Infamy, infamy

[levied troop]

Roman civil war is definitely on - I've always had a hankering for the year of four emperors. Indeed that might be a suitable Ayton campaign game

Sounds good LT.

Freya is due home in a couple of weeks so I'm expecting to get plenty of painting time with a new baby in the house and I'll be going back to work (from home) so it should work out well..

A career in comedy awaits you.

Or tragedy.

Hmmm...you may have hit on something interesting there....the possibility of using Judean and Syrian legions lends itself to plenty of "Life of Brian" type silliness

Sadly as much as I like Infamy! I can’t see it working for much bigger than 3v3. That’s stretching it. It’s really comfortable at 2v2

A series of narratively linked games could work quite well then, just no massive game. Maybe a one day thing?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. That would work very well

That’s what I was thinking of, maybe like a DBA 6-City campaign with a series of 1:1 battles aimed at taking, and holding, Rome? It might require a ‘barbarian’ counter game for losers in the Game of Imperial Thrones to arrive at a Barbarian Chief of Chiefs.

Bit in theory, 3:3 or bigger should be feasible, I need to get more familiarity with the rules to see how that would work though.

True dat, the lists are never compulsory and certainly not for this period.

I’ve been sorting out my Foundry Germans - 13 bases of warriors, 4 bases of cavalry, 1 base of skirmishers, enough Leaders (but I’ll always add a few more if I find some good figures), enough Shock markers and plenty of Wailing Women. All painted and good to go. What I do need to find is a German wagon and a musician.

The Romans have enough Legionaries to provide opposition + a Mule Train, musicians, valiant vexillariusess and at least 4 Emperors. What I do need are a Medic, an Engineers group and Shock markers. Some nice Deployment Markers would be........nice.

And what I really need is a wargames show to go to so I can browse the trade stands

I discovered that 1st Corps do a range of 'ancient' wagons - so that might be the place to go.
