That's a rather impressive output. Very nice.

Ps Blimey! How many chariots are you planning on having?
Current plan is around 15 in each army (not started the Achaeans yet), but it might be more . . . .

They're a bit like Zulus when it comes to quantity, you can't have too many.

Wow. You don't do anything by halves do you. Hail Caesar (last question, promise)?

They're based for Impetus, which is what the guys at my club use, but I'll use them with Hail Caesar too I expect. Also want to find a heroic skirmish set because I'm basing the 'heroes' on individual command bases. Quite like the idea of chariot duels and individual combat between Homeric champions

I read that last line as homoerotic champions. Probably still works

They look wonderfully impressive and full marks for the dismounted Hero option - definitely needed.

Ta. I look forward to trying Impetus.

£10 says he hates them, and recommends Wank and Smile instead.

Well, that's not inconceivable.......but I have heard very good things about both Impetus and Hail Caesar. I really fancy a very old school set of rules with buckets of dice.
