FierceKitty... I think the Romans did have a hard time against the Persians... they had to do what they always did and adapt... even then it was tough going... mind you they way I through dice... no matter what side I take it will be tough going  lol

Philippe... Thank you ... another set of rules added to the list.

All the best    Aly

It is a very good set, even if the third century, depending if you see it from the early Severian period or the Tetrarchy times, is maybe partly at the edge. I would say that to play the Palmyrenian-Aurelian period onwards you can fully rely on these rules.
I may have sounded a little harsh in my comments. Please forgive me. Anybody have the right to play with any rules of his wish without needing my opinion of course!

Comitatus gives a good game for this period.

No worries Philippe...

I am happy to look at many sets of rules...
My starting point with Lion Rampant is partly based on the fact that I am familiar with the system and it allows my daughter and friends who are not especially interested in 'historical' gaming to join in a fun evening beating me into the ground...

OB...Thank you for your support.

Very nice brushwork.

What is the scale of Comitatus? Is it big battle, skirmish somewhere in between or does it cater to a variety of options?

Fab brushwork Aly.  :-*

Those A&A Mid Imperial Romans have always been on my radar but I have never got around to buying any- it's a fabulously wide range and pretty unique.

Comitatus is definitely battle scale and brushes aside any skirmish level. Of course, battles during the Dark Ages may be small in comparison with Ancients or Napoleonic. Units are in multiple bases in the usual way. The author says he was in fact the first to model units that way.

Greetings...

I have finished a couple more units for this project...
Some rank and file archers... I’ve used a simple palette for these...but they have still turned out to be quite colourful...

Fine work Aly - just catching up with your last few units.  I really like the round multi bases and the colour schemes.  From memory, I think that A & A and GB are quite compatible.  That mid-Imperial Roman period is really interesting (though I always managed to avoid it!)

Thank you James...

I hope you are keeping well old chap

When I get a chance I will order a few figures from Gripping Beast and see how they look.

All the best.  Aly

I do like the kneeling archers Aly, nicely done overall as you say with a simple palette.

Take care and stay safe.

Best wishes,

Thank you Helen...
You keep yourself safe as well...

Isn’t it nice that we all have a creative hobby that hopefully keeps us sane in our current world of madness....
