3 hours a game? NAH. It's like all skirmish games, they can be over quickly, like my last game of En Garde where D'Artagnan & the Musketeers all died during the first turn under a rain of Dutch grenades, or you can fanny about for ages, shoot the ****, drink beer and it takes all evening. IMHO

The play tester who said 3 hours also said he'd not got the rules right, and used too many figures, but over all really liked it.

This game is brand new, there will be some AARs online very soon. This is the authors blog if you want to fire off some direct questions:

The new title in Osprey Games' OWG series is with us now.

Broken Legions

It is titled Broken Legions, and I'll share the text from the back of the book to give you an idea of what it's about:

The Roman Empire rules the civilized world with an iron fist, seemingly all-powerful and limitless. And yet, the power of Rome is secured not by its mighty legions, but by small bands of warriors and agents fighting a secret war. Tasked by the Emperor to explore ancient temples, forgotten labyrinths and beast-haunted caverns, they seek out artifacts hidden by the gods themselves, hunt creatures of myth and face enemies that would use dark magic against the empire.

Broken Legions

Broken Legions is a set of fantasy skirmish rules for a war unknown to history, fought in the shadows of the Roman Empire. Various factions recruit small warbands to fight in tight, scenario-driven battles that could secure the mystical power to defend – or crush – Rome.

North Star are not making a specific range of figures to go with this title, but we did provide photos for the book using figures from the Crusader Miniatures Romans, Celts and Germans, plus a selection of the mythical creatures we made for a previous Osprey book, Of Gods and Mortals.
