My 15mm Gallic campaign seems to be getting out of hand!-I decided that one legion c/w auxiliaries and some cavalry was enough to take on my Gallic army-but,of course,being a typical wargamer,I now need(want?) more figures as the Romans wander all over Gaul,and maybe even Germany!!
I ordered another Roman army from Warrior Miniatures(arrived in super quick time,as usual) and loads of Germans from Lancashire games(arrived when Alan said they would!)-Now I already had three "spare" cohorts of Romans,and with a bit of "jiggling" with the command groups,I have managed to make another full Legion,plus 3 units of cavalry and 5 cohorts of Auxiliaries!
New Legion from Warrior-fine looking fellows!

Top photo is the Legate,in charge of the Legion,bottom photo is the first of many Germans-I am actually looking forward to painting these-the OPC cavalry are a particularly nice figure(I hope I can do them justice!)
My next battle with my Romans is an "Ambush-type " scenario,but I don't have any waggons to act as baggage! So what to do???-well you know what I'm going to come up with don't you?-Yes I had to make some-very basic,using just some pieces of wood trim,cocktail sticks,matchsticks and some round "shields" plus a few spare 15mm horses that I just happened to have in my "rumble box"
Well,I now have to go and explain to the cat next door which "TIER" I'm in-or is it the other way round-he'll explain to me!!!!!!
