I'm not an expert, but I believe cohorts were around squad sized units that helped organize centuries (sp?) into even smaller units. TSA has some Roman fans, but I can't find their explanation atm...
Perhaps TL or TC could give us the definition they use?

Each Legion contained six to ten Cohorts, composed of five to eight centuries each led by a centurion.
The first cohort in a legion was made up of Centuries of 160 crack soldiers.
While the other 5-9 cohorts were made up of centuries of 80 soldiers
The senior centurion of the legion was called the primus pilus.
Couldn't resist

Hmm, makes me wonder if the legion is going to have 6-10 trainer alliances; given the strength of the one cohort already, that would be something
Good luck guys.
