So I have been absent from the blog for a while, not that many (if any) people follow it. In Feb I received orders to the UK and so began the process of pack up my collection and the rest of my house for the movers. After much drama with the Military Personnel we finally arrived on May 23rd and began looking for a place to live. We found one but it wont be available for move in until July 15th. In the mean time I have been getting stuck in with my new assignment which actually is quite slow paced and leaves me with much more free time. Around work my family and I have been getting out to see the local area as much as possible. We have seen 3 Roman Villa Ruins, a Roman Wall Ruin, couple of nice museums, and more. Once we get settled into our house (our belongings all arrived on the 18th) I can look to see what condition my collection is in. I did my best to pack it all to survive but you never know with military movers.
Seeing all the Roman stuff and being in the same country and the amazing Victrix Limited I decided to order the bulk of my planned Syracusan army to fight with/against Republican Romans, Carthaginians, or other Greeks.
Army composition loosely inspired by the Battle of Krimisos
1st Division
- Syracusan Hoplite heavy Infantry 3x8 27pts
- Syracusan Hoplite heavy Infantry 3x8 27pts
- Syracusan Hoplite heavy Infantry 3x8 27pts
- Syracusan Hoplite heavy Infantry 3x8 27pts
- skirmishers x2
2nd Division
- Mercenary Hoplite heavy Infantry 3x8 32pts
- Gaelic Warband medium Infantry 4x8 28pts
- Samnite light Infantry 2x8 20pts
- Light Cavalry 2x3 17pts
- Skirmishers
3rd Division
- Mercenary Hoplite heavy Infantry 3x8 32pts
- Etruscan heavy Infantry 3x8 29pts
- Samnite Light Infantry 2x8 20pts
- Light Cavalry 2x3 17pts
- Skirmishers
This order, along with a box of Warlord Gaelic infantry and a bag of Victrix Greek cavalry I already have, will nearly fill the roster. All I am missing are Etruscans and I haven't settled on what I want to use for them.
