Having got the balance pretty good so far, I decided to try and extend the rules into the Early Imperial period. So chariots were added, as were auxiliaries. The Scorpio battery was an interesting addition, and has only been playtested the once, but let's just say that it probably needs some work. With the change in scope, I thought a new name might be in order, so I've renamed them Rule Britannia (and Gaul). They can be found on this page here:

The armies that I had painted for Caesar Rampant I passed on to my wargaming buddy John, so I've been cobbling together new units which are not yet painted, but they are high on the priority list! Here's a couple of snaps of the playtesting that I did.
Romans on the right in stealth armour, Gauls on the left in multiple states of undress! |
The 12 figure base is handy for the Romans, as they have flanks in the rules. |
The Gauls are boosted by some spare Germans and Wargames Foundry Cyclops. Rest of the Gauls will be arriving soon. |
In this earlier game there was a lot more running away. I've altered that now. |

Looks nice, lovely minis and hut!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. Yes it is unusual that I have the terrain painted before the minis!
DeleteI will try this out, thanks! I have been looking for an ancients game at this scale.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome FMB. Once I've got all my Gauls I might try a 36 point battle. I find Dragon Rampant is best at this size, and I can't see the games getting bogged down at all.
DeleteThis all looks very interesting Nate...
ReplyDeleteI may have use for these...;-)
All the best. Aly
David's list on his blog are excellent for late empire, but see if you can do a little converting to the activation system here.
