On the list 50 – Carthaginian.
If I want to have on my list upgraded African spearmen (Heavy Spearman Armour Elite) do I need to have a strategist general on my list? |

Are you sure?
List 55 says that from: 211-202BC we can have a Strategist if it is Hannibal
To have Heavy Spearman Armou elite I must use one of this 2 options:
Hannibal in Italy from 216BC to 203BC
Hannibal in Affrica in 202 BC
So for both of the cases if I use Hannibal it needs to be strategist because I'm between 211 and 202BC, right?
I also think the same specially because pag 78 says on the 1st paragraph that the different valid option are corresponds to time periods and/or geographic areas, not mandatory generals. So I can use that period, but decide that Hannibal won't be part of the army.
Really like to be sure on this, sorry to insist... |

As a list checker I'd be inclined to say you do need to take the named general in order to use options which are specific to that named general. It just feels the 'right' thing to do, underlining the historical side of the game as well.
But that's just me - there may well be a precedent that the French community have discussed and decided on before its cropped up in English. _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

Were I list checking (absent a clear ruling) I would likely rule that very specific things, like Hannibal in Italy, would require you to take Hannibal the Strategist in Italy. |

Just as devils advocate - List 83 Spartacus has a note stating the army must be commanded by Spartacus (a strategist). That could imply other armies don't have to be commanded by a name general unless specifically stated. For example a Carthaginian army in Italy could be commanded by one of Hannibals subordinates. In fact what about representing Hasdrubals army in Italy? |

It needs a French person to tell us what’s the accepted interpretation.  Both versions are equally arguable in English _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

As a French person, may I help?
the only Strategist you must pick in an army is Spartacus.
The others can, but it's not mandatory, be choosen, when you take their specials units. Hannibal, or Pyrrhus are not neccerilary present, even if you choose the troops listed in "Hannibal in North Africa" or "Pyrrhus in Italy". Maybe they're taking a nap, or fighting in another place. _________________ Audentes fortuna iuvat. |

Thank you all for your answers,
I think it’s clear that both ways can be interpreted so, does this seal saying that Hannibal is not mandatory or it's better to ask on the French rule thread (looking for what Hervé has in mind)? |

Unless where it is clearly specified by the list (like 83 Spartacus), to choose a strategist general is always optional and never compulsory.
