Hi all,

Just started to play Sword and Spear and realise that I need to make som form of baggage/camp element for my Early Imperial romans and Daciane.

Any ideas on whats is avaliabel to use for suitable tents etc?

Leven has some Roman tents.

Baggagetrain do some stuff in 10mm

I just use carts and porters - ubiquitous and generic, covers just about any sub-period, use different porters for variance

15mm but same thing will work in 10mm

Bauda have some very nice items :

How do they fit in with 10mm Figures?

Have you considered all the various bits of paraphernalia produced by Pendraken for your camps. Admittedly these things are spread throughout the ranges so you have to go on a hunt, but the dungeon stuff is a good place to start - you should be able to find barrels, boxes, both closed and open with food contents, fires, wells, wagons, tents (surprisingly the WWII range has some very versatile two man tents), and there are baggage camels and civilians in the Sudan range, and of course the recently released petting zoo. Plus back in dungeons there are tables and chairs.

GRX10 and GRX12 have boxes and sacks.
VM16 porters
ACR10 and 11 - elephants
DAX1 - medieval civvies
SC13 arab civvies

Lots pf goodies!

Isn't there a fire in the dungeon accessories?

I had considered  Pendraken, but had not found what I was looking for in the ancients range.  I was hoping someone would say "Oh yes I used ....." 

So thanks for all your ideas

Since barrels only come into use in around 350BCE, starting in Gaul, I use oval shaped plastic fishing lures as pottery jars instead, for Ancients.

Wine, oil, grain, etc. were transported and stored in this sort of thing for centuries.

Around a pound fifty for c100 assorted "jars" from China via EBay

Is that before or after that Jesus bloke was around?

If we really, really need to tie our chronologies to specific deities, Leman, feel free to think of CE as "Christian Era" and BCE as "Before Christian Era," if that helps.

I am with Leman on this.  Why did it need to be changed?  It hardly offended anyone

Christians will obviously not be offended
Muslims have Jesus as one of their prophets
The Jews just say he was not the Messiah
The eastern religions mainly use their own calendars

Actually of all the people who might be offended with BC and AD its the Christians.  BC- Before Christ is ok, but AD - After Death does not actually comply with the Christian belief that Christ died and was resurrected so is therefore NOT DEAD.

So if we are going to be absolutely correct AD is completely wrong. If the Christian Christ is not dead , Whose death are we talking about?   

But to go back to the original topic.  What is the problem with what we already had BC and AD.
