A Couple More Polemos: SPQR Gallic Wars Clashes

[Whirlwind]

Please see here and here for more battles from the Gallic War, as Romans and Helvetii fight it out with the Polemos: SPQR rules and Baccus 6mm figures.

Very enjoyable battle reports.

Just out of curiosity, what do the triangular bases represent?

They are “general orders” markers, indicating whether a force is advancing, skirmishing and so on.  Unlike other games in the Polemos series, or in say DBx, when enough tempo points/PIPs are given to activate a force, it stays activated from turn-to-turn until prevented from doing so by enemy action.

This is  very nice and great inspiration for my 3mm project!

We get slapped around, but we have a good time!

Very interesting. Many thanks for the info!
