I found Impetus in pdf for $14.00, so I picked up that and Sword and Spear, with Hail Cesar as a gift, I'm in good shape rules wise now
. I still plan to base a la DBX in order to take advantage of a variety of games.
Cheers mates!
Also, minis wise, I'm doing a Celt/Germans/Britons force(s) and Early Imperial Romans. I got really lucky and managed to scoop up almost all of the Corvus Aux and legionaries I could find. In fact, more than enough to play quite a large game. I also have some Xylston celts, which will make great Germans to start with as sadly the Corvus minis are being sent to the States and I wont get them until the summer...
