DBMM 100 Early Imperial Roman list

Needing an opponent for my Brits, I drew up this list for DBMM100:
Troop TypeCost Per Element in APME Per ElementNumber of ElementsTotal Cost of Elements ME
C-in-C - Reg Bd(O) 7 4 1 7 4
Equites cohortales - Reg Cv (O) 81
4 32 4
Auxillia - Reg Ax (S) 51 6 30 6
Legionaries- Reg Bd (O) 61 5 35 5
Totals:
10419
Disheartened: 14          Defeated: 10

I did not take the required 1-6 points of palisade as I think at the 100 point level it's a bit pointless and a vexillation of this size was probably working away from the main camp where all their stakes were. I wanted to take bolt shooters just because I could but practically, 4 Cv is the more logical choice. For anti-warband work, I envisage a line of Ax backed by the Bd with the Cv on a flank. Another option is to have the Bd backed by the Ax with the Cv in the rear - but then I have been reading too much of the interpenetration section recently. If I were to swap 2 Cv for 2 Art, I would put one on each flank of the infantry block to keep the horses and chariots at bay.
