Hi Curt, I've used Hail Caesar and Augustus to Aurelian rules (also Simon MacDowell's Legio rules). Am most familiar with the former.
I want to run really big games with >1500 minis, and I've not found rules that will support anything that big, within the difficult constraints of a show, so I am trying to write some simple rules myself. This is at least twice as hard as writing complex rules. I have a draft, still needs a lot of work, though.
very cool they do look very impressive in all their eglory

At Partizan, I was so pleased with the look of my newish ex-marine legion that I decided to expand it from 80 to 99 men, and I've just finished it; 'av a click!
I'm going to work towards all my legions being the same size, which I think will work well with the scale of battles I'm planning, which often featured 6 or more legions. Accordingly I'm planning to expand my "big" XIIII Gemina Martia Victrix to 12 x 24 man units so that it can represent 3 legions on the above scale, and I plan to collect 4 more fresh legions, so that I can field 8 legions in total. Collecting 460 more legionaries will clearly take a year or two!
I've also started work on a new project, which (unbelievably!) includes Wargames Factory minis...

Hi Paul,
I'm casting around for a suitable mini; I have one possible miniature in mind...
Ideally though, I'd really like to get my hands on a copy of the Warlord Games miniature that came out with Hail Caesar, he'd be perfect.

Beautiful work, Simon, and very impressive. What rules do you use for your ancients? I really like the mass of these units you produce...
