Just watched the play through video.https://www.beastsofwar.com/forums/topic/shock-and-horror-a-spqr-demo/So Romans get shield wall - yep, get that. But a unit of 12 Romans can also form Tseudo (in a skirmish game!!!) which not only benefits armour saves but at the same time has no penalty on fighting ability.Really.......? Whilst I appreciate it was a demo games it appeared to be a "buckets of dice" game which did not impress me. The Gauls attacks with one ten man unit went:Roll attack dice (at one point x 30)Reroll misses due to DruidReroll all hits due to ParryDefender rolls armour savesJust too much die rolling for me!
This is literally why the myth of "Historical gamers are no fun rivet counters" exist. This is not a historical re-enactment game, no Warlord game is. Its Hollywood History occasionally allowing you to tailor your stuff to be more accurate if you wish.
