I'd recommend the Penguin modern classics translation of Josephus for readability-plus it is affordable and easy to get hold of.<br>

"other writers who have coverd Roman tactics and formations"- phew! A huge number. De Rebus Bellicis by Anon is a fun companion (bizarre inventions) to Vegetius for late Rome, as is Ammianus. For earlier stuff, try Arrian's Contra Alanos, Frontinus' Strategems, ar any of Caesar.<br>
