Hi. In the army list, where a troop type such as Roman legionaries has an option for support +1 point, do you have to buy a unit of Light Infantry to give that support and pay the 1 point, or do you basically get an extra base to add to the rear of the unit for that point? |

The 1 point gets you the LI base to the rear which provides support. |

the base is just a marker to indicate that the unit has support, so no, you don't have to buy a unit of LI for this. LI are units themselves, the support is just an ability of units that have it, usually indicated by a similar kind of base as LI have. |

Do not forget that the support is not valid against any heavy armored opponent. _________________ "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"

Thanks for the clarification. What type of marker is used, typically, to represent this type of support? Would some Roman archers on a light infantry base suffice, or would it just confuse? |

Yes, a Li in the Hi's back is correct.
I think there's a Hi +support shown in the rulebook's first pages (picture of all types of units). |
