Pointy Sticks Ayton Nov ‘21

[FreddBloggs]

Could be worse, he could be waiting for menelaus!

And when did Ayton become sandy?

[goat major]

This all sounds great Gary! Really looking forward to it !

The means of recording casualties - dice behind the unit ? Or pen and paper ?

And some great puns in there !

[Jeremy]

All sounds brilliant! I’ll bring some micro dice for casualties

[garyp]

Micro dice or something similar would work. I'm currently painting up a dozen casualty figures . . . . .

Really looking forward to next weekend!! And finally being allowed out of the house!!!

And, would you believe it...my figures are nearly ready....after having only a single Cavalry unit painted up in April...to the Rise of the Ramonatatti!!!

[Jeremy]

My forces are as follows:
24 Carthaginian African Spearmen
24 Libyan Spearmen
24 Liby Phonecian Spearmen
24 Armoured Gauls
36 Gauls
24 Spanish Scutarii
4 Gallic chariots
2 elephants
12 Gallic light cavalry
12 Gallic heavy cavalry
12 Numidian light cavalry
12 light infantry - javelin and shield
6 slingers

Gary, my revised list. Spanish cavalry and 6 slingers dropped. Never got round to painting them. Gallic light cavalry could easily be upgraded to medium.

Thanks Jeremy.
I think your 36 Gauls should probably be deployed as 2 standard units of 18. That'll give you a Libyan/Carthaginian division (3 units of spears, 2 elephants and a small unit of slingers) and a Gallic division (3 warbands, a unit of chariots and a unit of Gallic Heavy cavalry), in addition to your light vanguard (Scutarii, 2 units of light cavalry, 1 unit of light javelins) - quite a tidy force.

Sounds good. I’ll have to have a unit of 20 and a unit of 16 as they’re based in 4’s. Still normal sized units so it’s fine

That's great. don't forget your light cavalry are small units, so that's 4 units of 6 (2 Gallic, 2 Numidian)
