Hi all,
I want to play the Cannae "double DBA" scenario from the (excellent) "great battles of history for DBA 3". For that, I need to add roman 4Ax units. I am looking for the most "historical" figs for these units, but it seems that at that time the "allied" legions represented bi these 4Ax units are mostly equipped like the roman legions, represented by the 4Bd units. So, how to represent these units (with which figs) to differenciate them form the 4Bd, apart from the base depth ? Should I take figs historically inaccurate but easier to differenciate while playing, or standard hastati / princepes, but on 20mm deep bases ?
Earlier, I could use unassimilatied italian allies figs, later in th esecond punic war I could use penal legion, even later I could use Illyrian infantry (like in the Essex miniatures army pack), but for the early mid-republican army ?
As I want to buy forged in battle figs, should I use :
- oscan unarmoured peltasts (or another reference from the italian range) as if they were earlier unassimilated allies
or :
- roman accensi medium infantry (or another reference from the republican roman range), would that be more historical ?
