Tonight we played a couple of Dux Bellorum games.
Great fun was had by all!

This game would be great with 100x50mm bases stuffed with 10mm figures...
Great stuff Lud.
Sod's law the camera 'died'. Great paint jobs on the figures ! 8)
My rubbish sense of perspective seems to be playing silly Bs.....Or are there some ginormous D6s on the table ?
Cheers - Phil.
Good report sire! Pity about the camera. :(
Nice report but I know only too well of the frustration of the camera batteries dying at the worst possible moment!

Thanks! It was a collective project we did a few years ago and everyone put a lot of effort into making their armies pretty.
We did it for Dark Ages/Arthurian WAB, played a few games and hated the rules...
We have:
Saxons (me)
Picts
Attecotti
Irish (mostly cavalry)
Romano-British
As for the dice, they're ex-casino dice so yes quite large. They're hard to find, expensive but well worth it. Being precision engineered they tend to roll very fairly over the course of a game. Also, they just
feel right when you throw them, and they're easy to see for those with 'older eyes'... ;D :D

Yes, they're also noticably heavier than ordinary plastic dice. A friend has a load of them - they're probably worth more than his army!
Nice game, by the way. I particularly like the banners. They always give a unit an identity. :-bd
Nicely done Luddite 8)
