Thanks for answer. But I think you did not understood me.

My question is why helmet and leather armor have different cost for Germania Warriors, they give same stats.

Just from purely wargaming point of view. Why pay 5 denarii for Leather armor, when I can pay 2 for same bonus? And we are talking about one unit, not different units.

You can’t throw short spears in SPQR.

Short spear doesn’t have any advantages or disadvantages. No special rules.

With sword you have ability to Parry.

Long Spears are different. You have range advantage with them.

My problem is there are units that are equipped with Short spears and you can buy them swords, what means upgrading them.

But buying short spears for unit that already have swords, looks like wasting points.

For me personally this is not a problem. For me SPQR is easy game where I can roll some dice with wife in interesting period.

EDIT: For me this is more wargame adaptation of Asterix&Obelix, with some movies like 300 added. Than historically accurate game.

No, what I mean, why would you pay 2 denari in wargame to get inferior weapon to one you have? And can you throw spear? Not only javelins? Need to check this out.

There is difference between historical accuracy and wargame rules. I’m asking if there is some good reason to buy those spears for unit already equipped in swords. I didn’t found any, maybe I missed something.
