Note: Troops marked * are only required if any troops of that nationality are used. Lydians may only be used if Anatolians are fielded as well. In general, armies should all use either the earlier LTS or later JLS for Trojan and Dardanian troops, however an early army may have up to 16 JLS armed Trojan spearmen.
The highly dubious cavalry are included because, being mentioned in the WRG Mycenaean List, some manufacturers make very nice suitable figures. Also following WRG, the 4 horse chariot for generals is allowed because in The Iliad at one point, Hector calls to his four horses by name.
