Can someone tell me the logic behind the Hittite list?
Especially why are the spearman fast pike? (They were Sp in DBA 2.2, i think.)
And isnt the new perspective, that the third man in the pictures of chariots was a runner. So LCh would be better?

Well, the I/24a list is exactly the same except that all the chariots are LCh, so if you are of the school that the "three-man chariot" is not actually a new development representing a heavier chariot, you could just use that list instead. As for the infantry - fast pike seems like rather an odd category to begin with, but I don't think we actually know that much about Hittite infantry tactics. Their behavior as described at Kadesh seems more solid than fast, but maybe Muwatalli just didn't have enough pips to get them into the action.
