Title: The Punic wars, Roman republic v Carthaginian
Post by: slimreidy1 on 05 April 2016, 02:51:31 PM
Last week we managed to have another crack at the sword and spear rule set but this time we used my dads new Mid Roman republic and late Carthaginian 10mm armies. There is a AAR over on my blog with lots of photos, just use the link below if you fancy checking it out
cheers :-h

Excellent report and photos. I do think Impetus games look superb with the large bases.

It does indeed, however they were playing Sword & Spear. . .

Shows that it looks and plays better with Impetus bases though  :D

That said I'd sooner be playing Impetus, S&S doesn't do it for me

Tried S&P and it didn't do it for me either.

Does that mean you have an official Pendraken clone - long service award that sort of thing?
