I’ve had a change of heart on this game. Rather than invent the wheel, I’ll stick more closely with the Warlord games Germania. Rather than 4 parallel games I’ll just focus on the ambush from the woods, described as –

 “Lucius Eggius harrassed by the Bructeri passing Kalkriese Berg. Followed by the subsequent ambush by Arminius and the Chercusci.”

I’ll use the ‘Disaster in Teutoburger Wald’ scenario in the Germania book. Its pretty much what I have planned anyway. It’s the first part of the battle. If it’s a success then we can continue with the other parts of the battle.

So to amass the troops I need to get some commitment for folks to bring the troops.

Germans

For the German I plan to use a ‘standard sized’ units of 12 bases of DBM Warband. 3×4 (perhaps dropping to 9 if figures are a problem)

There needs to be 3 command , each of 3 ‘divisions’. A German command being

So just over 100 bases of warriors per command (and there are three commands 2 Chercusci and 1 Bructeri).

I have over 100 stands of warriors, and I believe that Steve, Pete and Dene all have some (so we should be OK I’d say)

Romans (which may be more of a sticking point)

3 command each of 4 ‘divisions’ –

We’d need over 100 bases of legionaries (can we do that?) I might have about 20~

We’ll also need 6 sets of baggage wagons and 6 sets of ‘civilians’

This is aimed for about 10-12 participants if we can manage it. If not we can scale it back. I’ll come round Thu for commitment

Any thoughts?
