Summon Myrmidon as "any legal combination..."

It isn't really a change. This from the original Wizard microgame from 1978:

MYRMIDONS: If you have the MELEE rules, disregard the statement
that a Myrmidon has ST 12, DX 12, and a broadsword. A Myrmidon may
have any ST, DX, and IQ totaling to 32, and may be equipped with any
weapons, armor, and shield, just like a beginning figure in MELEE.

However, back in the day, we never let summoned Myrmidons have advanced talents like Missile Weapons.
