Taking Stock II

My Hebrew forces
From left-to-right are two units of slingers, six units of auxiliaries, five squadrons of chariots and two units of javelinmen.
Under Neil Thomas's rules in Ancient & Medieval Wargaming, a pre-Solomon Israelite army consists of one-to-two units each of elite auxiliaries (Simeonites and/or Ephraimites), average javelinmen (Gaddites and/or Issacharites) and average slingers (Benjaminites).
In addition the army has two-to-four units of average auxiliaries (other seven tribes).
Solomon's army receives an extra choice in the shape of one-to-three squadrons of chariots.
Post-Solomonic Hebrew armies of both Israel and Judah are considered by Thomas to have "lost their cutting edge," and so use his Canaanite and Philistine list (armies that I have not recruited yet).
