Good cavalry armies. Even I would be tempted to join in. Allies are permitted of course?

Mark - just looking through the army lists and I notice that the Limigantes (334-359 AD) actually fall outside of the time period.

Originally I was thinking of going for 301-400 AD, but Bill and I agreed that going a century earlier would (a) reflect the fact that the Sarmatians had pretty much completed their decline by the early 300's, and (b) we hoped to get a better spread of armies. We missed that one in the re-shuffle. Apologies. |

Yes like this - also that I will not have to rely on other's generosity by borrowing an army as can at last supply one of these...peter

I think Menacus Secundus is also 'blessed' in that respect. Nice spread of armies in this one. All sorts of rock-paper-scissors possibilities. M |

Were the Middle Imp. Roman b list / East intended to be included, BTW? Yes. They are not listed as enemies but are included as "potential" enemies. (It would seem odd to include the Western Romans but not the Easterners in a theme centred around the Balkans and Black Sea). |
