Gauls- Aulerci Federation update Village 2/11/21

[Unlucky General]

I reckon it's your best work Matt. I look forward to seeing them all set up - an impressive horde. I can't think of too many armies harder to pull together than the Celts - all that individualism and plaid work. Makes me want to add another warband to my lot.

As always Matt, top job. You must have a fair few Gauls now.

I think I have clocked 280 painted now, 200 odd Victrix and 80 odd Gallic Auxilia.

Cheers

Thanks mate, many happy memories of trying to hold off your hordes, I do not think I’m Républicans ever beat them.

When I finish in about three weeks I will put the 350 of them on the table

Very nice indeed Matt. You must have hundreds of the buggers now. Where's the opposition?

I have a early republican completed of 26 bases of three legions plus two allied Italian legions of 9 vases and 6 bases of Gallic and German Auxillia, plus I have started putting together a plastic Caesarian which will be my Christmas focus project and a lot of unpainted Imperials, 300 odd foundry end of the first century Dacian wars figs.

Eventually I want to paint around another 130 Gallic figures to make it able to take on two Caesarian legions.

Fantastic stuff. And rules? I presume you will have to go with the widest appeal for visitors.

[bluewillow]

I mix it up A bit, anything that will accept large diorama basing for ease of movement for big armies. Impetus i gave to say is my favourite the ability for units, a command or whole armies to move across a table rapidly has lots of pluses particularly for cavalry or irregulars like the Gauls, well drilled troops stand as expected, but I also can play Hail Caesar or WAB even, I have purchased To the Strongest and ALDG but not played a games yet.

We have unique offerings to our customers, the ability to walk the battlefields then Wargame the battle so it adds a extra to our games, plus being able to bring your partner for a holiday in a rare noblemans L'Hotel Particular (basically a chateau in town with a large garden) in a historic city.

The goal is as long as Gauls or Romans are dying in droves and we both have fun nattering away, with beautifully painted figures on a outstanding table that is the ideal!

Look forward to seeing them all together.

[Burnin Coal]

That’s an excellent looking horde you’ve got coming together there ! I can only imagine what they will look like all together
