Just saw this on the Osprey Games Facebook page...



No info as yet but looks interesting!

And my handful of Romans may finally find a place...

I just hope it isn't going to be another year+ before it gets published!

From the Osprey blog:

OWG 15: Broken Legions – Fantasy Skirmish Wargames in the Roman Empire (Jul 2016)

Interesting slant on the genre, perhaps it may encourage Mr. C to get his 15mm fantasyesque Romans done.

Isn't this Mark Latham the same cheap who wrote Legends of the Old West/The Alamo, etc? Or am I dreaming that? Don't have the book to hand to check...

Used to work for GW. Didn't he write one of the editions of 40K?

The very same, I guess. Also known for an ill-fated stab at "Waterloo" and contributions to the Games Workshop universe in general. No mention yet of the ruleset in question on his blog, though.

Interesting idea, looking forward to seeing how it works out.

I'm more excited abt Poseidon's Warriors to tweak for Troy, but this is nice too.

Yeah...that sounds like exactly what I was hoping it would be. Just hope the rules deliver.

I'm interested, several Osprey's already bought & played for, but am I going to have to convert my Legionaries to being left handed. Something 'sinister' I feel.
I'm not anti-left, I am a lefty. My wife bought me a badge that says, 'I may be left handed, but I'm always right'

There is also an unrelated Darren Latham.

Didn't Mark also write Trafalgar, probably my all time favourite ship game?

He does make fun rules, that are great for getting guys together with and just having fun. Nothing too serious. Waterloo was a pretty book. Also massive.
I always asked for dorky signatures in my books, he always obliged. Fun type of fellow - although I don't know him at all, and he certainly wouldn't know a nobody like me.

This looks like a fun way to mash monsters and Romans. Everyone has Romans, everyone has a monster or two lying around. Winning combo? Maybe ...

There's something just ... not right ... about that ...
