Caesarian Gallic Wars Project -Marching Fort 6/9/ 21

[bluewillow]

Kicking off my Republican Caesarian Roman army this month. I hope to complete by the end of the year to match my Gallic Army, although I do not think it will be anywhere as big...... the 28mm Caesarian Romans will be additions to my current republicans, I want to do another legion.....either the 6th or 13th which is around 100 miniatures, I have purchased most of the figures but need a few or Warlord or foundry figures and some artillery additions.


Gallic army project is here https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=117049.0

When you play impetus you normally need a camp for your table that the enemy can assault and take, I like to build pieces for all of my armies normally with a small scene that tells a story. With that in mind I purchased some figures and the wall pieces from First Corps Miniatures to make this encampment, with legionaries replacing a wall section and digging the trench deeper as a new centurion has arrived "and we must keep them men busy".

I do plan on adding the 6 remaining walls and four corner towers and two gates at some stage in the future to make a complete square marching camp for my Punic wars and Gallic Wars roman armies collection.

We have the remains of three marching camps from the Gallic wars and Caesar's conquest of western Gaul within 40 mins of the Maison. Two in particular are impressive and were used by successive armies up to the early medieval period. One was located in 2010, the clearing of a forest found the remains of the walls and ditches, the archaeologists suspect this was the fort that was sieged during Caesar's invasion of the west...... A guided tour is available to visit these forts, the Roman Museum and also wargame the Gallic wars at L'hotel de Hercé in our "Salon de Guerre".
