Seeing this combo I feel like in the past they might have been mates as children. One the son of the Chief, the other the son of a minor noble. Through the years they have stood through many battles and when one became warlord himself he made the other his bannerman. Not sure why but these two minis seem to radiate such a relation... good choice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-59859586641003733662013-09-12T00:55:45.800-05:002013-09-12T00:55:45.800-05:00Hi Monty,

I'm a Varro rather than a Hannibal, I'm afraid! <br /><br />Combine this with generally appalling luck with the dice (not for nothing has the expression "he rolled like an Ev" passed into our group's lexicon) and I am guaranteed to lose almost every time, from skirmish-level games up to army-level engagements.<br /><br />Oh well, at least I'm consistent!Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-33029734187294556152013-09-11T16:14:52.260-05:002013-09-11T16:14:52.260-05:00And I did take you up on the tip and order the mag...And I did take you up on the tip and order the magazine with an article about winning with Gauls.

Thanks for your kind words! <br /><br />I should probably bug you off line for FoG Roman killing tips. <br />In impact, Cav is down due to Impact Foot getting a +1 against mounted and in melee, the Romans get a +1 for Skilled Swordsman and +1 for armor against protected. I might have done it wrong but I was down on every melee whether it was Cav, Lt Chariot and foot. Enough bellyaching. At least I got out of the house!
