DBA II/18c Kassandros Macedonian Successor

Here's our DBA II/18c Kassandros - Early Macedonian Successor Army.  Not many options just a Spear or Jumbo.  With a few extra elements you can pretty much make up any of the Macedonian Armies.

II/19 Seleucid 320-83BC

The Seleucid Army, founded by Seleucus, after the death of Alexander the Great. Seleucus, became king of the eastern provinces - more or less modern Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, together with parts of Turkey, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan!

Here's our version of the Seleucids, in fact it's all 4 of the Armies listed in the DBA Book. Most of the elements are generic & easy to morph. Plus lots of options & troop types. It seemed a lot easier putting them all into one huge post.
