All About Those Hebrews

REBASING my open-order Hebrews means I now have three units of javelinmen and three of slingers, instead of two of each (as well as six units of auxiliaries and five squadrons of chariots).
Javelinmen
Slingers
An early Hebrew army under Neil Thomas's biblical rules in Ancient & Medieval Wargaming has three-to-six units of auxiliaries, two of which can be elite, one or two units of javelinmen, and one or two units of slingers, so I have more than I need.
Solomon's army draws from the same list, but with the addition of one-to-three squadrons of light chariots, while later Hebrew armies draw from a list used by Canaanites and Philistines.
That list has two-to-four units each of light chariots, biblical infantry (close-order spearmen) and javelinmen, and an optional unit of open-order archers.
