Nice armiesthumbs up, you are right in the end Julius Caesar will emerge victorious.

Sertorius!!!!

Pompey was just a blowhard with an expensive hairdo.

Oh my, what a great looking game!

Paul, I can not wait for the battle report!!!!!!!!! Also it looks like my basement with some of my figures! Mike Adams

idontbelieveit02 Jul 2015 4:02 p.m. PST

Yeah, I haven't seen that many figures on a table since I was at one of Legion 1950s games!

Mithridates02 Jul 2015 4:53 p.m. PST

Great looking armies Paul. Looking forward to the AAR.

Sertorius!!!!

Pompey was just a blowhard with an expensive hairdo.


Those are fighting words, Seņor Squint!
Of course ultimately he lost so there are few to defend him…..

In defence of Pompey, I did paint a command stand for him; it will probably also do for Marius. I have an idea of one for Sulla and another for Sertorius, but I just haven't got around to those yet. Caesar is easy enough – loads of manufacturers have figures for him.

Thanks for looking!

Much hilarity ensued as Willie cheered every time a Roman bit the dust, even when it was one of his. This did not amuse Pompey very much.

Emperorbaz04 Jul 2015 11:55 a.m. PST

Wow! Fantastic set up, great pictures. That REALLY is wargaming!

LEGION 195005 Jul 2015 2:05 p.m. PST

Paul, great looking game!!!!!!!!!!!! Paul, are those Companion Romans with the large horse hair crests? Mike Adams

Caliban06 Jul 2015 3:40 a.m. PST

Hi Mike, well spotted – in fact, most of the Roman and Spanish figures on the table are by Companion Miniatures.

These aren't my usual, and so have come out rather differently, but they're still a lot better than nowt. There are more close shots of the units than I managed. I reckon it will take me two more posts to cover the rest of the action…

LEGION 195006 Jul 2015 9:58 a.m. PST

Paul, I figured that they were!!!! I wish that I did not sell the ones I had ( the Romans with crest ) Cheers Mike Adams

mbsparta06 Jul 2015 11:39 a.m. PST

What a spectacular game!!! Nothing better than a Caesarian Era Roman battle !!!

Caliban06 Jul 2015 1:39 p.m. PST

Thanks, Mike B. One of the reasons for playing it is to try out our rules for various levels of legion quality for use in our campaign. I liked the way it worked – brutal, but necessary…

Stirring stuff – I am in Willie's corner!

Cheers, Garry, I think most people were – it's good to see Romans crush one anther…

LEGION 195010 Jul 2015 5:25 a.m. PST
