Building a Late Roman army with existing figures
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2008 9:19 am
My rule book is in the post but obviously I won't get the late roman army lists for a few more months yet. But there's nothing wrong with planning in advance, so can anyone who's seen the beta lists give me some thoughts on whether I can make a legal army with the following - this will probably be some sort of feoderate Roman or Romano-British army (with Frankish or other Germanic allies) - it's actually my current WAB Arthurian army.
I've attempted to group the figures I've already got into what look like sensible battlegroups:
6 units of heavy cavalry with kontos.
4 unit of bow-armed Roman cavalry.
6 units of 'regular' Roman cavalry with chainmail, shields and spears.
6 units of Germanic light cavalry with shield and spears/javelins.
6 units of Germanic cavalry with chainmail, shields and spears.
6 units of Germanic cavalry with chainmail, shields and spears.
6 units of Roman-style infantry with shield and spear, plus 3 units of archers.
6 units of Roman-style infantry with shield and spear, plus 3 units of archers.
6 units of Roman-style infantry with shield and spear.
6 units of Roman-style infantry with shield and spear.
6 units of Roman-style infantry with chainmail, shield and spear.
8 units of Roman-style infantry with chainmail, shield and spear.
8 units of Roman-style infantry with chainmail, shield and spear.
12 units of Germanic infantry with shield and spear.
6 units of Germanic skirmisher-types with javelins.
Plenty of units, but am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
