True, keeping your reliable Spanish Infantry alive and participating is a very good idea. But don't underestimate a horde of 2-strength Gallic Warriors. I tend to linger and split my two generals into Gaul and Cisalpine Gaul from the start to maximize my Gallic recruiting. It doesn't take long to exhaust recruiting there and, along with playing the Gallic Aid card on the first turn, can create a pretty massive army in just a couple turns. I place my companion cavalary, elephants (if they're still alive - often don't last very long), a couple Spanish Infantry, and an African Infantry soaker into my battle line up and fill the rest out with Gallic warriors. The results are often pretty good. However, I've had some battles where I've had nearly all Gallic Warriors and they just facemelted the enemy... I'm talking such as 16 hits in one battle round. In good numbers, the Gauls have a reliability all their own.
