Auxiliaries 01

Sagitarius archers clamor to get back into the game. These are Warlord and Foundry mixed together.

They do so nicely and were fun to finally get painted after years of closeted neglect.

Green on blue action in the center of town. Auxiliaries duke it out with no room to budge.

Auxiliaries 03

Germans surge next to the town can they intervene? Some controversy there. They needed to be able to operate as fleet footed.

That and smaller unit sizes would have helped their cause.

The battle in the village reminded me of the dramatic cover art by Michael Perry for the

Warhammer Ancient Battles first supplement. Armies of Antiquity allowed Rich and I to play our first games

with Macedonians vs. his newly painted (at that time) Early Imperial Romans.
That was way back in 1999.

My auxiliaries dared to stand up to the Rhine veteran legions and got thumped.

Rich was gaining the victory count total toward attaining the seat of emperor.

The green shields had new decals I made from re-enactor's pages.
