I\u2019ve had a change of heart on this game. Rather than invent the wheel, I\u2019ll stick more closely with the Warlord games Germania. Rather than 4 parallel games I\u2019ll just focus on the ambush from the woods, described as –<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Lucius Eggius harrassed by the Bructeri passing Kalkriese Berg. Followed by the subsequent ambush by Arminius and the Chercusci.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ll use the \u2018Disaster in Teutoburger Wald\u2019 scenario in the Germania book. Its pretty much what I have planned anyway. It\u2019s the first part of the battle. If it\u2019s a success then we can continue with the other parts of the battle.<\/p>\n

So to amass the troops I need to get some commitment for folks to bring the troops.<\/p>\n

Germans<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the German I plan to use a \u2018standard sized\u2019 units of 12 bases of DBM Warband. 3×4 (perhaps dropping to 9 if figures are a problem)<\/p>\n

There needs to be 3 command , each of 3 \u2018divisions\u2019. A German command being<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So just over 100 bases of warriors per command (and there are three commands 2 Chercusci and 1 Bructeri).<\/p>\n

I have over 100 stands of warriors, and I believe that Steve, Pete and Dene all have some (so we should be OK I\u2019d say)<\/p>\n

Romans<\/strong> (which may be more of a sticking point)<\/p>\n

We\u2019d need over 100 bases of legionaries (can we do that?) I might have about 20~<\/p>\n

We’ll also need 6 sets of baggage wagons and 6 sets of ‘civilians’<\/p>\n

This is aimed for about 10-12 participants if we can manage it. If not we can scale it back. I\u2019ll come round Thu for commitment<\/p>\n
