Clubbing it! Another Fab Game of ACW from Shaun

Just a few snaps I managed to get of another one of Shaun's fantastic ACW games at the club. He really knows the well the minutia of how to put on an excellent game.

Middle Imperial Romans vs Sassanid's WAB Game about to start!

Roman General and Warlord Games Plastic Legionary! From 18 years ago!

After a conversation with a mate about painting up some of the lovely AD Miniatures Third Century Romans range, cast and sold by Footsore Miniatures I started to search for older Imperial Roman painting from the past. Unfortunately, my laptops tend to get overloaded and die and I was only able to find a couple of sets of images. One was a vignette I painted up for a friend some 22 years ago just after the publication of the Warhammer Ancient Battles, Spartacus supplement!

Warlord Games Early Imperial Roman Legionary

(I think this came free with Wargames Illustrated?)

So, in effect I found very little by way of inspiration for the AD Miniatures Third Century Romans but was very pleasantly surprised to find some work from many a moon ago!

Battle of Agincourt Anniversary

In place of the ubiquitous Shakespeare quote, I will leave you with the words of chilling words of Jean de Wavrin (Jehan de Waurin) who witnessed the carnage from the safety of the French baggage train on that day, October 25th, 1415. 

"The French advanced proudly, but the mud clung to them like glue and their ranks fell into confusion." 

"Soon afterwards the English archers, seeing the vanguard thus shaken, issued from behind their stockade, threw away their bows and quivers, then took their swords, hatchets, mallets, axes, falcon-beaks, and other weapons... and never ceased to kill."
