the Romans...against who??
« on: September 29, 2006, 01:10:19 PM »
Hi everybody.
a question for wargamers:
I've just bought a good roman army (a "manipolus" about 150 men). The question now is: against WHO they will fight? One of my friend suggested me to collect vikings (they could represent GAULS or BRITONS).
Any other suggestion?

Hello, Durendal ...


The Vikings and Barbarians would probably make excellent "enemies" for the Romans.

Don't forget ... there were also some Roman "Civil Wars" ...

Please post some pictures of your Roman battles !!!

All the best,
Richard

Also ... The new Roman game at the Playmobil.de website uses middle eastern people for the Roman enemies!

I think building up some enemies should be easy, just grap some shields and swords and there u have some Babarians  :) About 3 years ago I also had some nice gladiators, what about that idea?

Yes,

I think, for the moment the best choice is a barbarian army, waiting for some items looking like persians or something similar...

I would use barbarians or vikings. For me vikings because I already have a sizable army of them. Basically the Romans would fight against other more barbaric looking cultures, if I could be so blunt. And, you could have the occasional civil war too.

Use the Vikings as German Tribesmen or other Romans for the Civil Wars.

I have the same opinion as most of you, I think that the barbarians or vivkings are the best ones. The idea of doing a roman civil war is wonderful.

A ROMAN CIVIL WAR !!!

Hello, Supermaca ...

The Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC  might be an excellent finale to a Playmobil Roman Civil War.

The Playmobil Romans (in the background of your avatar) could be Pompey's Praetorian Guard. And, the new Romans could be Caesar's Legions.

hello richard
that's right all the romans i have in the background of my avatar could be perfect for the pompeyan guards but I only have that 5. I would like to have the romans but I have to wait until they arrive here in Spain. But I know them thanks to the exhibition of Playcliks on Barcelona this september.
