Having been painting, making and generally faffing around and not quite finishing my 28mm Patrician Roman army for the last 18 months, the annual Derby competition suddenly hove into view and offered up not one, but two opportunities to put the figures on the table.
The end result are 5 well-packed and imposing L'Art de le Guerre battle reports (http://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Derby_2017_1.php) featuring sumptuous imagery of troops that are actually big enough to be able to see with the naked, unaided human eye!

Across the weekend the army from the tail end of the Roman Empire fought its predecessors, its contemporaries, its allies and it's mortal enemies - and even, on one notable occasion, itself (http://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Derby_2017_1.php) - on a series of 6x4 tabletops in an aircraft hangar in the East Midlands.
See for yourself why the fall of the Roman Empire may actually have been FAKE NEWS (http://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Derby_2017_1.php), and why the 28mm game might well prove to be the absolute real sweet spot for Ancient wargaming with the L'Art de la Guerre ruleset.

Yes, these reports (http://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Derby_2017_1.php) are possibly your gateway drug to mainlining the seemingly almost daily releases of plastic multipose 28mm ancients figures now on the market. Read on with care (http://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Derby_2017_1.php)...
Super reports, and piccies. =D> =D>
Back to have a much longer look, later.

So, whos up for filling these 60x60 bases with 10mm infantry then...? ;)
Pure eye candy ! And enjoyed the cartoon commentary that one can inject into the 28mm character images.
And while you are on forum - thanks again for the compare and contrast articles that guided many of us through the "10mm" minefield of vehicles/figures and scale variance.
Much appreciated. :-bd

Love a bit of late and post-Roman action.
