They also should probably be stronger than ST11, they did train with double weight gladii and scutums.

2) English Longbowmen should be stronger than ST11, at least in the arms. War bows started at 80 lbs and English bows were often much heavier. There are very few people who can pull that kind of weight and it requires extensive training and continuous upkeep.
I was wondering if the Legionnaires were too low on those stats as well. Thanks!

My longbowmen have Arm Strength 2 to go with their bows, I figured that would work for training to shoot their warbows.
