I will have to scope out what I need for the armies at Quatre Bras or at least to find out what a recommended sized army is.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-75909160036615834912016-10-25T16:52:24.349+08:002016-10-25T16:52:24.349+08:00You've got too much time on your hands!

After that maybe we could work out a Napoleonic thing?Stretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735635719622814674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-52817228176870481582016-10-24T20:33:42.710+08:002016-10-24T20:33:42.710+08:00It certainly was a great game.

I have the same problem in 15mm with my 16 figure peltast units (compared with the 12 figure Thracian LF).<br /><br />I'm tempted to try my hand at some 6mm Ancients, but must do more of my 6mm Napoleonics but at teh moment I'm between 28mm Napoleonics and working on my 15mm Fallschirmjagers (who I'm organising so a base can be a squad, platoon or company).Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-39863620273849984022016-10-24T20:29:52.004+08:002016-10-24T20:29:52.004+08:00Thanks, but all credit is to Mark Woods.

The four in command 2 were engaged early (and routed). Command 3 on our far right only got in late and was really chasing the Romans to get in contact (even to the point of forcing some of their skirmishers to exit the table). I think only one of their five warbands actually came to grips with Roman legionaries.<br /><br />Mark is planning to do a Roman versus Parthian game in 6mm. His Parthian army matches the quality of the camp the Gauls had borrowed. So will be a beauty to see in action.<br /><br />Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-10238420439334672952016-10-23T14:41:45.364+08:002016-10-23T14:41:45.364+08:00Looks like the Gauls had to do a route march to ge...Looks like the Gauls had to do a route march to get to the Roman lines? Did many of the warbands get in?<br />Those big Impetus bases allow for plenty of figures at this scale, which is great.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.com
