So how are we going to treat Camillan Romans then ? Since scale wise it is the best solution to treat one base as being the 3 rank formation believed to be...
The army list for the Camillan Romans has one base as Velites and one base as hastati/princeps. Expensive points-wise, but works a treat! R ... the ... board ...

Cheers, John. I haven't got much further than last we spoke. Two big armies sat on the table waiting for a rules set. I'll see if the Huntingdon group ...
I have POW but we've found that with the relatively large scale scenarios we play the alternative movement (bounds) results in a lot of hanging around. I...
