This is the 25mm 350 AP Marian Roman army that I took to Roll Call 2012.<\/p>\n
Command 1:<\/strong> Command 2:<\/strong> Command 3:<\/strong> Baggage Command:<\/strong> For a grand total of 81 ME.<\/p>\n Although I was probably the smallest army there at\u00a0only 52 elements including the baggage, I think I had more ME than most of my\u00a0opponents because of the Bd(S). OTOH, that means that the commands \u00a0can be lost pretty\u00a0quickly if you start losing the Bd(S). But they are as tough as old boots.<\/p>\n The army is a refinement of the one I took to Warfare last year. The main\u00a0changes were to make the commands more asymmetric to allow one to have the low\u00a0PIPs (which involved concentrating the Bd(S), to drop the Cv(O) (that just got\u00a0themselves into trouble), to add the El(I) to try and counter the nasty wedged\u00a0Kn(F) and to have space to put some real elements to defend the camp.<\/p>\n The strategy was that I would normally try and deploy on just one side of the\u00a0table and turn a flank, hoping that I could destroy that before the other flank\u00a0of the enemy could wheel across and engage. Against a mobile steppe enemy I would just hunker down and rely on the toughness of the Bd(S) and Ax(S) rather\u00a0than advance and risk the flanks as they just evaded away. Lucullus’ command\u00a0would normally go in the centre as the main fighting command, and get the middle\u00a0die. One flank command would then be the hinge and would deploy with its auxilia\u00a0in the camp, giving them a factor of 6 behind the TF and making them very\u00a0difficult to winkle out. The other flank would then get the high die and push\u00a0forward as far and fast as possible, using the Auxilia to deploy in the flank\u00a0zone and push through any terrain on the side of the table. Depending on the terrain and opponent this would either be the Regular or Irregular Auxilia (Regular if there was Difficult Going, Irregular with the legionaries if it was open or needed more punch. If I defended then a\u00a0BUA could help push the hinge point as far forward as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the 25mm 350 AP Marian Roman army that I took to Roll Call 2012.
