Some of it is a bit rude ;D
But it all adds to the flavour!

Hello all

Mark, share with us the campaign please.
I also have some ideas to use with your battleboard and Simon just blew up everything when he presented that lovelly roman boat. lol
Now i want to make some roman sailors and some ancient pirates.
I might open a topic to see how people will react with this idea.

Keep it coming.

Cheers

Rui

The campaign will hopefully be in the magazine Rui, but essentially you will have a politician and a gang and play games to win various key locations in Rome and become elected that year by controlling the most areas. I will add in special characters and troop types (eg a lictor bodyguard unit), as well as some more formalised scenarios from the ones in WSS 63 as well as some new ones.

Cheers
Mark

The warship and the swan neck are grand manner. The little monoreme is a scratch build. I've another 7 done too! But not to the same display standard. I'm running a Ronan naval participation game at the Naval Wargames Show in Gosport, UK in a few months involving escorting a merchant ship past Sextus Pompey's pirates!

If possible, please tell when they are published.
I can order the pdf of the magazine and then print it.

Some harbour scenarios would be nice, as if gangs would try to control the contraband dealings.
You could also use roman regular forces as to stop the gangs.

cheers

It might be it goes on the WSS website as a free download? Guy Bowers the editor is normally pretty keen to publish my stuff.

Those are great, Mark!  And so many minis.  Are the Patricians Crusader?  I love the bold colours on them.

Thanks Simon, you are seeing but a handful of the 120 odd I have done so far. The Patricians are Foundry figures they are also the basis of the gang leaders mostly!
