Gary, do you want all our force compositions??

This will be entertaining

I know I'm going to regret this . . . . . "Yes please"

[Jamanicus]

So far, for Early Imperial Romans, I currently have:

6 x units of Heavy Infantry (Legionaries, Veterans and Praetorians) (2 more Praetorians on the painting table)
4 units of Medium Infantry (Auxiliaries)
2 units of Auxiliary Archers
2 small units of Skirmish Archers
2 small units of Skirmish Slingers
3 units of Medium Auxiliary Cavalry
2 small units of Cataphract Cavalry
2 elephants with Cataphract riders
4 Light Artillery- Scorpion Bolters
1 Medium Artillery- Ballista
1 Heavy Artillery - Catapult

I can field a contingent of 60 Dacians, as Allies if needed (although they do need painting up )

[Jamanicus]

Basically, 3 Infantry Divisions, 2 Cavalry Divisions and Artillery

We're gonna need a bigger table . . . . .

How big are your units Jamie?

[Jeremy]

I'll get force lists to you to tomorrow evening Gary

We're gonna need a bigger table . . . . .

How big are your units Jamie?

Mine are all standard size for HC, so Legionary units are 20 man and the Auxiliaries are 16 man...with the movement trays, they're 210mm and 170mm widths respectively

[Jamanicus]

Cavalry are 12

Can you remind what the standard unit frontage is so i can work out how to divide my forces ?

I think i also mentioned about 373 posts ago(!) that my hoplites are based 2 deep not 3 deep - so we'll just have to remember how awesome they are

[Jeremy]

Didn’t Jamie send you the rules?

[goat major]

yes. am i meant to be reading them rather than just asking other people to do the work ?
