One of the three games we played last weekend at the club was a great little game of Basic Impetvs. The opposing sides were representatives from the Marian Roman Army and the Slave Revolt Army from the basic Lists. Both our armies had not seen battle for sometime and I had only just finished rebasing the Slave Revolt figures from the WAB basing style to Impetvs basing…no easy task when you consider the amount of figures that had to be rebased. The battle played well, but in the Roman favour as I was playing the Slave Army. I quickly found out that having no cavalry can really stuff your day around and massed slaves do not really holdup well to veteran Roman Legionaries. However it was a great little game and I will most definitely be playing the Slave Army again….but this time I better take some cavalry. The figures were from John Maguire’s’ collection and have all been rebased in the last couple of months.
Enjoy the images.
