Republican Romans, Samnites, Gauls and Etruscans!

 A game that was fought years ago and I came across the pictures- thought I'd post them.

Two bloody huge armies- fighting across a river. An Etruscan/Gallic alliance fighting against a combined force of Samnites and Republican Romans.

We threw a lot of figures on the table- and rolled a lot of dice!

In the end the Gallic/Etruscans won by the narrowest of margins- mainly because there were so many Gauls!




Gauls!

Thracians vs Samnites

 An interesting game between two armies that never actually met on the field of battle- but were both from the same time frame. Ross' Thracians came out to take on my Samnites. Both armies are made up of predominantly Light Infantry or Light Heavy Infantry.  Ross' Thracians have a lot more cavalry- I had two units for the Samnites- he had four for the Thracians. His Thracian Cavalry also have the ability to mix in Light Infantry , which slows the cavalry but gives a crucial +2 dice in melee.

My best troops- Linen Legion
