This is my third ancient project for which I have already begun painting armies. The project continues as Rome’s Final Act; the transition period from Later Imperial to Patrician and the barbarian tribes that helped draw the curtain shut. dbagora.blogspot.nl/2016/11/from-migration-to-kingdom-introduction.html There will be new armies and building projects and more importantly the campaign rule set will receive further adaptations for political and economic elements. Cheers, Robert

Sounds like a nice project with all sorts of anarchy across the empire.
Cheers,

Sounds like a nice project with all sorts of anarchy across the empire. Cheers, It is a challenging project and that is why I am focusing on the events in Gaul and in particular the transition period; Late Imperial to Patrician.

From Migration to Kingdom (the Imperial Army) Part two is a brief overview of the Imperial army noting several key changes.
Not earth shattering news, but coupled with parts three and four (administration, timeline) we have a better picture of the migration of the 5th century. dbagora.blogspot.nl/2016/11/from-migration-to-kingdom-part-two.html

...this project could be quite interesting also for me. The Germamic migration to the east is realy complex but you need Roman writers to report the history. But there are Asiatic nomads periodically arriving from the east...

But there are Asiatic nomads periodically arriving from the east... "The Germanic migration to the east", are you referring to the tribes that moved to the Balkans (4th c. AD)?

Do you mean the 'Germanic' tribes under the control of the Huns? Or are you thinking of the tribes prior to the creation of the Hunnic Empire?

I am aware of the piratical raids across the Black Sea and the displacement of territories among the tribes between the Dniester River and Caucaland during the 3rd and 4th century, but am unsure about any “migrations east”.
This project and the final campaign development will focus on the tribes crossing the Rhine to settle in Gaul and northern Spain.

From Migration to Kingdom (Timeline) I found the following timeline useful to improve my understanding of migration and how well Rome was or not able to cope with it. I do have a number of interesting scenarios written, but my plan is to refine the current campaign rule set so as to handle a migration themed campaign.

From Migration to Kingdom (the barbarians) This latest post gives a brief overview of the tribes crossing the Rhine in 406 AD and includes some key factors that will need addressing when modifying the current campaign rules. dbagora.blogspot.nl/2016/11/from-migration-to-kingdom-barbarians.html
Play testing should begin next week with reports appearing at the blog.

... are there no Sarmate tribes crossing the Rhine with the Gemanic peuple? Yes, but not in the sense as a Sarmatian nation. My reading says they simply "joined" the other mounted people.
Do not overlook the fact that many were relocated earlier through treaties with Rome; as many as 30,000 moved to Gaul decades prior.
