"Use BGG to get info about a game you would like to buy, use CSW after you have bought the game to get detailed info from the designer."

Exactly !! BGG has also some good AAR regularly for many games.

Nice Scythed chariots, the picture is too small to read everything but it seems that General Taxiles is there but i'm unable to read the others, some Phalanx are there too. Are the Bronze Shields Elite units included, they are a little like actually the successors of the Hyspaspist and Silvershields...

Nice Avatar Franciscus(my favorite greek helmet since childhood !!), taken from AJE ? I doubt that it was still in use in the period covered by the game but at least the picture is done for any Persian, Peloponesian war (depending of the cut of the map)and some more war. I hope that Pangi will do mo...

Some cool legionnaries of the 190's. Is this a muscle cuirass at this time ?
I don't know much about Empire uniforms being more accustomed to Republican ones.
Cool fortifications on the border (Casta).

Florent

Thanks !
email sent !

" The naval war is directly on the map (be careful of the storms at sea during the Antiquity !!)"
" and part of the map with weather filter."

Nice to see that the best plans can be destroyed by Poseidon/Neptune.
How it works for the weather filter ?

Florent

Thanks.
Can you tell us some difference between legions, Phalanx, Hoplite type of soldiers which are the main components of the major belligerants of the time.

Florent

Nice !! Any Tutorials to learn rapidly the changes compared to the other games ?

A question about the Civil war in the 60's. Are the campaign in Judea and the sieges of Jerusalem and Masada represented in the scenario ?

Florent

" the eagle is shown in the main unit panel and on map, but when you click on the detail panel, you get the pictures of every cohorts...no problem and all the current team is ok with that"

Ok thanks, you saved my day !

Florent

Thus when you say Generic counter Eagle for a legion means that all the legions will be represented by Eagles rather than a figurine with a Uniform ? I'm a little surprised, i hope that a click on the Eagle in order to have information on the legion will have also a legionnaire displayed on the info...

Florent

"The eagles are used as as 'generic' graphics to tell the player there is a Legion there" What does it mean ? A click and a legion is separated in Ad-hoc/Kampfgruppe groups ? The legion is not a basic unit meaning early Republic will have for each legion, a Velite counter, a Hastati counter, a Prin...

Florent

Great !!

Very interested here.

Any news about playtest and expected release ?

"I would make it in the form of a ledger page "Events", where you can check the important events for the next turns (as well as perhaps some other fluff about the current point in the game)." Actually it can be done in the Historical Background in the ledger, one page for History, one page for Advi...

Angus Mc Bride Legionnaries in Gaul 52 BC.

The attachment Legion in Gaul 52 BC.jpg is no longer available

Florent

" But whats up with the Early Imperial Helmet and and white black plumes" I think this is generic Roman counter to be opposed to main leader with real portrait. For the Legion don't worry Wisje, Pangi is a History aficionado and the Uniforms should be respected thus your Marian Legion should have th...

Florent

Yes one of the Mithridates war at the same time as Sertorius. It seems that Pangi/Gpepper are working on the Romans since the Legio counters are generic Eagles for now. I hope that after Republican soldiers/Marius legion counters are done, you will have/find a use for these Eagles perhaps depots leg...

Florent

What is the scale of the map ? It seems that the southern tip of Italy is changed (more area) compared to NCP whereas some in Spain are more or less the same ?
Is the Basic Roman Unit the legion (in th 4200 5000 men depending of Republic (Manipular)or Marian etc... ?

Florent

I saw the screenshot with Spain at Father's home computer this week-end with a larger screen and i was stunned by the quality of town and leaders work. The leaders almost look real whereas they come from marble not photos :blink: The cities showing the level of civilization and romanization is also ...

What is the currency used for the game : Talents or Sesterces ? A cool feature with other games was that after a battle you could get somes muskets/rifles, did you (will you do ) do something of a rule after the taking of a city by assault giving some money by the selling of captives or ransoms. Mar...

"in Gaul towers were often enough build ad hoc"

I have to verified Caesar about his gallic wars but i think towers were used at Avaricum. I will wait Bohémond's new features.

Florent

Excellent for historical immersion but anything about tower, Rams, Catapults, or War Elephants, it seems that they were used at Thapsus in Africa.

Florent

Here is an exemple of tower (Roman), the Romans are late Augustan, not of the Gallic /civil war period.

Florent

"You'll do it the old traditional Roman way: take supply wagons around in large enough quantities... or have the besieger starve before the besieged." Well this is Peloponnesian War type of Siege with a one year starvation, with Hellenistic and eastern way of Warfare (Tyre), you would use Tower wit...

Florent

Lodilefty, are Sicily and Egypt playing important role in supply, i mean the player securing them having an advantage or rather more supply ?

Florent

Yes but Varro, either under orders or not didn't participate in the Ilerda Campaign. What will be interesting is what the player will do, concentrate all 7 Veterans legions knowing that Caesar will have a siege of Massilia and have some chance of success in battle using good defensive ground or ...e...

Florent

Yes Caesar is Caesar and sometimes some facts and numbers about ennemy had to be taken cautiously...

Florent

" but looks like Pompeian campaign in Spain, and a do mean MILITARY CAMPAIGN" This is the starting of the Great main Campaign in 50 BC, yes Spain is represented and had 7 Veterans legions there under excellent leaders like Lucius Afranius and Marcus Petreius (they had good military experience)with 5...
