LEGIONARIES

Legionaries form the backbone of the Roman army. Well trained, well equipped and well led they are expensive in points but rock solid on the table. As they are a drilled formation they usually fight in a two-deep line with bases touching together, but this affords them a +1 armour bonus when attacked. When in danger from shooting the legionaries can form a testudo, or tortoise, which gives them extra cover from missile fire. Finally the Legions have a nasty surprise for any would be attackers with their pila.

UNIT NAME	Legionaries	POINTS	6
Attack	6+	Attack Value	4+
Move	5+	Defence Value	4+
Shoot	6+	Shoot Value	5+/6”
Courage	4+	Maximum movement	6”
Armour	3	Special rules	Testudo; Pila; Drilled

Models per unit: 12

SPECIAL RULES:

·         Testudo: There needs to be 6 or more models to form a testudo. On a move order form the unit into a three rank formation with equal numbers in each rank or as close to it as you can get. A testudo cannot form in Rough terrain or in cover. Testudos increase their Armour by 1 point against shooting attacks, but decrease their Defence value by -1 if Attacked and contacted by enemy.

·         Pila: All legionaries are armed with two pila that can be thrown at enemy as a shooting order. When Attacked the legionary unit may test to throw its pila just prior to contact as a charge reaction. Pila may be used twice by a unit in a game, after which they are exhausted. Pila may not be used by a unit in testudo formation.

·         Drilled: So long as their bases are touching and they are arrayed in a two deep line legionaries gain the benefit of close order training. This enables them to gain a +1 armour advantage in Attacks when defending as the men protect each other with their shields.

UNIT UPGRADES:

·         None.

NUMIDIAN LIGHT HORSE

The Numidian cavalry are some of the finest skirmishing horsemen in the world. Their ability to evade is legendary, usually on the heels of a hail of javelin throwing.

UNIT NAME	Numidian horsemen	POINTS	5
Attack	7+	Attack Value	5+
Move	5+	Defence Value	6
Shoot	6+	Shoot Value	5+/12”
Courage	5+	Maximum movement	12”
Armour	3	Special rules	Skirmish; Evade

Models per unit: 6

SPECIAL RULES:

·         Skirmish: As an ordered activation, successful on a 5+, the unit may choose to make a half move and Shoot either before or after this movement takes place.

·         Evade: When an enemy has successfully diced to attack this unit, but before it moves, this unit may test to evade at 7+. If it succeeds, it immediately carries out a skirmish action targeting the Attacking unit only, may not move closer to the Attacking unit, and must avoid other units by 3” as usual; casualties inflicted in the skirmish action cause a Courage test or Lucky Blow only at the end of the Attack. The charging unit then moves its full charge distance following the Evading unit; if it makes contact it Attacks with the evading unit reducing its armour to 1, and if it cannot contact it must move as close as possible. If the evade test fails, the unit stands in place and awaits attack without moving or shooting, and its armour drops to 1 during the Attack. Evade cannot be used if the unit is Battered.

NUMIDIAN SKIRMISHERS

Numidians don’t just ride horses. Some of them run around and throw javelins too.

UNIT NAME	Numidian skirmishers	POINTS	2
Attack	7+	Attack Value	6
Move	5+	Defence Value	6
Shoot	7+	Shoot Value	5+/12”
Courage	5+	Maximum movement	8”
Armour	1	Special rules	Hard to target; Skirmish; Evade; Fleet Footed

Models per unit: 6

SPECIAL RULES:

·         Hard to target: Skirmishers count as Armour 2 versus Shooting and may only be targeted within 12”.

·         Skirmish: As an ordered activation, successful on a 7+, the unit may choose to make a half move and Shoot either before or after this movement takes place.

·         Evade: When an enemy has successfully diced to attack this unit, but before it moves, this unit may test to evade at 7+. If it succeeds, it immediately carries out a skirmish action targeting the Attacking unit only, may not move closer to the Attacking unit, and must avoid other units by 3” as usual; casualties inflicted in the skirmish action cause a Courage test or Lucky Blow only at the end of the Attack. The charging unit then moves its full charge distance following the Evading unit; if it makes contact it Attacks with the evading unit reducing its armour to 1, and if it cannot contact it must move as close as possible. If the evade test fails, the unit stands in place and awaits attack without moving or shooting, and its armour drops to 1 during the Attack. Evade cannot be used if the unit is Battered.

·         Fleet Footed: This unit does not halve its movement in Rough terrain.
