Campanians, Apulians and Samnites

As punic wars ranges is being revamped, I think it could be an excellent idea to release some italian and latin miniatures, cause in the majority of wargame rules, both Carthage and Republican Romans could add this guys as allies or auxiliaries, or have their own army list, but without miniatures.
I know that there´s an Italian Allies reference in New Republican Roman, but I think they´re too simply. Taking a look to samnites, campanians, bruttians and so on in Osprey books, I think they could be memorable miniatures for all the fans.

Not just for the Punic Wars, but it would be nice to model the Samnite and Social Wars as well.

Totally right, I only named punic wars cause are probably the most known of Rome´s Republican period wars. Also, Etruscans could be nice too

yep, i'd like Campanians, Bruttians, Apulians and Samnites too.

Campanians and Bruttians most of all as the Romans had Campanian noble cavalry as allies and Hannibal had a lot of Campanian and Bruttian hoplites fighting for him during the Second Punic War.

(a lot of the Southern Italian allies were split into sort of oligarchic and democratic factions a bit like the Greek cities during the Pelopennesian war, with the oligarchs/nobles being mostly pro-Roman and the democrats/middle and lower classes being anti-Roman, so pro-Carthaginian - though there might have been some jockeying for position among nobles and rich merchants going on too).

Excellent idea add my vote.
