T10:562 JOE HACK – Impose on the Irish 1
Thursday, 10:00 AM, 4 hrs, Players: 12, Location: Heritage: HR-41
GM: Joe Swartz & NOWS

Period: Ancients, Scale: 28mm, Rules: JOE HACK
Description: The Romans didn’t leave a written record of being in Ireland. Neither did the Irish, but they didn’t write either. On a clear day, the eastern tip of Ireland can be seen from western England. Perhaps the Romans thought of the Irish as meek, mild and peaceful. Perhaps the Romans were never invited in. (or they Romans may have decided not to leave a record of their humiliation) Will the Irish manage to overcome the ramparts of the Roman fort or will the Romans hold fast ? Rules taught. Minors welcome with adult.  

 

While obviously “alternate history” – it will be interesting to see if the people running this will be basing it as a tangent off either of the historical Roman invasions of Britain.  Whether that’s Caesar’s first attempt or Claudius’ more successful attempt a few generations later, that might effect what kind of Romans we see, late republic or early imperial.
