Doubt on pilum
We had a situation in a recent game where a legionary charged into an existing melee.
Can they use the pilum?
We allowed that as pilum is part of melee but not of shooting. But it looked awkward anyway.

Re: Doubt on pilum
Good question. I can't remember seeing this but I think we would do it the way you did because pilum is a melee weapon and not missile fire. The Legion unit would only get to throw a pilum if it became the main unit in the melee. Is that what happened?
