organization of army
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/davmonac/sanniti/smlegio.html
i've found also a brief definitions of the organization of the etrurian army:
Gli eserciti comprendono nobili su carri (LCh) presto abbandonati per i cavalli (Cv) ma che combattono più spesso smontati (Bd), un nucleo di opliti alla greca con compiti di riserva scelta (Sp), guerrieri armati in base al censo (Sp, Ps). Sono inoltre presenti gruppi di devoti (guerrieri votati religiosamente alla morte), bande armate etrusche indipendenti, mercenari o alleati Italici, Celti ed haruspices, sacerdoti divinatori (Fw).
Le armi sono in ferro e comprendono lance, spade dritte e curve, kopis, asce, bipenni per i comandanti, giavellotti e pochi archi e fionde. L'armamento protettivo comprende corazze metalliche a torace, corazze in tela di lino, elmi crestati, cassidi (elmi disadorni delle truppe leggere), pettorali di metallo, schinieri, scudi circolari di tipo greco di legno, vimini o cuoio rinforzati con placche metalliche. Meno diffusi sono gli scudi ovali di tipo celtico, le cotte di maglia ed i corsetti in cuoio.
means:
armies was formed by Nobles on Chariots, soon abandoned for horses, but often they fight by feet; a group of élite hoplites like the greek ones, with task of skilled reserve, warriors equipped by social classes. It was also present sacred bands (warriors religiously voted to death), independent warriors bands, mercenaries and italic allies, celts and Haruspices, forecaster sacerdotes. (In fact Etrurians never fight if holy responses of divinations by liver or by birds were negatives)
weapons was in iron, comprehensive of spears, curved and right swords, kopis, axes, double-axes (in RTW are the symbol for germani, you know) for officers, javelins, and few bows and slingers. protective weaponry was torax metal curasses, linum cuirasses, crest helmets, cassides (helmets without decorations, just for light troops), metal breasts, leg plates, round wooden shields like greeks ones, chainmails and leather corsets.

I thought I should bring this up again, that we can always use modding helpers, to help us bring the mod out sooner. If you have substantial modding skills, passionate about our our time period, please let us know.
Wow,
the visual elemant of this mod has really developed from those early screenies all those months ago. Looking very promising.
Hmmmm....If you need a few skins doing maybe I could help. I've got commitments to a few other mods but between time I have the odd spare hour or two.
Yep thanks Kali, I'll keep in touch
