenary soldiers.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_archer_spearmen) Gunud Shbeta (Light Archer Spearmen) These lightly armoured Arabian archers are versatile troops. Equipped with bows and spears, these men are able to provide an army with ranged support while also acting as light spearmen. However, the versatility of these troops is their main advantage, and they should not be expected to hold out for long in melee against disciplined opponents.

2	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_Levy_Skirm) Istratutiya (Arabian Light Infantry) These lightly armed men are not much to look at, clad in simple attire and armed with the most rudimentary spears and shields, but they are far more capable soldiers than they seem at first glance. Years of both tribal skirmishing and warfare on behalf of their Sabaean rulers has made them into warriors of surprising merit and skill.

3	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_Noble_Sword) Haghar Hayar (Sabaean Nobles) Hailing mainly from the splendid city of Maryab, these nobles would rather avoid combat, yet are well-trained and possess the best armour and weapons available: high-quality longspears, composite bows and strong shields. They are truly an elite force to be reckoned with, able to hold the line even against the heavy infantry of the Hellenes.

4	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ara_red_sea_inf) Gunud haAhrama (Red Sea Light Infantry) When the men of the Red Sea Coast are called to war, they fight in a manner centuries old. Armed with the traditional balta harbiye, a double edged axe, and light wickerwork and leather shields, these men form a light and unruly levy.
4	200	200	872	872								39	11	13	52	8	20	45
5	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_sabean_archers) Hazin Shab (Sabaean Archers) The bow is a cheap yet effective weapon useful for both hunting and war. These men do not have the money to buy expensive equipment, as most of them are farmers from one of many small villages. They may not look like much, but they are valuable when used well on the battlefield.
5	175	175	455	455				10	175	6	15	18	7	6	29	1	20	35
6	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ara_shortsword_warriors) Muqrabin (Arabian Shortswordmen) These hardy men from the desert rush into battle with what they can afford - a sword, helmet, and buckler - and cut down enemy skirmishers or spear-armed infantry. Relying on their speed and buckler to ward off enemy missiles, they are very vulnerable to arrows, and do not stand much of a chance against a cavalry charge, but can effectively deal with infantry of similar quality.
6	300	300	811	811								34	11	11	56	8	20	50
7	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ara_thureos_soldiers) Siyyafunan (Arabian Thureos Soldiers) These thureophoroi are little different from their Hellenic counterparts. Armed with swords, along with the large and robust thureos shield, they have their qualities as a defensive force, keeping a strong front against infantry. The thureophoroi, common in the Hellenistic kingdoms, are well suited to the tactical needs of smaller states, mainly border defence.
