I have signed up for the War & Conquest tournament at Attack held at Devizes between the 20th and 21st of July http://www.ddwg.org.uk/
I started 2 years ago creating a Caesarean Roman army for War & Conquest. I sided towards this set of rules after much deliberation and trial and error. I had played Warhammer for years and was looking to do some kind of ancient historical gaming at 25-28mm. Initially I tried Fields of Glory, which, although great in 15mm I felt it lost its manoeuvrable feel in 28mm.
After much searching including Warhammer Ancient Battles I found Rob Brooms excellent War & Conquest.
Even though it feels familiar it plays distinctly differently to Warhammer so I didn't feel as though I was playing the same game, just using historical figures instead.
Unfortunately even after all this time I still haven't finished my 2000pt army. I last used it at one of Robs excellent games days at Iron Acton where I shamefully had to borrow some figs so that I didn't have to play with any unpainted models!!!
So here we are to date:
My List comprises of:
1 Imperator 170 pts, not painted yet
1 Legate 140 pts, he is finished but I still need to add a couple of figs and then base him.
1 Legionary Unit of 24 men 336 pts, all done.
1 Legionary Unit of 24 men plus Senior Centurion 396 pts, all done.
1 Veteran Legionary Unit of 18 men plus Senior Centurion, plus Aquilifer 498 pts, all done.
1 Gallic Cavalry Unit 10 men 170 pts, all done (the above shields are LBMS transfers but I painted the Cav shields free hand).
1 Spanish Light cavalry Unit 8 men 128 pts, 2 still based for FoG, the rest need painting.
1 Cretan archer Unit 10 men 110 pts, half done.
and 1 Spanish Skirmish Infantry Unit 10 men, mostly done, 2 need javelins and another to paint.
Still a fair bit to do, so lets see if I can surprise myself and finish it for next month!!
