... OK, a couple of us have already discussed doing this in 6mm before we knew what the battle was. Now we know I think 6mm would be an even better choice....
I'm up for it, I already have some Gauls and a few romans but obviously nowhere near enough. I would be very keen to build up a good force for both sides...
... I suppose the ideal would be for each person contributing to supply some Romans and some Celts. That way when it is all over we have matched armies to use...
... yes but at 1:20 60,000 celts = 3,000 figures = 60 packs of H&R equivilent = £120 which isn't that expensive currently I have about 500+ painted figures...
Hi Some off the cuff numbers: Romans Average field strength for a Legion - 4000ish. 4 bases to a Legion. 32 Legionaire bases total. Add some Gallic cavalry...
Hi A thought on set up for the battle. All Roman units could start off Shaken, Disordered and with only some of their Strength points (say 2d6 worth). Shaken...
... not sure we would have to do much scaling down, depend how much table we have to cover. If we were to scale things down I would suggest 3/4 as the maximum...

Ok guys the choice fo battle will require us to look at a cople of rules issues. the first is how to model the initial disorder of the Romans which I will leve...
... I posted a suggestion earlier. ... I only count the bonus for the best commander that is in range - do you count them all? That would cause a problem if...
... I saw it I am not sure the reduced strength is required and would complicate the playing of the game. I think just delaying the activation of the bases, ...

Hey all, On Thursday we had a game of Alexandran Macadamians vs. Assyrians. The Assyrians moved to the village on the hill in the center of the table and were...

Jason Sounds like a good battle! The result will go up on the site when I have a spare moment. Most of the answers to your questions seem to be within the...
The Sambre, eh? Lots of Romans and Nervii? Hmmm...okay: 1) I'd prefer to do this in 15mm than 6mm. I know it is more of a pain, and more difficult to source...

Hello all. Sounds exciting, I don`t mind wether it`s going to be 15mm or 6mm, I would like to help out figure wise whatever is decided. If it`s 15mm, I will...

Chris I don't disagree with any of the points you make, I just prefer the look and feel of 15mm figures for something like this. It's all down to contrast in...
Hi All this talk of 6mm got me thinking about what I view as the definitive look for VB: 10mm. It works especially well for elephants and chariots which only...
